Our
Mission Our mission is to support legitimate Pet Rescue Organizations by assisting them with certain services and allowing them to focus on the care and finding of a suitable home for the pets they have rescued. Each pet listed on this site has been rescued by a rescue organization, given proper care and is available for adoption through that organization.
Why Rescue Rescue Groups began to form and one of the first was Pets Alive in New York State that was started in 1965.
Today, there are many No Kill shelters
where pets are not put to sleep, but the problem
of over crowding persists.
There are two major difference between shelters and rescues . Shelters are usually run and funded by the city where they are located. Rescue groups are funded only by donations and all the people are volunteers. While some shelters do put animals into foster homes, many are housed onsite in kennels. Rescue Groups place all their rescues into foster homes as they do not have shelter facilities. Animals in foster care do fare better as they are in a real home, just like the home that is out there for them somewhere. We have chosen to assist rescue groups, however, anytime a homeless pet finds a new and permanent home it's a good thing. If there is a shelter near you, then visit there to find a pet, or just volunteer to walk a dog or clean a rabbit's cage. We urge everyone to, 'Please consider adoption first'. Adoption is not for everyone, but there are many wonderful pets, that will love you forever if you bring them home with you.

When the shelters got full
and a dog was there too long, the dog was put to
sleep to make room for other more adoptable dogs
coming in. It was, and still is, a very
sad situation when a healthy pet is put to sleep
as a direct result of humans. The staff
working in shelters are still forced to make
incredibly gut wrenching decisions everyday.
Mostly caused by pet over population and the
failure of too many to recognize that pets
should be spayed or neutered. Bob Barker,
the host of The Price is Right ended
every broadcast of the show with a plea to spay
or neuter your pets, starting in the 1970's.
But even today, there are those that just don't
bother.
There are now
breed specific rescue groups for nearly every
breed and groups that rescue any dog.
There are also cat, rabbit, parrot, ferret and
other groups that rescue other pets.
