According to the American Animal Hospital Association's 1995 Pet Owner's Survey, nearly 30% of pet owners in our nation have lost, and never again found, a missing pet. There is a science to finding lost pets, and it is based on a combination of law enforcement techniques used to find lost people and research into the behavior of lost pets. Through educational programs for staff and volunteers of animal welfare organizations, we can alleviate the suffering of lost pets and their owners. We can also have a significant effect on pet overpopulation by returning lost dogs and cats to their owner so they never become strays, and never end up in overcrowded shelters facing an uncertain fate.

We believe giant breeds to be loyal and loving, yet very expensive and sometimes overwhelming due to their massive size and need for constant human attention.Many families do not do proper research and the result is an alarming number of giant breed dogs in need of assistance. Our purpose is to provide a loving foster home and quality food, medical attention, and behavioral training while they are in our care in order to properly evaluate and attend to each dog's special needs. Our ultimate goal is to place each foster dog in a forever home with a family who has demonstrated their ability to provide the necessary love, attention, and care that every gentle giant deserves. We strive to educate owners and potential owners about each unique giant breed's lifestyle, temperament, nutrition, health, and behavioral needs in order to support the breeds and find the perfect match for each rescue dog in our program.

The Delaware Humane Association (DHA)acts as a voice for companion animals and enhances their welfare by providing temporary shelter, spay/neuter services, humane education programs, and adoption/placement resources. Established in 1957 by a group of private citizens, DHA is a non-profit animal welfare organization. Each year, hundreds of animals come to DHA in search of a warm bed, a good meal, and most importantly, a new home. Our dedicated staff and volunteers work hard to ensure that each animal receives the best treatment possible during its stay at our adoption shelter. Staff members go the extra mile to prepare each dog or cat for a new home by keeping them well-groomed, giving them daily exercise and affection, providing obedience training and any necessary medical care.DHA hosts a number of programs which benefit the community, including rabies clinics, educational workshops, pet therapy, and an affordable spay/neuter program. We receive very little government funding. We rely on the support of the community in the form of volunteers, private donations, memberships, bequests, fund-raising events, and our popular Guardian Angel Programs.

On rare occasions we also take in dogs that are part of a pair. We serve families in the Southeast, though our home office is based in Jacksonville, Florida our rescue efforts are far-reaching! If you are interested in adopting please contact us at papillonmom@papillonpalsrescue.com to locate a rescue representative closer to your own area or click the email link provided below.We strive everyday to find the best home for each and every dog we take into our rescue. This means that we are advocates for the dog first. Prospective adopters should remember this and keep our efforts in mind and try to be patient as we review each application and evaluate each dog's personality to find the BEST possible fit for their "Forever Home". While some dogs stay in foster care for extended periods of time, and others are placed relatively quickly, the AVERAGE stay for one of our rescued dogs is about 6 to 8 weeks. This gives us the opportunity to fully evaluate the dog's individual personality and needs, and also allow us the opportunity to complete our screening process with each interested family.If by chance you are interested in helping our rescue efforts, there are a variety of ways you can do so. Contact us at papillonmom@papillonpalsrescue.com for further information about various volunteer options...OR...you may make a donation to our cause.

Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is Palm Beach County's longest standing, largest animal welfare organization. Each year we take in nearly 10,000 lost, abandoned, injured and neglected animals. Every animal is given a complete medical exam and tested for disease, spayed or neutered, vaccinated and given a microchip. There is no time limit for an animal to stay at the Animal Rescue League. The Animal Rescue League functions to provide shelter, medical services, care and protection for homeless and neglected companion animals. By advocating for their welfare, community involvement and education we are striving to end the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals in Palm Beach County.
The IMPS mission is to improve the lives of homeless and abandoned Miniature Pinschers through rescue and the love and respect that comes with humane care, compassion and kindness. IMPS attempts to assist Miniature Pinschers in need by providing foster care, transport, adoptive homes, veterinary care, and other services and information for the well-being of Miniature Pinschers. All Miniature Pinschers placed through IMPS will be spayed or neutered prior to placement, and have been thoroughly evaluated by a breed representative for temperament and training needs. IMPS requires reimbursement of all necessary veterinary costs (eg. the cost of the spay/neuter, microchipping, and any veterinary care required prior to placement), and in some instances, travel costs. A donation to the organization is requested with each adoption so that we may continue to care for chronically ill and/or severely injured foster dogs. In all cases, any expenses related to the adoption will be agreed upon prior to placement. While the Adoption expenses may be negotiable for some dogs, please remember that the care and upkeep of a dog, even the "King of Toys", requires some financial outlay, and if a small placement expense is beyond your means, you may wish to consider a pet which does not require as much care as the Miniature Pinscher.

Area Served: Cape Cod Dogs |
I have alot of background in dog training and behaviour. Also, I have helped saved many dogs from being euthanized at various animal shelters by taking the time they may not have had, and researching and finding new homes for the "hard to place" dogs at shelters and pounds. I have been certified in dog training school but it goes way beyond the "basic training". In my experience the dogs that really needed saving and rehab for placement are the ones that the shelters would not adopt out for as they say "liability" reasons. In other words, not to blame them, they need to protect their organizations, but the dogs need to be socialized and retrained or rehabbed and they are understaffed and volunteers have to abide by their rules. I have a circle of experienced dog loving people who have found each other through the same concerns and venues. Trying to help the so called "impossible dog" to place in just any homes. The dogs have failed the infamous" temp tests" that are OFTEN times given by inexperienced shelter staff and their "trainers"! Many dogs I have seen be destroyed because they gave the "whale eye" to a "trainer" who then would fail the dog, and therefore, well, the dog was put down because he may have been misjudged by an inexperienced person. I am not saying that all tests are bad I am just saying that you canot predict a dogs behaviour all the time, so why not consider the circumstances and give the dog another chance? I realize that this is a debate that could go on forever. So, I would rather help by helping people who need help with dogs, and dogs that need help with their people. If I am not qualified I will not pretend to know all, I will simply direct you to who may help you. MY intention is to help keep people from making the devasating decision to surrender their beloved pet to a shelter or vice-versa, have pets get adopted and then go back to the shelter just to be bounced around or worse "yes worse" euthanized.

Because we are small we offer a dedication and bonding to the dogs that is often lacking in other national groups. We can also work very closely with the surrendering families to insure piece of mind to them, while also offering safe and caring foster homes knowledgeable of the breed. We take great pride in providing the very best veterinary care and finding the very best forever homes for the dogs entrusted to us. It is because of this passion for the breed that we are very selective on the homes in which we will place our Yorkies. All our pups are completely vetted and are spayed or neutered before placement.

Second Chance Sheltie Rescue is an all-volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of abandoned or unwanted purebred Shelties.
Our mission is to save the lives of abused and unwanted American Eskimo dogs in the St. Louis area. We are a group of dedicated volunteers, working together for the benefit of helpless and homeless Eskies. Our program is funded by donations and adoption fees. Our volunteers spend endless hours of rescue work which involves transporting, fostering, and networking to save American Eskimo lives.
Rescue from kill shelters those about to be put down. Rescue more than the cute lap dogs, we rescue the dogs that are hard to place into loving homes. Rescued means we get them adopted. We work in a economically depressed area, so we do everything we can to spay/neuter and help those that cannot afford to pay for the medical service. We work with the local shelters/pounds to save animals and reduce or stop unwanted litters. We a 501c3 and only survive on donations. We need a larger kennel to pull and save more animals. Can anyone help????

To outline our adoption program, we require a fenced yard in most cases, the dog must be an indoor pet and a member of the family and you must have time to give the dog the attention it requires and deserves. Italian Greyhound Rescue is an organization that receives Italian Greyhounds who have been turned in for various reasons with housebreaking issues and "not knowing the breed" being at the top. Italian Greyhounds are typically, very sensitive and 'needy', they want to connect to their owners and be part of their lives....if the dog is unhappy and misunderstood, the owner will also be unhappy.

Adopt a Rescue Pet is a non-profit organization. We go in to the local Shelters and Save the dogs on thier last days. We rescue many breeds. However, We DON'T get very many SMALL dogs, like the Toy Breeds. Its rare to see them on the Kill list.
Our Club members meet monthly for "play days" and we also schedule other fun events. Our big fundraiser of the year to support Dachshund Rescue is our annual Hallo-Wiener. We have Dachshund races, costume parade and contest, raffles and food/drinks. Our Club assists in the rescue and placement (adoption) of abandoned Dachshunds and helps provide funds for medical treatment for these Dachshunds through fundraisers. The objective of our Club is to promote responsible pet ownership (updated vaccinations, microchipping, spaying/neutering and training.) You are more than WELCOMED to join our Club and participate on our on board discussions and attend any of our events.

The purpose of the Las Vegas Weimaraner Club Rescue Program is to take Weims in need of homes, rehabilitate them, and find loving new homes for these wonderful dogs. Our goal is to give as many lost, neglected and abandoned Weims as possible a second chance at a good life. Often through no fault of their own, Weimaraners are turned over to us because of lifestyle changes of their owners. The owners divorce, move to an apartment, have a baby, etc. and can no longer care for their Weimaraner. Also animal shelters throughout the state receive Weimaraners for various reasons also. These shelters know of our Rescue Program and call us when they get a Weimaraner. Sometimes Weims are found running loose and are turned over to us. Why adopt an adult dog? Weimaraner puppies, as cute as they are, are notorious for causing havoc as they go through the housebreaking, chewing, and basic learning stages. Rescued Weims make wonderful companions. They seem grateful for a new life. How do I adopt a Weimaraner? In order to adopt a dog from our Rescue Program, an adoption application must be completed. This application can be found on our website under the Rescue Section. How long does it take to adopt a Weimaraner? The length of the adoption process depends on the availability of dogs in our Rescue Program that meet your particular needs. Some Rescue dogs are placed within weeks of being received in our program. Others stay in the program for months as they recover from previous neglect or abuse. Whatever time the dog needs to be rehabilitated is determined by the individual dog. A donation of $250 is requested for each adopted Weimaraner. The donation will go to help pay for Vet & Boarding bills for the weims in rescue and to help with saving future weims.

The Concord-Merrimack County SPCA was founded in 1910 to relieve suffering and prevent cruelty to animals and to educate society on the importance of being just and compassionate to all living things.In the 1930s, the agency was one of the original five agencies to form the Community Chest, which has since grown to today's active and highly successful United Way of Merrimack County. Our agency remains a part of the United Way as a designated agency.Our original structure was basically a chicken coop to provide temporary shelter to animals in need. Today we have a 2000 square foot shelter with additional administrative space in a separate building on the property.Our past history reflects a different philosophy of sheltering that was based on animal shelter serving as "warehouses" for homeless animals. Today, our shelter is truly a shelter, with all that word implies in providing safety from the world around us. It is a warm and caring facility for animals in transition, where staff find a loving home for all adoptable animals, no matter how long it may take. And our mission, while basically the same as that back in 1910, is interpreted to require not only on-site care of animals but an active involvement in the community that supports us by serving as a resource to all pet guardians and as an educational voice for our youth. Our programs and services reflect our involvement, our commitment, and our vision.

The only rescue in the State of New Jersey dedicated to English Bulldogs, HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue is a volunteer group of bulldog lovers whose mission is to re-home bulldogs who are surrendered by their owners or find themselves otherwise without homes, landing in animal shelters or wandering the streets as strays. Volunteers provide foster care, veterinary care and rehabilitation for these needy dogs, ultimately finding them forever homes. While HeavenSent places rescued bulldogs primarily with families in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, bulldogs from the surrounding areas are rescued as well, including those in New York, Delaware, and Maryland. In 2006, HeavenSent rescued and placed more than 50 bulldogs. HeavenSent is not a shelter facility! Foster care for bulldogs in transition is provided in the private homes of HeavenSent's volunteers, who receive no compensation for their time. Many volunteers, by choice, spend their own money to provide toys, treats, food, grooming and beds for the dogs entrusted to their care. HeavenSent is not a paid network, is not affiliated (see our non-affiliation statement below) with any purebred dog club or other for-profit organization, and does not operate under any type of charitable program providing funds for veterinary care. HeavenSent relies solely on donations and fundraisers to finance veterinary exams, inoculations, medications, and surgical procedures including routine spaying/neutering as well as life-enhancing and, sometimes, life-saving surgery. Donations also help pay for food, bedding, grooming supplies, bowls, vitamins and other supplements. HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization and a New Jersey Nonprofit corporation.

We Are a No-Kill Sanctuary. Currently our efforts are focused on dogs, who live safe and free here while they recover physical health and emotional harmony. All are spayed or neutered, receive appropriate veterinary care, and excellent nutrition. No cages, no chains. They have 35 snugly fenced acres on which to run and play. They are occasionally separated in large shady enclosures as may seem prudent for the safety and comfort of both the newcomers and the old-timers - an adjustment period that is usually brief, since most dogs are so fond of other dogs. As needed, they receive homeopathic and herbal remedies, nutritional supplements, chiropractic treatment, acupuncture, and western medicines to address acute or chronic physical or behavioral symptoms. When they are ready, we help them to join new human families. Occasionally an unexpected condition such as cancer is revealed during the initial veterinary exam. Or a traumatized animal who functions joyfully in this "free" environment cannot adjust to the requirements of life as a "pet" and is considered "unadoptable." We do everything possible to help those animals achieve comfort and happiness and they live out their lives with us.

The Canine Development Center is an exciting place, where the first steps are taken toward producing a successful guide dog team: breeding, birthing, socializing, screening and placing high- potential puppies in loving, nurturing puppy raising homes. The puppies are bred to maximize the qualities required in a working guide dog and minimize any health problems that would disrupt or shorten a guide dog's working years. These are very special puppies - the result of many generations of selective breeding. Approximately half of the puppies go on to be working guide dogs. However, every pup is valued and goes on to find his or her place in the world; as a guide dog or another type of service dog, or as a loving pet in a carefully screened home.

Greyhound Adoption of Ohio is a nonprofit organization that has been dedicated to placing retired racing greyhounds in loving homes for over sixteen years. To date we have placed more than 1600 dogs (who might otherwise have been destroyed) into homes where they have become members of the family. We are very proud of the work we do and the many volunteer hours it takes to provide homes for these amazing animals. Our Mission Statement: Greyhound Adoption of Ohio Was established in January of 1993 to attempt to compensate the wonderful greyhound for the injustices bestowed upon them at the hands of the racing industry. Since our inception, we have placed more than 1000 greyhounds in loving homes. We retrieve retired or rejected greyhounds from the racing kennels, bring them to the kennel and prepare them for their new lives. Upon arrival at GAO, each dog is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, heartworm-tested, receives a thorough dental cleaning, has a microchip implanted for permanent identification and has any other medical care he or she might need. Each dog is then evaluated to determine what type of home will be best for placement. Some of the factors considered include the activity level of each dog and family, whether there are children or other pets in the home, how long the family is away on a daily basis, and whether the family has a history of responsible pet ownership. We strive to ensure these gentle creatures are placed in homes where they will live safe and secure and be loved for the rest of their lives. We believe, however, that adoption is but a "band-aid" on a very large wound. There can never be enough homes for all the dogs in need. For each greyhound that is placed, a dog somewhere will die because that home was taken. With an estimated 10-15 million unwanted animals abandoned or destroyed each year in this country, our goal, in addition to finding loving homes for these kind and gentle creatures, is to make the public aware of the enormity of the pet overpopulation problem and to encourage spaying and neutering of all pets. Therefore, we do not place greyhounds in homes where there are unaltered pets. For many in the racing industry, greyhounds are a disposable commodity, to be discarded when they are no longer able to provide a profit for their owners. We are aware that there are owners and trainers who do take good care of their charges and do everything possible to ensure that they go to responsible adoption organizations when their racing days are over. We endeavor to acknowledge and assist these individuals in their efforts. At Greyhound Adoption, we believe those responsible for the vast over breeding and blatant cruelty that takes place in the sport should be held accountable, and look forward to the day when there will be no need for organizations like ours.
Greyhound Adoption of Ohio is the largest (based on number of dogs placed) and oldest (based on incorporation date) greyhound adoption organization in the state of Ohio. At the time of our inception, in 1993, greyhounds were rarely seen in Ohio. Today, you'll see greyhounds nearly everywhere you go! The word is out! Greyhounds make WONDERFUL pets! GAO receives dogs from numerous tracks around the country, but primarily from Florida , Wisconsin and Kansas . We generally have 25-30 dogs awaiting placement at any given time. Upon arrival at GAO, each dog is neutered, vaccinated, checked for parasites, heartworm tested, microchipped and has a complete dental cleaning. Anything else the future pet may need is done prior to placement. Occasionally, GAO will receive a dog with a fractured leg, an injury that is quite common in the world of greyhound racing. These dogs receive excellent care through Ohio State University 's orthopedic surgery center. Our goal, at GAO, is to place our greyhounds with loving, committed families where they will live safe and secure for the rest of their lives. To that end, GAO offers support to help your dog transition into his or her new life and throughout the life of your pet. We welcome you to the wonderful world of retired racing greyhounds! May it be as rewarding for you as it is for us!

We also make sure that they are spayed or neutered so that they do not continue the cycle of births that result in more pets than homes.

We can help you find the perfect companion for your home and lifestyle! We are a no kill organization (the only time we euthanize is on the advice of a vet in order to end suffering where no hope of recovery exists). Everything we do is out of love for the animals. PAWS philosophy is that kindness to animals helps build a better world for all of us. Through the generosity of other caring individuals, we can ensure that animals who come into the care of PAWS will never again be alone, hungry, sick, afraid, or in pain.Our mission is ...To provide for the welfare, medical care, temporary housing, and adoption of dogs and cats in northeast Ohio.To Work for the prevention of cruelty to all animals.To work to form coalitions and working relationships with other local and national humane organizations.To actively create, promote and implement a humane education program.To reduce the over population of cats and dogs in northeast Ohio through education.

We have special foster families who care for these dogs, mostly broken limbs, until they are healed then NCGC finds them their forever home. It is very rewarding work. We also take in a large percentage of senior dogs (7 yrs. and over) to find homes for. Since a Greyhounds life span is 12-15 yrs there is still plenty of time to enjoy with these special Greys, and boy do they deserve it. There are also plenty of youngsters to be found at NCGC too! Some come straight off the track while others have been in the "Second Chance at Life" program, which is a prison training program. Once they have graduated they know "sit", "down", "shake" and other commands. Please consider adopting a Greyhound today.

We provide helpful information and training to new owners to help with the transition of dog and owner. We are determined to stay in touch with our adopters to insure a positive outcome for all. Oregon Dog Rescue is available for dog care seminars to educate the general public in regard to basic dog care, dog training and rescue.Oregon Dog Rescue is currently a resource for several shelters and Humane Societies in our area. We are contacted by these organizations when they have too many dogs or if they have a dog that is not doing well in a shelter environment. We evaluate the dog in person and determine whether the dog can be helped by our organization. We then provide any immediate attention such as baths, haircuts, etc. before placing them in a foster home. We provide the foster with supplies such as: a crate, bedding, toys, meds, food and any other items needed. The foster parent must care for the dog, take the dog to vet appointments if necessary and report their observations to one of the three directors. This information as well as pictures is displayed on the internet through Petfinder.com and our own website. Dogs are also accepted on a case by case basis from individual owners as well. We notify veterinarians in the area who may be treating dogs that the owners can no longer care for. Our posting on Petfinder.com also brings in calls from individual owners who may need to re-home their dog. Volunteers also contact posters on the internet as well as newspaper advertisers who are actively looking for a new home for their dog. They inform the owners of our service and these owners sometimes set an appointment to meet with us in order to take their dog into our organization with the intention of finding the right new home.
