We save the lives of less adoptable cats and kittens that may otherwise be discarded or euthanized.   All Wayward cats and kittens are spayed or neutered, de-wormed, vaccinated and FIV/FeLV tested, given a flea preventive, and cared for until they are placed in a forever home. If the cat has an injury or illness they will be treated prior to adoption as well. WWCR is an approved Animal Care Services rescue! We are also a recognized Texas non-profit and will be filing for our 501(c)(3) status in 2014!

Our mission is to rescue cats in the Sun Cities area; to provide temporary care either in foster homes or in a permanent shelter for such animals, while facilitating their adoption in appropriate homes; to cooperate with other organizations dedicated to the rescue and care of homeless animals, and to work for humane solutions to the problem of pet overpopulation

Susan Dawson, Maureen Glunz and myself (Christine Schaeken) started walking boarded rescue dogs 4 years ago when we were training to walk the Breastcancer 3-Day. Friends and family members joined us within a few weeks and soon we had a bigger group of volunteers. Over time we not only walked the rescue dogs but got involved in their adoptions and we formed Rescue Pals. Most of our dogs are strays, mostly found in Fountain Hills. we have occasional owner surrenders. We are New Hope partners with Pinal Animal Care and Control and are working on becoming New Hope partners with Maricopa County Animal Care and control. But since most of our dogs are boarded in a boarding facility space is limited. We have a few foster homes and foster the dogs that need it, that shut down in the boarding facility or who need surgery and recovery or dogs who need rehabilitation. We are all volunteers

Marshall County AL Animal Control picks up stray pets and with the help of volunteers posts them to the internet so that they might find homes or rescues. Marshall County AL can only hold an animal for 7 days.

Northstar Shih Tzu Rescue (NorthStar/NSSTR) is an all-volunteer, 501c3 (in process) non-profit organization dedicated to Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs. NorthStar Shih Tzu Rescue exists to benefit both Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs and the people of our community. We operate as a no-kill rescue that provides rescue and adoption services, and meaningful outreach programs in order to advance the welfare of these companion animals, to serve and educate our community, and to make a positive, loving impact on the lives of both. NSSTR, located in Excelsior, MN, actively works to rescue Shih Tzu and Shih Tzu blend dogs from dangerous environments and shelters with the ultimate goal of placing them in loving, permanent, adoptive homes. We rescue unwanted, abandoned, and abused dogs. We have them vaccinated, micro-chipped, spayed or neutered, provide other medical care, and rehabilitate them in carefully selected foster homes. We also serve as a resource to our community and all pet owners by providing education and information on the benefits of adopting an animal in need as well as responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spay/neuter, good nutrition, and positive behavior training. We strive to increase public awareness about companion animal overpopulation, commercial breeders, and to offer solutions to end the killing of adoptable animals. We work in alliance with local animal shelters, pounds, other rescue groups, and humane society organizations to ensure these animals are not forgotten.

Texas Cattle Dog Rescue (TCDR) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing stray and abandoned Australian Cattle Dogs and providing medical and foster care, then placing these dogs in loving and caring homes. TCDR rescues dogs from city and county shelters throughout Texas. We find new, forever homes all across the state for our dogs. Our mission is to reduce the shocking number of heelers euthanized in Texas shelters. We match each rescued dog with a forever home where he/she will be loved, cared for, and fully enjoyed and appreciated. Educating current and future owners is a key focus and helps us match dogs with homes. We believe pets should be spayed and neutered to reduce pet over population. We also ensure our rescued dogs are healthy and vaccinated when they are placed.

The Nile Valley Egyptian Foundation Inc. is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, 501(c)3, no-kill and life-enhancing cat rescue group located in the United States of America. "The purpose of the Egyptian Cat Rescue of America (NVEcats) is to (physically) rescue, assist non-government organizations (NGO) and advocate (through education) for the endangered native Egyptian Mau, and Nile Valley Egyptian Cats." We support and work with Non Government organizations (NGO) who have rescued and placed thousands of abandoned, abused, stray and shelter cats and kittens in Cairo Egypt and surrounding areas.

Our organization is completely run by volunteers, everyone from the President to the person cleaning cages. We have 2 main focus areas. The first is that we want to find adoptable, homeless animals their forever home. We know that there currently is not enough room to hold all the stray cats in this area because of the government run shelters performing euthanasia to make more space for incoming animals. While we are no-kill and have limited space, we can still help take in some of the highly adoptable animals that would have been euthanized and find them a great home. Our volunteers love to care for the animals and get great joy in finding them that great home. A lot of them feel like every cat in the organization is their own. The second focus is that we want to resolve the over-population of cats issue in Chicago and its suburbs. To do this, we provide low-cost spay/neuter services to low-income people and rescues as well as provide trap/neuter/return services for feral cats. There are many rural farmers and people in surrounding counties to Chicago that just do not have the income to get the cats on their farm neutered, and so they start to accumulate very quickly. We have been able to assist many farms in slowing down and even stopping the growth of the number of cats on their farm and some of the cats from these farms we find great homes for! Overall, we enjoy what we do, helping both people with their pets and animals, and helping the animals too.

POMH Rescue is a breed-specific rescue for Schnauzers and their mixes.

We are a 501c3, NOT FOR PROFIT foster based rescue that is based in St. Charles County and services surrounding counties as well. Our organization provides rescue to dogs, cats, horses, goats, geese and ducks as well as all pocket pets. We rescue animals that are being abused and/or neglected in their homes while working with the high kill shelters in our area to pull the animals that sometimes only have minutes left before being euthanized, hence our name of NO TIME TO SPARE! Rescued animals will receive the proper medical care, including spaying or neutering and will be placed for adoption in “forever homes”. No animal in our care will ever be “put to sleep” to make room for another! Those animals that are unable to be placed will find sanctuary with us as permanent residents of No Time to Spare. We also provide temporary pet food assistance for families that are having financially difficult times, assist in temporary housing for pets of families that have lost their homes and provide several cost effective options for spaying, neutering, micro chipping and vaccines. WE CAN NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU SUPPORT!!! Being a not for profit organization we rely solely on donations and volunteers! Your contributions are tax deductible

H4S formed on January 2, 2004. Rutherford Co, NC does not have a shelter for adoptable pets. Only a 'high-kill' Animal Control. When I inquired as to the adoption/return to owner rate, at that time, it was a mere 3%. In the summer months, I had volunteered at a shelter in Yancey Co, NC for 10 yrs, establishing their rescue effort and building a 'state-of-the art' shelter, there. In the winter months, I felt lost and useless, and bored, so decided that I needed to step up to help rescue as many of the dogs I could, in Rutherford Co, NC where we lived during the winter months. In 2007, we decided to sell our summer place, since Yancey had everything it needed now, with a sweet shelter doing amazing things for the animals in need there. Since, Jan. 2004, H4S has rescued over 7,700 dogs and puppies. We trabsport as many as we can get into other no-kill rescues in NY and NJ, and also adopt out as many as we can handle, each month. We average a population of 35 adoptables each month, as well as 35 permanent 'sanctuary residents', mostly older beagles and hounds. It has become my life's work, and I LOVE what I do. I just WISH ALL counties everywhere had a FREE spay/neuter clinic, so 'rescue' wouldn't be a necessity.
