Our efforts are mainly concentrated on animals in high-kill shelters to reduce total euthanizations every year. We also provide spay/neuter services to our local community for unwanted litters. Our founder, Roni Taylor, has been saving animals since she was a teenager. She formalized the rescue in 2011, after her Weimarainer, Lola, passed away. Since then, we have: Successfully placed more than 4,500 animals in forever homes Drastically reduced the number of unwanted litters and homeless animals who were being euthanized Provide education on the importance of spaying/neutering and info on local low-cost or free resources Went from saving large & giant breeds to taking in all cases who need our help and care All of our animals are in foster homes, as we are an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Thus we want to consistently increase our number of fosters and volunteers to save more lives. We are always open to support from local businesses & individuals -- financial donation, dog/cat food, animal supplies (crates, leashes, collars, etc.) or even sharing us on social media. We operate solely on the donations and support from our community. We are very proud of this relationship and hope to increase it as we continue growing as a rescue. Check out more info on us in this article from Mile High Dog.

Quailwings Rescue is a 100% volunteer group that works from foster homes providing care and safe harbor for neglected animals. Our rescue promotes the humane treatment of animals and fosters respect, understanding and compassion for all creatures. Quailwings Rescue does not have a facility. We find that providing that care in a home, rather then a kennel works best for our rescues.

I actually just took over Rascal's Rescue in January. The president had a baby and just did not want to do it anymore. I have been doing rescue work since 2014 when I began working at our local humane association. After leaving there, I continued my rescue work on an individual basis. I do this to better the lives of the animals.

We are a small , foster home based rescue. Our volunteers call themselves "The Village" because of our tagline "It Takes A Village". Everyone works together to get our work done, transporting, trapping, working with the community, to help the cats and kittens that need us. Over the past year, we have an ever growing trap, neuter, return program, and take in many of the kittens from feral mothers, and work with other TNR programs to help them place theirs as well. We also work with other rescues when needed.

Non-Profit / No-kill / Donation only animal shelter serving NW Iowa and nationwide through online platforms

My name is Calla Gibson. I am a 2020 graduate at Delaware Valley University with a B.S. in Small Animal Science and a minor in Large Animal Science. I plan to attend vet school in the near future to obtain my DVM. I have been working for Dianes Discount Pet Supplies and Adoption Center for 8 years. This is where I began rescuing cats and kittens. Once it got larger, I decided I wanted to start my own non-profit rescue especially with all of the support I receive on a daily basis. It started years back with just a few bottle-raised kittens but then turned into about 30-40 kittens in a season. I also have been working for The Affordable Spay Neuter Clinic and Pet Care as a veterinary technician for 6 years. This is where my passion for spaying/neutering also began. Dr. Silberman is a dedicated doctor striving to limit the amount of unwanted animals in the US. He just exceeded his 20,000 surgery this summer and I am so happy to be apart of this. I also did my final senior seminar presentation on the affects of the feral cat population in our ecosystem. They are not only in the top 100 invasive species list but they are also killing native wildlife that is upsetting the balance in the world we live in. I truly believe that if everyone contributed to helping the feral and/or stray cat who is reproducing 3-4 litters in a season this would not be so much of a problem. Spaying and neutering is the only thing that will help keep the cat population at bay and everyone needs to be aware of the severity of this problem. I rescue kittens and cats because I know that at 6 months of age they will start to reproduce and make more kittens so if I rescue 30 or more kittens in a season that is a lot of litters of kittens I can prevent in the future. My biggest thing with people bringing cats into me is to try and catch the mother cat because she is either already pregnant and/or is going to become pregnant again because of the kittens that were just taken away from her. My biggest pet peeve is for the mother cat to be trapped and then fixed because saving those kittens ultimately will not fix the problem.

Pets4Luv is an all-breed dog and cat rescue with our primary focus being on the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of those animals that are injured, ill, disabled, Senior and other types of special needs, whether it is a temporary condition or a lifelong one. We also focus on the education of these companion animal illnesses, medical conditions and disabilities to help dispel the misconceptions about these conditions. We hope, with this information more readily available to the public, to increase the chances of “non-perfect” animals finding their loving, forever family. We have a Stray/Feral assistance program to help sick & injured feral cats get the medical attention the need.
