Great Lakes Bengal Rescue is an entirely volunteer-run organization committed to protecting the welfare of Bengal cats in the Great Lakes region. These unique cats, which were originally bred between the Asian leopard cat and the common house cat, have become a great family pet. Unfortunately, many people do not do research before purchasing a Bengal cat and quickly find that it may not be a good fit for their home.
Save-A-Life, Inc., based out of Savannah, Georgia, is an all-volunteer organization created to save adoptable animals from local shelters and to help prevent overpopulation of companion animals through low cost spaying and neutering.
When SPCA International launched the Shelter of the Week Program it was our goal to help animal organizations that struggle with funding, but have an over abundance of spirit and determination to make this world a better place for all creatures. When we learned about Help Labus we found an organization that certainly meets these goals.
This is the time of the year when people, especially children, make wishes. They ask for a comfy pair of slippers, a shiny bike, the coat they’ve been eyeing in a store window, and on a much grander scale, world peace. If animals were given the opportunity to wish too, what would be at the top of their list? The volunteers at Loving Companions Animal Rescue in North Pole, Alaska, know the answer to this. Life!
Dog Town Canine Rescue is located near Carson City, Nevada. This haven for “recycled” dogs is out where there is an over abundance of sand and bitterbrush, where everything has thorns or stings, the wind blows nearly every day and the sun beats down without mercy. For the 30 dogs that make it to this shelter in the middle of the desert it is truly an oasis.
The Lawrence County Humane Society in Louisa, Kentucky was established on December 4, 1990. In 1994, the primarily volunteer run organization was able to expand from a foster care network to opening the only animal care facility in their community. Most of the animals in the shelter have been abandoned or found roaming the streets.
Adult cats are often over looked in shelters, the cute playful kittens are usually chosen first, leaving the adult cats to an almost certain death. Throw in a cat that requires additional treatment and care and that cat has almost no chance of ever being adopted. Most shelters will euthanize a cat if it is deemed unadoptable based on health, temperament and space restraints. In 2005, Blind Cat Rescue and Sanctuary in Saint Pauls, North Carolina opened their doors to blind cats from all over the country, giving them a deserving second chance at life.
