About Our Rescue Group

We are a non-profit foster home rescue that has been in existence since 1976. We rescue stray and abused animals off the streets, provide medical treatment, spay and neuter all animals prior to adoption so that we are not contributing to the overpopulation problem.

Come Meet our Pets

We show our pets at adoptathons around the greater Cleveland area, and partner with PetSmarts by using their in store cage spaces. We have PetSmart Coordinators for each of the three stores that we are in, and a PetSmart Supervisor who oversees all of the Coordinators. We utilize Petfinder by placing our pets with their pictures and descriptions so the public can view them.

Our Adoption Process

We have an adoption screening process, an adoption fee, and a follow up process for every adoption.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
