Rescue FAQs

Waiting On A Friend Rescue is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. Our mission is simple: every animal deserves a safe, loving, and happy life. We primarily rescue animals from Bowling Green Animal Society, as well as from local private owner surrenders. By stepping in, we’re able to give these animals a second chance at the futures they deserve. As a small but passionate team of fewer than five staff members, we provide individualized care and support to every animal that enters our rescue. In our very first year, we celebrated over 100 successful adoptions—a milestone that reflects both our commitment and our community’s compassion. Beyond placing animals into loving forever homes, we are dedicated to educating our community about responsible breeding, adoption, and the ongoing homeless animal crisis. Together, we believe we can create lasting change, one rescue at a time.
We proudly serve Bucks, Northampton, Lehigh, Schuylkill, Berks, Chester, Montgomery, Philadelphia, and Delaware counties. While we are able to work with adopters throughout Pennsylvania, we most closely serve and partner within Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery counties.
