Rescue FAQs

We are like minded individuals (all volunteers) who rescue animals from kill shelters, the general public, and other bad situations and re-home them in loving forever homes. We fully vet those animals in our care before they are adopted out to their new owners. We teach the public the importance of Spay/Neutering of animals to help stop over population and deaths of many innocent animals. We educate about the care and well being of animals. We also go to schools to teach children animal care and responsibility. Our blind cat Ray ( he goes to classrooms and events) will teach one of our mottos, "You don't have to be perfect to be Purrfect." We also microchip every animal in our care so they may find their way home should they become lost. We also provide transport of animals from kill shelters to no kill shelters so they have a chance at life and finding forever homes. Just from 2016 to 2017 we saved 3425 dogs\cats\puppies\kittens from kill shelters and transported them up north where they were all adopted. Heather Keeler does a wonderful job of organizing these projects. We also saved over 100 animals in the Tampa Bay area and rehomed them.
We are in Hillsborough, Hernando, Pinellas, and neighboring counties for adoptions. We also take owner surrenders mainly to help keep them from entering shelters. We mostly help with older medium to small dogs at this time. We try to help owners keep their animals if it is a case of needing food or vet care. We also take in small breed puppies.
