Most of these are small but reputable community shelters and sanctuaries all over the USA that you may not know about. Some of these websites listed are Animal Welfare Agencies that list multiple shelters and sanctuaries for their states. Many go through Petfinder and other search engines. Take a look and see if you'd like to help some of these shelters or even just one. All these animals deserve a loving home and a second chance. Let's make a wish come true... 

What really happens at NYCACC First, some background…

To be destroyed TODAY

See all dog's in 'THE LIST'

New York Center for Animal Care and Control is a non-profit agency contracted by the City of New York to house and care for any abandoned, relinquished, or homeless animal within the five boroughs. They are not permitted to turn any animal away for lack of space. They are also contractually obligated to respond within 24 hours to complaints or “tips” regarding unleashed dogs, stray cats, and assorted wildlife---even though one of Julie Bank’s first responses to heartless budget cuts by the DOH was to stop having field officers pick up stray cats. Finally, they also shelter seized animals in cooperation with the police. All animals seized by eviction, arrest, or for health reasons (such as owners in the hospital or hoarding situations) come to Animal Care and Control of New York City.  Not the ASPCA.

Although AC&C is technically an independent contractor, and not a “city agency”, the truth of the matter is that funding for the organization comes out of the budget of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, usually referred to as the DOH. The Department of Health oversees AC&C and presents its contract under terms AC&C cannot refuse. Not surprisingly, they allocate a truly shameful budget to its redheaded stepchild. In fact, New York City has one of the most underfunded animal control agencies in the United States.  (for more information on how the NYC Gov't controls the AC&C, please read this:  http://www.shelterreform.org/WhyDOHShouldBeRemoved.html )

Bound Angels is dedicated to bringing attention to the shelter crisis and providing solutions.

There is a crisis in our country, in our world, and it is out of our sight so we pretend it doesn’t exist.  However, once we are aware of the situation, we can no longer turn our backs. People are convinced that shelters are just that, shelters.  They aren’t.  Those working on the front lines see the truth; loving pets that once lived in homes and slept on beds suddenly confined to steel cages with cement floors.

Their love is gone – their hearts are broken – their minds confused.

Our edgy, and sometimes controversial campaigns speak for the animals who do not have a voice of their own.  Working hand in hand with shelter employees, volunteers and rescue organizations gives us a unique insight into the solutions and their implementation.  We provide hands-on guidance in marketing shelter adoption programs as well as canine behavior training.  All of these programs are provided free of charge to animal rescue organizations and shelters.

About Us - German Shepherd Rescue Las Vegas, Inc.

We are a small group of GSD enthusiasts that have, since our inception in 2003, helped save thousands of German Shepherd Dogs in the Las Vegas Valley. 

• Typically we evaluate GSDs at the local shelters & are called upon to save them on their last day.

• We also help re-home dogs whose families find themselves in a situation where they must give up their dog. With the current foreclosure crisis, this problem is becoming critical!  Our intake has doubled since the beginning of the year because people are losing their homes.  If this is you, please read our Owner Surrender Policy.  If you have EVER considered helping to rescue by fostering a dog, now is the time!

• We specialize in finding loving forever homes for these German Shepherd Dogs.  Most adoptions are local but we are open to long distance adoptions, provided the adoptive family meets all other requirements, including vet and personal references.

We are all volunteers and each do what we can toward our rescue efforts.  Some of us provide temporary loving foster homes.  Some evaluate so we can match the right dog to the right adoptive family. Some of us use our experience to help brush up doggie manners before adoption.  Some help by transporting dogs.  And many of us do ALL those things. Our  biggest challenge is funding.  And of course, keeping up with the constant influx of dogs.  We need more foster homes and more financial support.

Dogs In Danger...

This site is all about the last chance to save a dogs life before they are euthanized in a shelter. It is very sad but very real, it actually shows you the number of days the dog has before it is put to sleep. It looks like there are few shelters that participate in this program when in actuality thousands of shelters are euthanizing tens of thousands of animals on a daily basis. I commend the founders of this site and admire their commitment to truly putting forth the maximum effort of saving dogs’ lives! So please, please forward this site to everyone you know! Please educate people on shelter adoptions vs. pet store purchases! You can be a voice for these poor dogs and animals, please help save them! Thanks so much for reading!

Ginger's "Death Row Dog" Rescue

Our Adoptable Pet List

Click here to see our Happy Tails!

WHO WE ARE:

Ginger specializes in saving "Death Row Dogs" scheduled to be euthanized
because shelters lack room and funding. These dogs are wonderful and they are
only put down because they have no owners to claim & adopt them in time.
These dogs are all waiting for that miraculous second chance in life that they so deserve.

Ginger also works hard on placing special needs dogs, dogs whose
owners have passed away or senior citizens having to move into
nursing homes & they must surrender their beloved pets.
People moving, having babies, allergy problems, puppy mill dogs,
abandoned and abused dogs, you name it and she works to cover
every possible area to help find forever homes for any kind of dog
in need no matter what the situation is.

DREAMS & WISHES INC.
No-Kill Animal Rescue

We are a small, non-profit, animal rescue, with our primary focus being the rescue of abused, neglected, and homeless cats and dogs. As our name dictates, we are  Dedicated to the Removal and Eradication of Animals Meaningless Suffering and Working to Insure Safe Homes for Every Stray.

Our Dreams:
*To provide sanctuary for abandoned and abused animals and to find them permanent loving homes *To further public education about neglected, abused, and homeless pets; To further public education on the importance of spay/neuter *To create awareness and support, within our community,  for the humane treatment of cats both domestic and feral; *To spay, neuter and vaccinate EVERY animal that comes into our program *Provide comfort to animals awaiting placement in permanent loving homes.

Our Wishes:

To some day build a sanctuary that will house hundreds of abused, abandoned, and homeless animals that would otherwise be killed in shelters or die alone on the streets. We DREAM big but our goal is to become the largest "No Kill" rescue in the state of Tennessee! We hope to have a building designed that would be the most modern, up to date animal care facility in the state.  We would like to branch out and include large animal rescue (horses, sheep, cows, etc); rabbit rescue, ferrett rescue, and specialize in so-called "dangerous" dog rescue (i.g., pit rescue, dobies, rotties, etc.)

Little Shelter.. Overlooked Dogs...       

Little Shelter recently began the long process that will establish a one hundred acre animal sanctuary in Upstate New York. This state-of-the-art facility will provide lifetime care for unwanted pets that, for medical or behavioral reasons, are more difficult to adopt into a regular home situation. Many of these dogs have been passed over for adoption or were adopted and returned for behavioral or medical reasons. These animals -- some as young as two years old -- cannot be expected to live out their lives in a shelter environment with limited space. At the sanctuary, our dogs will have more room, less stress, and will undergo continual training, socialization, and rehabilitation with the hope they will someday find an adoptive home. No kennels or cages will be used to house animals and a resident staff will provide 24-hour care.

3209 Dogs Saved out of death row.

Ginger’s Pet Rescue has found homes for more than 3,200 dogs. Many arrive with several health issues and are mid-age and older. In other words, not prime adoption candidates. “They don’t choose to be ignored, left outside alone all day, never groomed and fed poor quality food,” she adds. “Sure, we end up cleaning up someone else’s neglect but how can you say no to these innocent creatures?” Last month, Ginger’s Pet Rescue was focused on finding homes for several dozen dogs rescued from Southern California wildfires. These were animals that were left behind or simply ran during the wildfires, ending up in shelters or on the streets of a nearby community.  They sure could use the help !!!

United States Wolf Refuge Needs Some Help

Obviously, the many needs of the U.S. Wolf Refuge could be met easily and quickly by simply having the money to pay for them. However, we are well aware that most individuals and businesses today are looking at an uncertain financial future. The U.S. Wolf Refuge is no different. Our cash income is spread entirely too thin. Considering the financial prospects of today's economy, many people who wish to support organizations such as ours are choosing to contribute their time rather than draw on their financial resources.

In order to provide humane care for the magnificent animals now with us, and in the interest of those in our future, we are asking all of our friends to contribute as much as possible in time and/or financial support. Whatever efforts we make together will help us ensure the development of the best possible environment for these animals we love so much.

   Tennessee lacks resources to fight animal abuse

  

This is in Texas

Our Mission

S.A.F.E. House exists to rescue and rehabilitate abandoned, abused and unwanted dogs that might otherwise be euthanized due to illness, injury or overpopulation and place them in loving, permanent homes. We also exist to educate the public about spaying and neutering of animals, heart worm and flea prevention and behavioral issues regarding dogs and puppies. In doing so, we will cooperate with and support other animal rescue organizations and shelters.

12 Guiding Principles

These principles have been the guiding light and fundamental underpinning of NHES. 

1.To oppose cruelty in all its forms

2. To strive for an end to bullfighting, rodeo, and all cruel sports wherever performed and   wherever represented as art or as entertainment

3. To strive to abolish cruel trapping

4. To discourage hunting, especially as a sport

5. To oppose all poisoning of wildlife

6. To protect and conserve wildlife for its own sake and not as a resource for Man’s exploitation

7. To aid or initiate programs for slaughter reform

8. To teach humane handling and care of work animals and food animals

9. To advance programs for the humane sterilization of cats and dogs in order to reduce their overpopulation

10. To provide for the rescue, housing and feeding of lost, stray or abandoned animals, until suitable homes are found

11. To urge that when it is necessary to put any tame animal to death, unless some better method of euthanasia is available, it be so arranged that the animal be held in the arms of some human friend while it is being given a painless, preliminary anesthetic, to be stroked and comforted with reassuring words until it loses consciousness, after which the lethal agent should be quickly administered.

Who We Are

We take advantage of every opportunity and funding available to accomplish this part of our mission. Since the beginning of our organization in 2001 through 2009 we have facilitating the spaying or neutering of 3,588 pets.

Camp Cocker Rescue In Los Angeles. 

We have a "worry list" that can have up to sixty cockers on it. These are the dogs in immediate danger of being put to sleep.

What we do

Our primary mission is to rescue dogs from high kill shelters in the Los Angeles region. There are more than thirty high kill shelters that are within a 125 mile radius of Los Angeles County. The amount of dogs in shelters are overwhelming. On any given day there can be between two and seven cockers PER shelter! We have a "worry list" that can have up to sixty cockers on it. These are the dogs in immediate danger of being put to sleep.

We can't save them all, we can't even save ten percent of them. But instead of giving up, we are determined to save whom we can, one dog at a time. Because the shelter dogs are at most risk, we rarely accept owner relinquishment.

What We Do: Our Rescue & Transport Program focuses on saving cats and dogs from high-kill shelters in the Southeastern US and moving them to safe, no-kill rescues in the Northeast. All animals receive full medical care and are quarantined at a boarding facility or in foster care until they are healthy to travel. We use professional transporters to transfer the animals safely from the Southeast to the Northeast, where they have a much better opportunity for adoption. All veterinary, boarding, and transport costs are paid by SSP thanks to the generous donations of people like you! SSP also operates an innovative program called Puppy Promises that not only rescues puppies, but also spays their mother to help reduce pet overpopulation. Our Bernies Buddies program helps to treat heart worm positive dogs that are saved through our Rescue & Transport program. Our newest program is Spay & Neuter, which offers financial assistance to low-income pet owners in several Ohio and Georgia counties.

About Stevens-Swan Humane Society in New York

The Stevens-Swan Humane Society of Oneida County has a rich and diverse background. In the early 1900s it was the work of two separate men from Rome who started working in the area of animal welfare: Gustavus Swan and James N. Stevens. In 1910, Swan and Stevens, both involved in animal and child welfare, combined the two agencies and incorporated them to form the present day "Stevens-Swan Humane Society." The present day Stevens-Swan Humane Society evolved from a combination of efforts of hundreds of people before us. Taking care of animals that are surrendered, lost or unwanted is a large task, and the burden is overwhelming. It has not been an easy voyage. Throughout the years, trends in animal welfare have changed. With these changes come tremendous financial obligations.

This is where we need your help. Stevens-Swan Humane Society has always relied on contributions from the community in the form of bequests, estates, day-to-day donations, membership drives and annual fundraisers. Since the turn of the century it has always been a tradition to turn to the community for assistance to reach our mission goals. We rely on the generosity of people to help us to meet these demands.

                      In Portland Maine

Our mission is to provide temporary care and shelter for stray, abandoned and relinquished animals, and to place as many as possible into responsible and caring homes. The Animal Refuge League also works to create awareness and support for the humane treatment of all animals and to end animal overpopulation through education and the promotion of spaying and neutering. The Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland in Maine is a private nonprofit animal shelter established in 1911. The vast majority of our funding is made through the generosity of the general public.  The ARL is first and foremost an adoption agency. Every year, we take in more than 4,000 stray, abandoned or owner surrendered animals. Our goal is to care for them as humanely as possible until we can reunite them with their owners or until someone chooses to adopt them. Our adoption process is extremely thorough in order to ensure that our animals are placed into a loving home for life. If you'd like to adopt or help:  http://www.arlgp.org/about/

Welcome to Duchess Sanctuary in Oregon!

The Duchess Sanctuary—owned and operated by The Fund for Animals in partnership with The HSUS—is a 1,120-acre facility south of Eugene, Ore., that was established in 2008 as an oasis for about 200 formerly abused, abandoned, neglected and homeless horses.  The Duchess Sanctuary, located south of Eugene, Oregon, hosted its first open house on Saturday, October 2nd. Over 100 guests turned out for a behind-the-scenes tour of the ranch, which is home to nearly 200 previously abused and neglected horses.

Guests learned how the pharmaceutical industry used the horses for urine production, keeping them in dark, tiny stalls for six months a year, where they were unable to lay down or turn around. They also heard about the work The HSUS is doing to help the 35,000 wild horses on public lands today. “To be able to offer sanctuary to these horses who suffered so much before arriving here is a great honor,” Hopkins said. If you are interested in volunteering at Duchess Sanctuary, please e-mail JKunz@hsus.org.

Peta's Angel's For Animals...

About us In Ohio

There is an Angels' pet waiting
for you to come get it too...Angels for Animals was seeded as a dream in the minds of Polly Wardle and Diane Less Baird. It took root on top the backs of horses, a mutual love of the two co-founders. With the help of a lawyer, Angels then officially sprouted and was incorporated in 1990.

From the fertile thoughts of such a mission, education was chosen as the nurturing trunk from which all would branch off and bud. By educating the public and pet owners on responsible guardianship and the “importance” of spaying and neutering, these two women could change the perception of animals as property to companions and reduce the senseless number killed because of overpopulation.

Family Dogs New Life Shelter (No Kill Shelter) Portland Oregon ...

Our mission is to help prevent as many dogs from being euthanized as possible.

LIFESAVERS  WILD  HORSE  RESCUE

Dedicated to saving American mustangs and domestic horses from abuse, neglect & slaughter

Since 1997, Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue, a program of nonprofit organization, Lifesavers, Inc., has provided refuge, training and adoption placement for hundreds of horses in need. Our Lancaster, California, ranch is home to our rehabilitation and rescue operation, where our dedicated staff work with our rescued horses to provide them training, socialization and handling necessary to find them adoptive homes. For those horses who have difficulty adjusting to the human world, or who have suffered, our natural habitat sanctuary in Kern County, California provides a permanent home.

  Lifesavers specializes in the rescue of American Mustangs. Today's wild free-roaming horses are the descendants of the horses reintroduced to the North American continent by early explorers, and their ancestors. They were war horses, Indian ponies, cavalry remounts and ranch horses. The modern wild horse embodies the best traits of their forbearers, as well as the gifts given to them by nature: courage, strength, stamina, and heart. Lifesavers cares for over 200 rescued horses between our ranch and sanctuary facilities, and that number is ever-increasing. The sad reality is that there is no shortage of abused, abandoned, neglected and slaughter-bound horses in need of aid. Our mission is to help these horses not just by providing refuge and medical care, but by finding new lifetime homes for the horses, and fostering lifetime learning, understanding, and advocacy among horse lovers.

"Until you have held a tiny puppy in your arms as it kissed your face with slobbery puppy breath and felt the love;
Until you have held an injured or severely ill cat in your arms and felt his pain;
and until you have looked into the eyes of a tired aging senior pet and felt her wisdom,
You will never understand the life of a rescuer.
We find beauty in the most incomprehensible places and the otherwise homely faces.
It is our gift to see beyond the dirt, terror, sadness and defeat and find the true soul that lies within.
We are Rescue."
 

     In response to an epidemic of homeless and abandoned pets, the Humane Organization for the Protection and Education for Animals (HOPE for Animals) began several years ago in Thibodaux, Louisiana as a chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. 

     Since its inception, HOPE for Animals has worked to develop awareness and interest in both animal cruelty issues and overpopulation problems in Lafourche Parish.  The organization continues to promote these issues through the local print and broadcast media and through educational campaigns targeted at the Lafourche Parish youth.  HOPE for Animals hosts several events each year, all of which promote the humane treatment of animals.

Little Victories

"What are the animals asking for? A safe shelter and sanctuary and humans who will treat them with kindness and compassion.  Little Victories will actively search for homeless, injured, abused, and abandoned animals. We intend to work with other rescues and/or shelters to place the animal in the best environment for its long term medical and adoption needs. We will do this by adopting all animals into loving, permanent homes. For animals which are not adoptable, we hope to provide sanctuary—a lifetime home where they will be loved and safe.

Save A Dog was founded by husband and wife team, Shirley Moore and David Bernier, of Wayland, Mass. Save A Dog has grown over the years and now we have over 100 volunteers who help on an as-needed basis, and approximately 25-30 volunteers who help on a weekly basis. With over 8 million pets being euthanized annually, our goal is to save as many lives as we can with the limited resources that we have. One way to maximize the number of lives we can save at one time is to bring in groups of a dozen or so dogs at one time. In rural WV and TN, the plight of dogs is heart-breaking. Puppies are thrown in dumpsters, drowned, or left in a box in the woods to die. We work with several humane societies in the south who are overwhelmed with dogs. They foster the dogs for us prior to sending them up for adoption. The dogs we receive from rural humane societies all would otherwise have been put to sleep. We also take in local dogs who are in need on a regular basis.

Camp Cocker Rescue In Los Angeles. 

We have a "worry list" that can have up to sixty cockers on it. These are the dogs in immediate danger of being put to sleep.

What we do

Our primary mission is to rescue dogs from high kill shelters in the Los Angeles region. There are more than thirty high kill shelters that are within a 125 mile radius of Los Angeles County. The amount of dogs in shelters are overwhelming. On any given day there can be between two and seven cockers PER shelter! We have a "worry list" that can have up to sixty cockers on it. These are the dogs in immediate danger of being put to sleep.

We can't save them all, we can't even save ten percent of them. But instead of giving up, we are determined to save whom we can, one dog at a time. Because the shelter dogs are at most risk, we rarely accept owner relinquishment.

Shorty's Charities   Because Discrimination Bites

As Featured on Shorty's Pit Bull Rescue. "Pit bulls have a bad rap," says Shorty What makes Shorty's Charities unique? Is it not just another Pit Bull Rescue? Those of us who love the breed understand the passion behind wanting to fight for this underdog but what makes Shorty any different from the rest of us? His unique perspective on discrimination, stigma and stereotypes. Knowing full well what it’s like to be judged, his passion lead to the founding of Shorty's Charities with a goal of raising awareness about the most misunderstood dog – the pit bull.

Shorty's Charities is in the process of seeking IRS recognition as a charitable corporation (501c3 designation) but in the meantime will fund these efforts through the contributions of supporters, profits from Shortywood Productions and your generous gifts to Shorty's Rescue.

Creating a strong voice against stereotyping and stigma. We do not seek your pity and don't appreciate your prejudice. We are here to help one discrimination case at a time through education, enlightenment and to fight, if necessary, for the underdogs of the world. Shorty's Rescue does not operate as a 501c3, nonprofit rescue group, but we are not for profit. Shorty's Rescue is funded through Shortywood Productions. A portion of gifts given to Shorty's Rescue are donated to Linda Blair's WorldHeart Foundation . Shorty's Rescue does not have kennels or boarding facilities. All pit bulls that are rescued are either fostered to individuals or placed in rescue shelters such as Linda Blair's facility.

Black Cats or Dogs can be “Less Adoptable” Pets

Animal shelters and rescues can help black pets’ adoption chances by bringing awareness to your community of the plight of homeless black pets. Many animal lovers are probably not aware of the “black dog syndrome” or never thought about the superstitions concerning black cats. Organize black pet adoption events and activities in your community to help these wonderful pets find their forever homes using these ideas:

Set up a black pet foster program. Ask owners of black pets to help with this.

Set up a special section on your website periodically to feature black pets. Include several photos and videos if possible, as well as each pet’s story. See Increase Adoptions by Improving Your Website Adoption Pages. Find photography tips, fundraising ideas, adoption tips and more on the website Start Seeing Black Dogs. This website offers free marketing and PR resources to encourage black pets’ adoption. Provide extra training to black dogs. You can mention their new skills in their profile and make them more adoptable. Offer several free training sessions after the adoption. Host a community wide “adopt a black pet” weekend. Partner with other shelters and rescue groups and arrange to have adoptable black pets positioned in several locations around town., including parking lots of malls, big box retailers or grocery stores, farmers’ markets, flea markets, etc. Advertising and promoting this event as a group would reduce the costs for all. Ask local newspapers and TV stations for publicity prior to the event, including stories about black pets being overlooked for adoption, the higher euthanasia rate, etc.

Also see How Kids Can Increase Adoptions of Homeless Black Pets.

Heroes For Greyhounds

Posted: 13 Jan 2010 11:55 AM PST

 Christine Dorchak and Carey Theil, the leaders of the greyhound protection organization GREY2K USA, and we took stock of the state of dog racing in the country. Although greyhound racing emerged in the 1920s in America and peaked in popularity in the 1980s, it historically had not been a top priority for the animal protection movement, with the exception of a number of rescue groups working to adopt greyhounds discarded from the tracks. Carey and Christine put the issue on the public policy agenda, and have all but single handedly shaped the debate on dog racing over the past decade.

Denise McFadden/GREY2K USA
Greyhound racing is on the decline, and more than half the
tracks have closed over the past decade.

When they formed GREY2K USA in 2001, there were 47 active dog tracks in 15 states. Today, more than half of the operations have folded, and the number has shrunk to 22 tracks in seven states (with a 23rd track in an eighth state still in limbo). It’s a dying industry due to economic market forces and increased competition from other forms of gambling, but also because Americans have become more aware about the cruel and inhumane treatment of man’s best friend in commercial racing.  While at the racetrack, dogs are confined in small cages barely large enough for them to stand up or turn around for long hours each day. On average, more than one thousand dogs live in warehouse style kennels at each racetrack. And during the races themselves, thousands of dogs are seriously injured each year, suffering broken legs, cardiac arrest, spinal cord paralysis, and broken necks. Some states require reports to be produced on dog racing injuries so the extent of the problem can be monitored, but other states don’t keep any records at all and the dogs suffer in anonymity. In Massachusetts, which began keeping injury records in 2002, more than 800 dogs were seriously injured during races in just six years at two tracks, and more than 80% of the injuries were broken legs.

Add to that the extreme weather conditions, the dangerous methods of transportation, training dogs with live “bait” animals such as rabbits, the use of performance enhancing drugs, and the killing of dogs when they are no longer profitable, it’s an industry that has neglected animal welfare at every step from cradle to grave. Award-winning racing writer Bill Finley recently wrote on ESPN.com that the greyhound racing industry doomed itself by not doing “nearly enough to protect its competitors while racing and guarantee them safe, dignified retirements after their careers are over.” The high-profile deaths of Barbaro and Eight Belles sparked intense debate in the horse racing industry about breeding horses for speed rather than durability, racing horses when they’re too young before their bones have fully matured, using steroids and injurious track surfaces, and the absence of any national regulatory authority—and reasonable voices in the industry are pushing for real reform. 

My Local Marion County Oregon Dog Shelter and Cat Shelter Partners sure could use some help too right now.

What is Big Cat Rescue?

The sanctuary houses the most diverse population of exotic cats in the world, with 14 of the35 species of wild cat represented among more than 100 residents. These include tigers, lions, leopards, cougars, bobcats, lynx, ocelots, servals, caracals and others, many of whom are threatened, endangered,or now extinct in the wild. The sanctuary began in1992 when the Founder, Carole Baskin, and her then husband Don,mistakenly believing that bobcats made good pets, went looking to buy some kittens.  They inadvertently ended up at a “fur farm” and bought 56 kittens to keep them from being turned into fur coats.  See How We Started.  See History and Evolution.

Today the sanctuary is devoted to its Vision of a world where animals are treated with respect, and its Mission of providing the best possible home for the animals in our care and trying to stop the flow of animals needing sanctuary by educating the public about the plight of the animals and supporting stronger laws to protect them.  See Vision and Mission. The sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) not profit charity.  It receives no government support and relies on its educational activities, such as tours of the facility, and the generosity of donors for support of the cats. Donations are tax deductible.  Because non program expenses (i.e.administration and fund raising) are funded from tour income, 100% of donations go directly to support the cats. We hope you enjoy your visit to our web site.  We believe it is the most complete resource for information on big cats in the world.

We are proud  members of:
Goodsanctuaries do not breed, buy or sell their animals and they do notallow contact between potentially dangerous animals and the public. Big Cat Rescue meets or exceeds the Sanctuary Standards detailed at SanctuaryStandards.com We are partners with Capitol Advantage for better laws and FLA USA.
