Animalsave

In response to an unacceptable euthanasia rate at local shelters, AnimalSave's Foster/Adoption program was established in 1999. Since that time over 6,000 dogs and cats have been rescued. In 2024, 177 animals were rescued, put in foster homes where they received necessary veterinary care and rehabilitation, and then adopted into permanent homes. The Foster/Adoption Program is managed by one staff person and many volunteers including fosters, volunteers who clean and care for cats and kittens in the Cat Adoption Room, adoption counselors, volunteers who socialize cats and kittens, receptionists and others. Revenues are derived from adoption fees and donated funds from individuals and foundations. Expenses include food, medical, staff and other costs of operating this program.

Humane Education Program. By visiting schools, speaking at clubs, facilitating workshops and providing guidance and information about responsible pet guardianship, AnimalSave educates the community on animal welfare issues and the programs we offer to improve the lives of animals.
