Rescue Contacts

Rescue groups are a good source of information if you need to re-home a pet, or if you are looking for a new member of your family.  Keep in mind that rescues may have a waiting list to get an animal into their program, or may have certain criteria for accepting animals.  It's best to contact a rescue well in advance of needing to place your pet.  

Below is a list of rescues, any criteria for accepting animals into their program, and how to contact them. While we do our best to keep this information up to date, we might not catch changes all of the time.  Please contact us if any of the information is out of date, or the rescue is no longer active.
