Looking Glass Animal Rescue (“LGAR”) is a nonprofit volunteer-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing dogs from high-kill shelters, hoarding situations, puppy mills, animal fighting rings and more. While we welcome all animals in need, we specifically focus on animals that are often overlooked due to age, breed, special need, illness or injury and frequently requiring immediate, often costly medical attention that shelters are unable to provide. Without a rescue outlet, these animals would otherwise be euthanized due to their issues. LGAR looks past these issues, seeing these animals not for what they are today, but what they can become tomorrow – healthy, happy family members with tons of love to give.

Our mission is to rescue unwanted, abused and slaughter-bound horses from kill pens and auction houses where we are their last chance. We offer an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Program where we are committed to help humans and horses alike through the powerful effect of mutual healing. This is proven to affect positive change and healing in people touched by trauma, abuse, anxiety, and other challenges.

Promoting Animal Welfare on Superior's Shores Helping PAWS Pet Rescue, Inc. was founded for the sole purpose of helping to stop the suffering of companion animals caused by homelessness, overpopulation, and mistreatment. Our goal is that no adoptable companion animal ever be euthanized for lack of medical care and a good home. This goal is not limited to dogs and cats, but extends equally to horses, rabbits, birds and other domestic species. Our mission is to proactively aid homeless and unwanted animals by offering, not just a "humane" alternative, but to provide in each case the best possible process that would result in each individual pet finding its forever-home. Our mission is unique in that we include not only young, healthy homeless pets, but also owner surrenders and individuals with medical needs that would cause them to be rejected by or euthanized by other organizations. Helping PAWS Pet Rescue, Inc. believes that the means to accomplishing our mission should be two-fold: Serving animals and educating people. Serving Animals: Spaying and neutering all homeless pets in our care prior to adoption as well as offering low-cost spays and neuters to low income families is primary. Veterinary care is available to homeless pets, with procedures, medications, and special diets provided as needed. We arrange foster homes for pets awaiting placement and adoption services by application. Educating People: Equally important is education of the public in every way possible to keep their chosen pet happy, well, and in their home. Our presence at Country Care Pet Hospital promotes daily our philosophy of preventive maintenance, optimal nutrition, medical care and the importance of the human-animal bond. Helping PAWS participates in a great variety of local pet-related events and presentation opportunities, including visits to local schools, retail outlets and community groups.

Carolina P.A.W.S. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization comprised of a network of compassionate Carolinians, all of whom are volunteers. We are devoted to helping abandoned and abused cats and dogs throughout the greater Charlotte area find loving homes. CPAWS does not have a facility and relies entirely on volunteer foster parents to care for an animal until we are able to find a pet their forever home. Our founding members have been collectively involved in animal rescue for over 20 years. Carolina P.A.W.S. volunteers can be found "in the trenches," rescuing animals at high risk- those starving on the streets, languishing in shelters, and suffering in abusive situations. Each animal has a different past but our promise to them all is the same…a second chance. We provide them with medical attention, rehabilitate them physically and emotionally, and care for them in foster homes until they can be placed in loving permanent homes.

SRC is an all-volunteer 501c3 non-profit rescue organization with an average of 100 volunteers in all areas of assistance. This reputable organization has rescued over 4550 canines since our incorporation in June, 2003. Their primary purpose is help save homeless and endangered Schnauzers (Mini, Standard, or Giant plus other breeds of canines who are in desperate need of help) from abuse, neglect and/or euthanasia. Their policy is to assure each dog they rescue receives necessary medical care tailored to its needs from an SRC vet, and also be micro-chipped for its future protection. Once vetted, the rescue will spend a minimum of two weeks being evaluated in SRC's pre-qualified loving foster homes selected to assure that all its medical and emotional needs are met in preparation for adoption into a loving permanent approved applicant's home suitable to each one's specific needs. Each potential home is stringently investigated by vet references and home visits in order to assure it is well prepared to provide a stable environment for the remainder of the dog's lifetime.

Indiana Bulldog Rescue (IBR) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives and welfare of English, Olde English and French Bulldogs through rescue.

THEIR MISSION: Dogs Unlimited Rescue, Inc. is an all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)3 organization that is dedicated to educating the public and saving abused and neglected animals from an uncertain fate. Our organization rescues animals from high kill shelters, hoarding situations, abuse or neglect cases, owner surrenders, and the breeding parents in Ohio puppy mills that would otherwise be inhumanely disposed of. We improve their lives by providing quality care and placement into permanent loving homes. We will continue to educate, rescue, rehabilitate and encourage the adoption of pets from shelters and rescue groups. We do not maintain a physical shelter. All our rescues are in loving foster care. We differentiate ourselves by providing animals in our rescue with ONLY quality care and even though it may be costly, these animals deserve nothing less and that is why donations are so vitally important. Our vetting is very costly along the with other related expenses (rehabilitation, training, etc.) of the animals in our rescue.

Chicagoland Eskie Rescue, specializing in American Eskimo Dog Rescue & Re-Homing was established in January of 2008. The rescue is a recognized 501(c)(3)Non-Profit Organization that is made up entirely of volunteers who are dedicated to provide shelter, care, vetting and an adoption program for abandoned and relinquished American Eskimo Dogs. All of the dogs we foster are in private homes. Chicagoland Eskie Rescue does not have a shelter. Without foster homes we will not survive. Our adoptable Eskies come from many avenues. Some surrendered by owners, other from shelters across the United Sates. More frequently we are acquiring them from Puppy Mill Auctions or Puppy Mill closures. Through our foster program our Eskies are placed in temporary homes where their personality, temperament and levels of training are evaluated. We match our adoptable American Eskimo Dogs with applications that come into the rescue. Applicants are carefully screened and a home visit is done. We want for this to be the Eskie's forever home. If for some reason it does not work out the dog must be returned to our rescue. All American Eskimo Dogs are fully vetted, micro-chipped and are on Heartworm and Flea/Tick Preventatives. They come with a new collar, leash and ID Tag to their new home.
