Membership
The Pet Rescue & Resource Center provides innovative care and adoption services for all animals, including those that are harder to place. We educate, advocate, and adopt out pets, while acting as a voice for animals, who depend on us for their care. We nurture the human-animal bond through community outreach and progressive programming, to help ensure the compassionate treatment of all animals.
Touching Lives One Animal at a Time
Not every animal that comes to the Pet Rescue & Resource Center is immediately adoptable, due to health, behavioral issues or other circumstances beyond their control. Most of our animals need medical or training assistance to become readily adoptable. We teach new pet owners and youth animal advocates about all aspects of animal welfare. Seniors, children, teens, and anyone in need can benefit from animal interactions through our Pet Therapy work. Providing these services makes it possible for animals to be adopted into loving homes or for animals with loving homes to enhance the well-being of those they meet. We believe that the cost of touching a life (through medical, behavioral, educational, therapeutic methods) is well worth it.
