RAISING AWARENESS FOR ANIMAL RESCUE

 

Because my inspirational video From Service dog to SURFice dog went viral on YouTube with more than 3.2 million views, I wanted to use my new found prominence to help others.  So, I created this page to help rescues.  This page is meant as a resource for dog rescues, and people interested in dog rescue organizations.  For more information on each group, please click the links below.  If you would like your site added, please send me an email with the following...

Although I don't do rescue myself, I started a Facebook page called "Ricochet's Animal Rescue & Resource Page" for rescues to use as a resource, so please join that page to post your info, and network with others.  Every Wednesday, I do a shout out on my original Facebook page page of 22,200+ fans to raise awareness of the organizations listed here, in an effort to get my fans to repost to their pages to raise even more awareness.  If you haven't joined my page(s) yet, please do.  Scroll down to see the rescues who need our help raising awareness.  Thanks for your support and ultimately saving animal lives.

 

*SOS* OHIO SENATE IS KILLING THIS BILL - IT RUNS OUT DEC. 31, 2010 - IF IT DOESN'T GET TO THE SENATE THEN NOTHING CHANGES FOR THE ANIMALS OF THIS GODFORSAKEN STATE OF OHIO! Please contact Chairman Tim Grendell Phone: (614) 644-7718 Email: SD18@senate.state.oh.us of the Senate Judiciary Criminal Justice Committee. Chairman Grendell holds the key to NITRO'S LAW. Nitro's Law HB70 passed the House of Representatives Feb. 2010 and was sent to the Senate for consideration. The bill has been sitting there since then.

On October 22, 2008 an elite dog training & boarding facility 'High Caliber K-9' in Youngstown, Ohio was raided. Steve Croley owner & trainer of High Caliber was arrested, charged, convicted on just a misdemeanor infraction for starving 19 dogs, 8 of which died. NITRO'S LAW is a legacy and testament in honor of a family's Rottweiler that was starved to death at this man's hands. Ohio House Bill 70 "NITRO'S LAW passed the house but has been shelved in the Senate since then with time now running out.

 

THE PATRICK MIRACLE
Website:
http://patrickatgsvs.shutterfly.com/ and http://www.gsvs.org/news/patrick.asp
Facebook: http://www.gsvs.org/news/patrick.asp
About/Mission: Patrick
was thrown down the garbage chute of a 22 story apartment building. He was starved and near death. A maintenance worker was cleaning the contents of the container that goes to a trash compacter. The bag moved a little and the worker opened it to find a moribund dog inside -- pathetically thin, cold and near death.  The City of Newark Animal Control was contacted and ACO Arthur Skinner picked up the dog and brought him directly to the Society. The veterinary staff immediately put him on intravenous fluid. His temperature was so low that it did not even register on the thermomenter. After a brief time at the Society's Newark facility, he was ambulanced to Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls -- a referral hospital with 24 hour emergency care. If he died during that night, we feel he would know that everyone loved and cared about him and treated him gently and lovingly. He amazed everyone at the Society and at Garden State by surviving with the 24 hour emergency care that they rendered. He was given a blood transfusion, a bath -- and even a walk! In honor of the first day of his re-birth, we call him Patrick -- in honor of St. Patrick's Day and we hope he has the luck of the Irish!

About/Mission:
To rescue the lives of death row animals in high kill shelters and place them in qualified loving forever homes. We believe firmly that every animals’ life matters, and that we need to do right by the animals that others have forgotten. While we will pull any death row animal that we are able to, we have an emphasis on working with gassing shelters that other rescues do not pull from. We do our best to rescue pit bulls, seniors, abuse cases, neonate puppies and kittens, special needs animals and other cases that, while just as deserving, don't find placement as easily and often need special care.

Breed: mutt
About/Mission:
My name is Bow, I'm a 1 year old mutt from New Zealand. Here in NZ there is a charity called adopt-a-dog hawkes bay. These guys go to our local pound and rescue lovely natured dogs and place them into foster homes. These dogs are cared for, any health problems are treated, and they are desexed and vaccinated. The fosterers look after these beautiful dogs until forever homes are found. Sadly the pound will only keep a dog for a short time, after which if it is not claimed, it is euthanised. Adopt-a-dog is saving the lives of these lucky dogs!

I'm raising money for adopt-a-dog by creating paintings with my big feet. My brother Tala helps me sometimes too. My brother and I were both rescue puppies, so we know about being sad and alone, and just want to give a little back. Come and see my page - check out our previous works. We have an auction up every week at www.trademe.co.nz, but we also do personalised paintings for anyone that wants certain colours. Thanks for your support! Woof woof!


CAMP COCKER
Website: www.campcocker.com
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/campcocker
Breed: Cocker Spaniel
About/Mission: 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 relinquishments.

If you have a cocker spaniel that you are trying to relinquish, we may only be able to consider taking in your dog if you can make a donation towards their boarding and medical expenses. Please know that by accepting your dog, it will mean that the life of a shelter dog is not going to be saved.

Our rehoming process is rather selective as our aim is not just to adopt the dogs out as quickly as possible, but rather to adopt the dogs out to the home that is most right for that specific dog. A home that is most likely to be able to make a life long commitment to that dog (that could be up to a fifteen year commitment). Our adoption process is quite lengthy, however it helps to screen out the adopters whom perhaps may be looking for a dog on an impulse and have not quite planned to make such a long term commitment. Those adopters whom are ready, are committed and have thought it all through carefully, those are the ones that end up filling out an adoption application and moving forward with adopting a dog from Camp Cocker.

About/Mission:
Coastal German Shepherd Rescue of Southern California is a non-profit 501(c)3 public charity dedicated to finding loving homes for abandoned German Shepherds. Your tax deductible donations go to support these very deserving animals. Coastal was formed to serve communities in the counties of San Diego, Orange, Los Angeles and the Inland Empire.

We are committed to finding loving permanent homes for the Orphaned dogs in our care. Coastal is an all volunteer, no-kill, non profit organization.

Our mission is to educate the public about German Shepherds, their lifespan, personality, activity level, along with overall responsible dog ownership. We also raise awareness of over population of animals through education, training, spaying and neutering. We work very hard to match each dog with the adoptive families.

All prospective adoptive families must complete an on line application followed by a telephone interview and then receive a home visit before a German Shepherd is placed in their forever home.

Currently, Full Moon Farm is home to 83 wolfdogs of all mixes and contents. Full Moon Farm is an organization dedicated to the well being of the wolfdog (wolf hybrid). Situated on 17 beautiful mountain acres in Black Mountain, NC, we operate as a federally recognized 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization for abused and refused wolfdogs who find themselves in need of love, shelter, and care through no fault of their own.  Full Moon Farm provides a safe haven for animals that cannot be placed into homes for the rest of their lives.  Our rescued wolfdogs come from animal control agencies, closed breeding situations and occasionally, an owner in crisis. We evaluate each animal upon intake and work with them at their level of comfort. Some animals are "hands off" and we respect their choice, as well as that of the animals that crave human interaction. Our goal is to enrich the lives of the residents, allowing them to reach their highest potential. Your support by donation or sponsorship makes our task possible.  Though they may be abused or neglected, homeless because of death or divorce, they are all God's creatures and worthy of a lifetime of respect. We are here to serve them.  For further information, contact Nancy Brown: Full Moon Farm, PO Box 1374, Black Mountain, NC 28711, 828-664-9818

As a result, many wonderful dogs are denied the ability to live out their lives with dignity, surrounded by love. The Old Dog House aims to enlighten the public to the joys of owning an older or senior dog through educational programs and to place rescued dogs into true forever homes through adoption programs. The dogs that come into the care of The Old Dog House will remain in our care until adopted. We rely solely on donations from the public to support our organization. 100% of donations received are used for the care and rehabilitation of the dogs at The Old Dog House.

We are a registered, 501c3 non-profit organization.  We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs and cats.  Our Goal is to work with the communities of California, shelters, veterinarians and animal rescue groups to save the lives of dogs and cats at risk of euthanasia due to overpopulation through education, spay/neuter and rescue programs. In this effort, we provide a no-kill, veterinary supervised temporary sanctuary for these pets while we work to locate an adopting family. Additionally, The Pet Rescue Center allocates financial grants, to provide critical or lifesaving treatments for pets with special needs to our rescues and to the public

About/Mission: The UberDog Foundation (UDF) seeks to assist companion animals in two major areas:
 
1.  Shelter & Emergency Medical Assistance.
This program asissts rural shelters with supplies and donations and through The Phoenix Fund, helps rescue groups handle medical bills for animals that have suffered extreme abuse or neglect.   

Many rural shelters are too small to accommodate the growing number of animals entering their facilities each year.  Most of these shelters lack proper protection from the elements, utilizing outdoor runs and buildings without heating and/or air.  UDF seeks to assist these shelters through food/supply drives as well as monetary donations.  

The Phoenix Fund is named for a courageous pup that was brought to a small shelter with severe mange, eye, ear and skin infections.  This fund supplies grants to rescue groups to provide emergency medical care for dogs with medical issues caused by abuse or neglect. 

2.  Military Mutts - the goal of the Military Mutts program is to provide assistance to deploying military personnel in caring for their pets while deployed (through transport to a family member, fostering or re-homing); provide food and supplies to military pet owners facing financial difficulties; and placing companion animals with military families.
