| Founded in 2000, we are a St. Louis based organization whose primary concern lies with the overpopulation and unnecessary suffering of domestic animals in our community. We are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, socialization and placement of homeless, abandoned and/or abused/neglected cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies. At our West County shelter, we provide a safe, secure, and healthy environment to pets waiting for loving and caring adoptive homes. In addition, we are committed to promoting better care and understanding of animals through education with an emphasis on the importance of spaying and neutering. Country Acres Rescue does not euthanize unless a serious medical or behavioral problem exists. Country Acres Rescue receives no government funding. We are entirely dependent on adoption fees and charitable donations from people like you. |
| Forest Ridge Rescue House is an all breed purebred rescue which was established in 1987 while I was working as a Vet Tech and then an Asst. Groomer. Our rescue, which is located in Southwest Missouri, has the largest concentration of commercial kennels in the United States and almost all of our rescue dogs come from this background, although, we do have the occasional owner turn in or a dog that has been confiscated by or surrendered to authorities. I am now a stay at home Mom and our rescue usually has around 20 dogs but sometimes we have more or less depending on the time of year and how many are waiting to come in. We assist specific breed rescue groups and other all breed rescues whenever we can. This rescue has been licensed by the Missouri Dept of Agriculture for over 7 years and is also USDA licensed as a private transporter. |
| Gateway Pet Guardians is dedicated to rescuing homeless pets in the St. Louis area, getting them great veterinary care, and finding them forever homes. We are a virtual shelter with all of our pets waiting for adoption in the care of volunteer foster families. Donations are always greatly appreciated and are used to provide veterinary care for our foster pets, some of whom have been badly injured by automobile accidents, cruelty, neglect, or life on the street. |
| Pet Angels is a group of volunteers who love dogs and spend our spare time and personal dollars helping dogs in need. Some help by fostering, some by posting dogs in need and homeless dogs for other shelters, some by looking for "match" dogs for people looking for a specific description dog, and some help by picking up shelter dogs and transporting them to new homes. None get reimbursed for their services, but the happy wag of a tail is reward enough when a dog finally makes it from that scared little orphaned dog into a happy home of it's own. |
| Angel Acres Animal Rescue is a certified 501(c)3 nonprofit organization located in the west county area. We are dedicated to the rescue of homeless and unwanted animals and strive to place them in suitable, loving homes. We believe that pets are an important part of the family and should be treated with kindness, love and respect. We are a small, home-based operation and as such we are personally involved with every animal we have available. They are treated as members of our family until a "forever home" is found and we expect to stay in touch and build lasting friendships with all our adopters in the years to come. Because of our personal commitment to all the animals, we prefer to not adopt outside the St. Louis area unless under very special circumstances. |
