We are a small group of like minded individuals, trying to rescue as many animals as possible from neglect, abuse and the illegal trade in China.

Space for Giants protects Africa’s elephants from immediate threats like poaching while working to secure their habitats forever in landscapes facing greatly-increasing pressures. We use innovative, proven interventions to confront acute issues like the ivory trade and long-term challenges such as balancing the needs of wildlife and growing human populations. We seek solutions rooted in the wisdom of people who understand wildlife best, because they study it, or live alongside it, or both. And we understand long-term success depends on creating economic and social benefits for the people who share their environment with wildlife. Everywhere we work, in Kenya, Gabon, Uganda, and Botswana, we use science and best-practice to develop and deliver anti-poaching initiatives, secure protected landscapes for elephants, work to lessen the problems that arise where people and elephants live alongside each other, and provide conservation training and education. Space for Giants initiatives include the Giants Club, an international forum of political leaders, conservationists, and philanthropists united to protect half of Africa’s elephants by 2020, and Journeys for Giants, tailoring extraordinary adventures for supporters to experience our work on the ground. We connect to a very broad spectrum of people and organisations across the world to explain what we do, why it works, and to ask and lobby for their support. Together, we can help bring about the kinds of changes to international policy that we know will help most in protecting Africa’s elephants. We are a registered charity in the UK and registered non-profit in the USA, and are headquartered in Kenya.

Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue is a haven for Border Collies that have been abandoned or stray. Many of these dogs are turned over to shelters through no fault of their own - because their previous owners found themselves unable to handle the challenges border collies offer or because changes in their lives left them unable to properly care for their dogs. Knowing this breed allows MABCR to rescue these dogs from an uncertain future and place them into caring, responsible homes. MABCR knows each of their dogs intimately and what each requires to be properly placed into a new home. Assessment of each dog can determine if they should be placed as a pet only or an actual working dog home, involved in herding, goose removal, agility or obedience.

Here at TAP, we give voice to the voiceless and our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find them the best homes possible. The Animal Pad was founded in 2010 because we saw a dire need for action in our local shelter systems. Millions of dogs are put to sleep every year in shelters across America and we need to change that. We hope that TAP can put a dent in those numbers and help to greatly reduce the amount of dogs that are euthanized every day by educating the public on the importance of spay/neutering their pets, adopting vs. buying.and treating dogs with the love and respect they so deserve. Here at TAP, we give voice to the voiceless and our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate and find them the best homes possible.

Farm animals have the same emotional capacity as traditional companions like dogs and cats, yet modern cruelty laws do not apply to them. Under the law, they are seen as mere objects for human use. At Ching Farm, we fill a need in the Salt Lake area by advocating for farm animals through rescue,education, and adoption/placement services. We believe that our advocate work can help change perceptions of farm animals and create a deeper respect for the rich emotional lives of these animals. Ching Farm Rescue and Sanctuary was founded by Faith and Mike Ching in Utah in 1998. The farm became incorporated as Ching Farm Rescue as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and your donations are tax-deductible.

Our mission is to help the animals that we can, knowing that every single one that we save makes a difference. Volunteers work to care for, socialize, protect, medicate, and above all, love these deserving animals. We are always in desperate need of foster homes for cats and dogs. The more temporary housing we can provide, the more lives we can save.

We are an all-volunteer, foster home based, dachshund dog rescue organization based in Central Florida, although we do work in other states as fosters become available. We do not have a physical shelter. Instead, we operate primarily through our foster homes, online databases such as Facebook and other social media, and at adoption events/expos.

The Clumsy Calico Cat Cafe provides a unique environment for cats and humans to interact and encourages happiness. In a natural, cage-free setting, the cats can thrive by being themselves and socialize with people and other cats in a comfortable, stress-free way. People can enjoy snacks and beverages, in the company of cats, allowing for education about cats, and their behaviors, which helps promote adoptions.

Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions saves homeless domestic (unreleasable) pigeons and doves in seven counties of the San Francisco Bay Area from being killed in animal shelters by providing veterinary care, foster, forever homes as well as community outreach and humane education to address the hidden-in-plain-sight plight of these smart, loyal and under-served birds. Palomacy fills a deadly gap in the animal welfare community by saving the lives of doves and pigeons that would otherwise be killed for lack of adopters. We're volunteer-powered, donation supported and culture changing! We are increasing compassion and reducing cruelty. By providing avian vet care, foster and forever homes, we've saved more than 600 birds' lives since 2007. Join us! www.PigeonRescue.org
