Our mission is to provide immediate safety and care to stray, abused and abandoned animals. Once we are assured animals are medically sound, we place them in a secure, temporary, no-kill environment. This immediate placement provides all the love and comfort necessary for their well being and allows us to get to know them. Then, we look for "forever" homes that are committed to their health and happiness for the duration of their lives. When we match an animal with a caring person or family, Buddy is truly fulfilling our purpose of lighting the way home

Our mission is the study and conservation of birds and their habitats around the Gulf of Mexico. With its central position between the Americas, the Gulf of Mexico is a natural obstacle faced by millions of migratory birds that must either cross or go around it each spring and fall as they travel between their breeding and wintering grounds. The habitats surrounding the Gulf are used by over 800 bird species. About 300 of those species are nearctic-neotropical migrants that rely on these habitats for their survival in order to rest and refuel enroute. The Gulf of Mexico region contains the Hemisphere's most important "stopover" habitat, but much of it is threatened by urbanization, destructive tourism development, and other land conversion activities. The Gulf region is shared among three countries-the United States, Mexico, and Cuba-and eleven U.S. and Mexican states. The Gulf Coast Bird Observatory (GCBO) has established a Site Partner Network to assist the conservation work of organizations and sites throughout this region. This network of sites currently includes 67 partners throughout this area responsible for over 9 million acres of coastal habitat. Fifteen of these partner sites protect Gulf coastal habitat outside the United States-seven in the Yucatan Peninsula, seven in the Mexican provinces of Veracruz and Tamaulipas, and one in western Cuba. By being part of this Site Partner Network, the conservation partners around the Gulf of Mexico benefit from information exchange, fundraising assistance, publicity, etc

Wolfwood is dedicated to protecting the welfare of wolves and wolfdogs, and promoting an understanding of these animals in the hope of dispelling fear and opening the way for a healthy relationship between humans and wolves. We address these goals on a multitude of levels: Wolfwood provides a safe refuge for unwanted and homeless wolfdogs. All animals are contained in large enclosed areas. No animal is ever chained. All efforts are made to provide the best physical, mental, social and psychological environment for each animal. Each wolfdog is considered and treated as an individual with unique needs and qualities. Wolfwood provides extensive information and education on wolf and wolfdog behavior and issues surrounding them. Seminars and educational programs are presented to schools, state parks, the general public, other animal care facilities and various institutions. We also provide information and instruction to current or potential owners of these animals and the human behavior required when dealing with them. Wolfwood's mission is to dispel myth and misinformation, judgment and prejudice, cruelty and inhumane treatment.

Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California’s Mission is rescue of Basset Hounds at risk of euthanasia or homelessness. Our organization rescued it’s first Basset in August of 1996. We received our non-profit status in January of 1998. As an all volunteer organization, funds raised are due to the herculean efforts of the BHRSC volunteer network. Over 95% of the funding generously donated to BHRSC is used for providing health care or boarding of homeless hounds. BHRSC is a virtual organization with no offices or facilities. The cost of rescuing and re-homing a hound. The intake of homeless and abandoned hounds has dramatically escalated as the economy has faltered. Most hounds are rescued from euthanizing shelters. BHRSC also accepts dogs surrendered by their owners. Dogs which for a variety of reasons, are no longer able to be cared for by their families. All dogs are seen by a vet on intake for a health status check. All vets routinely providing care to BHRSC hounds offer highly discounted services. Our rescue efforts include required medical care and housing of hounds while awaiting placement with permanent adoptive families.BHRSC Rescue profile. Our typical rescue profile is an older hound, usually a senior, in need of basic medical care, including vaccinations and a routine vet check to determine health issues. All too often, dental care is required due to years of limited or no dental care. BHRSC also rescues hounds with acute medical needs that are surrendered by their families or placed in shelters due to the cost of the hound’s health care. Once the hound’s immediate medical need is met, any needed vaccinations and basic care or surgery is provided by veterinarians. Once the hound is deemed healthy, the hound’s photos, a video and their profile are posted on BHRSC’s web site indicating they are available for adoption. When feasible, a dog is placed in a foster home while waiting for permanent placement. Our foster network, while growing, is unable to keep pace with the demand of homeless dogs, forcing hounds into boarding facilities. Boarding facilities, although discounted to BHRSC, are costly. They are safe but not an optimal environment for a dog that has just experienced the stress of losing their home, their family and in a number of cases suffered an injury or an illness and attempting to recuperate. Occasionally BHRSC takes ownership of a dog that is terminally ill or determined by a vet to have a very poor prognosis. If the difficult decision of euthanizing the dog is made, BHRSC covers the costs and makes every attempt to provide the hound with a special last meal. A hamburger or chicken dinner has been the last meal had by a terminally ill hound lovingly provided by a BHRSC volunteer. The volunteer also makes every attempt to stay with the hound until the dog departs this life.
