Hero Dog Rescue is a Georgia-based not for profit organization dedicated to saving abandoned, abused and neglected dogs from high kill shelters. We believe that no animal should die without knowing a loving home. To that end, through our 100% volunteer operated organization, we work with dogs of all breeds and ages and place them in loving foster homes. While in our care, all dogs receive comprehensive medical and behavioral attention so they are ready to find their forever homes. Our organization is operated solely on donations from our compassionate supporters and requested in an ethical, honest, and transparent manner

Animal Rescue

The organization's mission is to provide for the foster care, adoption and placement of rescued cats and kittens into permanent homes, to care for homeless cats, to educate the public on the need to spay and neuter pets, to prevent cruelty to animals

Their Mission: Operation Paws for Homes rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized. Most of our dogs come from rural shelters in South and North Carolina, as well as Virginia. We also partner with local shelters as needed. Our organization provides pet adoption services to families located in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania and neighboring states. OPH does not operate a shelter or have a physical location. We rely on foster families who open their homes to give love and attention to each dog before finding a forever home. Through the foster care program, we are able to learn about each dog and their needs and we provide their potential and future adopters with this information. We believe in responsible adoptions and strive to work with each adopter to find a good match for their home and lifestyle. We are fortunate to have over 200 active volunteers who help OPH find forever homes for over 1,000 dogs a year, to carry out education and outreach events throughout the DMW, and conduct donation drives for our partner shelters in the south. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded. We receive no funding from federal, state, or county governments. As a result, we rely on the generous donations from our supporters and the adoption fees for each dog in order to save the dogs in need that join our rescue organization. Our goal is to fulfill the dreams of dogs who find themselves abandoned in shelters. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own. We work hard to unite them with forever families who will give them the life and love they deserve. Without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers, we would be unable to fulfill this dream.

Founded in April 2001, Lhasa Happy Homes Rescue, Inc., is a private, non-profit, 501(c)3 rescue and foster-care organization located in Santa Monica, CA. We specialize in Lhasa Apso, Shih Tzu and Maltese, but also rescue other small, mixed breed, “hairy” beasts under 20 lbs! Since our inception, we have saved the lives of over 3,000 dogs. We rescue the sick, broken, displaced, and most at-risk pups who otherwise would join the 15,000 pups in Los Angeles City/Los Angeles County who never make it out of the shelters. Our ongoing mission is to match families with their ideal pets and give these special pups a second chance at a great new life.
