Overview

Mission

Through community awareness and education we hope to promote humane and responsible pet ownership the importance of spaying and neutering animals and the proper care and treatment of animals.

What it reported doing in 2025

During the year 2025 we received approximately 240 cats dogs and rabbits. Of these 175 were adopted into homes. 45 are available for adoption. Our program allows us to rescue animals from shelters in the greater Memphis area which covers Memphis north Mississippi and Arkansas. Once the animal comes into our program it receives complete vetting which includes all vaccinations spaying or neutering. We also provide any necessary vet care needed in order to make the animal healthy. This includes heartworm treatments amputations and specialized testing and treatments. We often take pets from shelters which require costly vet care before they can be made available for adoption.
