Found a lost animal? Need to rehome a personal pet?

We are experiencing an animal crisis with an overflow of animals and not enough homes which results in 100s - 1000s of animals dying each month across the south. There are many resources to help if you are needing financial assistance with vet bills, food, etc. If you find yourself in a situation that you absolutely need to re-home your pet, please understand that all of our shelters and rescues are completely full and owner surrenders are on a waiting list and can be many weeks to months before you are able to get a spot. Below are a list of shelters and rescues in the area that may be able to help in rehoming.

If you found an animal that is not yours, please consider fostering that animal through your local shelter or rescue. Most provide anything and everything you could ever need, they just ask for you to provide a temporary home with love.
