About
Max’s Hope Pet Rescue is based out of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. We are a registered non-profit and 501c3. All donations are tax-deductible. Our goal is to help pets and their owners who are unable to maintain their care. We are aimed at the soldiers who are forced to relinquish their pets due to deployment or relocation and to the families affected by today’s economy that can no longer financially care for their pets. We will also help those animals who otherwise would face euthanization or death if left on their own.
We would like to find as many loving homes for as many deserving animals as possible! Any and all donations and adoption fees go straight into our veterinary fund to help provide care for our animals’ needs, so you can be sure that your money will be used to support a worthy cause!

About
Barktown Rescue was founded in 2009. Seeing a need in their community, two volunteers first got their start working with Nelson County Animal Control to send dogs to rescues all over the country. Even with their best efforts, hundreds of adoptable dogs were being euthanized every year in Nelson County. The two realized the most effective way to make a difference in their community was to start their own rescue, and from there Barktown Rescue was founded in August 2009.
Since then, Barktown Rescue has grown from two volunteers to a network of more than 80 fosters and volunteers. Barktown marked a special milestone in May 2019 when the 3500th Barktown dog was adopted!
All of our dogs are showered with love while they wait for the right adoptive family to come along. Barktown Rescue receives no city, state, or federal funding. We are responsible for earning or raising 100 percent of our annual operating budget.

About
Here at Tier Haven our hearts belong to the working dog breeds of Kentucky – German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois being our most common companions. The Tier Haven family is comprised of volunteers, adopters, and donors who have a passion for these working breeds and all of their quirks. We are brought together by the dogs that steal our hearts while chewing the shoe collection.
Tier Haven Rescue, Inc was originally incorporated in 1996 under the name ARK Project, Inc and is a long standing member of the animal rescue community in Kentucky. Originally an all-breed rescue Tier Haven shifted to focus on working dogs with the rise of breed specific legislation which was leading to larger numbers of German Shepherds, and other working dogs, being euthanized. We are rooted in Kentucky with a strong passion for enacting change within the state which has ranked last in animal welfare for many years – even if change is one dog at a time. Even as breed specific legislation has dwindled there are still large numbers of working dogs finding themselves at risk of euthanasia due to a lack of breed knowledge and/or training. The Tier Haven Family is committed to giving these dogs a second chance and we are all honored to be part of their paths to a better life.

About
Stray Animal Adoption Program (SAAP) is an all- volunteer, non-profit organization that exists to rescue, protect, and provide care for at risk pets. We promote lifelong adoptions while focusing on spay/neuter and the education of animal welfare.
We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non profit organization. We are dedicated to the rescue of animals that are in need of a forever home. Our animals are fostered in homes where we provide love, food, medical care and socialization until adoption into a new loving home. We educate on the importance of spaying and neutering of all pets.
We ensure all animals have been spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They are microchipped, up to date on shots and on heartworm and anti-flea medications (as age appropriate). They are ready and waiting to start their new life with their fur-ever family. Could that be you?
We need your help to continue our mission. We rely solely on donations and fundraisers. All donations are tax-deductible and 100% of your donation will go towards the rescue, care, and medical needs of the animals.
