About
Hearts 4 Paws is a non-profit organization run by volunteers whose shared goal is to rescue, provide sanctuary, and ultimately to re-home abandoned, stray, and neglected animals. We never discriminate on the basis of health, age, or breed. By involving and educating the community, we work to raise the public’s awareness of the plight of homeless animals as well as realizing the benefits of adopting an animal in need. Our animals are examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and receive any and all medical treatment before they are placed in carefully screened homes. Hearts 4 Paws is a 501(c) nonprofit organization.

About
Second Chance Chi Rescue and Pledging Club is a collaborative effort created by animal lovers who recognize that the highest percentage of dogs killed in shelters are Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes.
With love and hope for change, we join together to SAVE LIVES…one life at a time.
We run our own rescue as well as a pledge club that works in conjunction with rescue groups who pull dogs from high kill shelters and shelter dogs who also are in need of medical attention.
Our club members make pledges and 100% of the funds raised are donated to rescues to pay for vetting and rescue of dogs in hi kill shelters. The lives we help to save go on to find forever homes and live the lives they so deserve to live.
We feel it is our responsibility to protect and improve the lives of abandoned, abused, homeless unhealthy and needy dogs in hi-kill shelters by rescuing, vetting and finding them great loving forever homes.
(Our mission is dedicated to)
1. Holding fundraisers and pledging for rescue and vetting of dogs in hi-kill shelters across the united states promoting their rescue and to fund the rescues activities.
2. Educating the general public and all others on the Chihuahua and other breeds.
3. Rescue and re-home Chihuahuas and other dogs that have been abandoned, neglected, abused and/or surrendered to kill shelters in the country, community, and surrounding area.
4. Ensure all our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered micro chipped and vetted for health before leaving to their forever home. Encourage pet owners to spay/neuter their dogs.
5. Rescued dogs will stay in an approved foster home or with us until we find a forever home that is a good match for the dog. Each prospective adoption applicant will be interviewed by at least two volunteers and all references checked and home visits done.
6. To rescue and pledge on as many small breed dogs as our rescue capacity and funding will allow.

About
At Second Chance our priority is finding the best match for each animal. Like people, animals are individuals and have different needs for a successful adoption, according to their personalities. Acting in partnership with many animal controls across the state; Second Chance acts as an extension of local shelters, providing the extra time and resources needed in re-homing animals, therefore reducing the need for euthanasia. Second Chance rarely takes owner releases. Instead we prefer to use our resources for the animals in danger of being “put down”at open admission shelters/Animal Controls.
Second Chance for Homeless Pets was created in 2000 when its founder, Rhonda Greenhalgh (DeMars-Hughes), who at 19 years old, drove all night to save a deaf Boxer from being euthanized at a High-Kill Los Angeles shelter. At the time no one was interested in adopting a deaf dog. The Boxer, who was named Storm, was adopted and resided in the home that Rhonda found for her until she past due to old age. Since 2000 Second Chance for Homeless Pets has gone on to rescue over 6,000 animals (and counting) from high euthanasia shelters in Utah and adopted them out to loving families in the Salt Lake and surrounding areas. That was the labor of love Rhonda began at the age of 19 and continues to be the mission of Second Chance and its dedicated volunteers.

About
We’re Nuzzles & Co., a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) no-kill organization located in Summit County, Utah. In 1990, a group of volunteers founded our organization, originally known as Friends of Animals Utah, so we could come together to find homes for animals in need. Since then, we have found homes for over 22,000 pets.
Our mission is to protect animals, to provide a loving and nurturing place where they can get healthy and learn positive behaviors, and then to find loving homes for each one of them. We also work to educate the community on the humane treatment of animals.
What we’ve learned is that, in helping these animals, we are the ones who benefit. As our animals get a second chance at life and find loving homes, they give back that love one-hundred fold. When we put love first, we come together as a community and grow stronger as a society.

About
Best Friends Animal Society is a leading national animal welfare organization dedicated to ending the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters. In addition to running lifesaving programs in partnership with more than 3,700 animal welfare groups across the country, Best Friends has lifesaving centers in New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Salt Lake City, and operates the nation’s largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. Founded in 1984, Best Friends is a pioneer in the no-kill movement and has helped reduce the number of animals killed in shelters nationwide from an estimated 17 million per year to around 355,000 in 2021. That means there are still more than 970 dogs and cats killed every day in shelters, just because they don’t have safe places to call home.

About
RSQ is a non-profit animal rescue in St. George, Utah. Our mission is to be a voice for the voiceless, bettering the lives of animals in Utah’s rural communities.
RSQ is run solely on volunteers and donations with no paid staff. And we couldn’t continue the work we are doing without our incredible supporters.
RSQ started in 2017 (as RSQ Dogs+) when our founder and director, Kelli Stokes, saw a need for help in the rural communities surrounding St. George. The rural areas we serve have limited resources and often no options for their unwanted and stray animals.
We not only rescue animals from these underserved areas, but we also provide pet food for families in need, and offer low cost or free spay/neuter services when possible. We have also done fundraising to improve the living conditions at the Hildale city impound with insulated dog houses for unclaimed animals during their mandatory stray hold time.
Another thing that sets RSQ apart from other organizations is that we specialize in taking on extreme medical cases. It is important to us to give animals a chance when in other situations they would often be euthanized. Many animals that we rescue have serious medical needs, whether it’s from injury, old age, or other conditions. We have seen amazing outcomes when these animals are given a chance.
Every year, we rescue around 500 animals and that number is continuing to climb. And that’s not just dogs and cats! If you come for a visit, you may find pig friends, rabbits, or even ducks! Most of our animals are at our adoption center, but many are in foster as well.

About
Rescue Rovers is an all-volunteer foster-based rescue. Our fosters volunteer their homes, their time and their hearts to care for dogs of all breeds and ages. We pull dogs from high kill shelters in Utah and surrounding states. Occasionally we take dogs from further away. We’ve been lucky enough to rescue dogs from as far away as Kansas!
When a shelter is full or when dogs are approaching their “due out” date a shelter contacts a rescue for help. Rescue Rovers has a strong working relationship with many shelters and we often pull up to 100 dogs in a month. The dogs are placed in crates and driven (sometimes flown) to safety. Those trips range from one hour to 15 hours or more, and sometimes the dogs arrive a mess. They are often stressed, exhausted, carsick and disoriented…but they are also aware that they are now SAFE. The dogs lean into their rescuers, gaze at them with those classic puppy-dog eyes, and trust them almost immediately.
