PetConnect Rescue

PetConnect Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization dedicated to placing abandoned dogs and cats in loving homes.
(193)

PetConnect fosters animals from these high kill shelters until they can be placed with a permanent family. All of our animals are spayed and neutered at an appropriate age and receive full medical care. The placement process is a critical component of our mission as the personalities of both the animals and the adopters are carefully considered. At PetConnect Rescue, we believe that every animal can become a treasured family pet.

📢 Giving Tuesday is ONE WEEK AWAY! 🎉

This year, PetConnect Rescue has a BIG goal: we’re trying to raise $10,000 to cover medical procedures for dogs and cats in need. 🐾

This money will provide:
🩺 Life-saving surgeries
💉 Essential vaccines
🩸 Routine blood work
and more!

Saving animals is expensive, but every penny is necessary to give them the gift of life. 💖 A single animal's care can cost hundreds to even thousands of dollars. Every dollar you donate goes directly to PetConnect's mission of helping animals get the care they deserve and a second chance at happiness.

Mark your calendars for December 3rd and join us in making a difference! Together, we can hit this goal and save countless lives. 🌟

You need to read what this foster has to say about Blackbeard and Licorice! 😍

"They are absolute sweethearts. Love to snuggle and sleep on our shoulders and necks! Very sweet and affectionate with their humans - they will caress my cheek with their paws (being careful to not have claws out) and walk up my chest to “hug” me, with a front leg on either side of my neck! They get along great with other cats and dogs. They are friendly, confident, and adventurous. They are also quiet - we haven’t even heard them meow! They love to play with toys and with each other, racing around the house before settling down for naps." 🐱🐶⁠
⁠
Think they might be the perfect duo for you? 🖤🖤 Check out their online profiles on our adoptable cats' page at https://www.petconnectrescue.org/adopt/cats/
