Currently responsible for over 500 animals due to abuse, neglect, loss and relinquishment, SAP serves the wellness of rescued animals at all costs. In 2009, Save-A-Pet cared for over 1450 animals.

On a daily basis, Save-A-Pet faces two basic challenges rescue and education. The rescue cycle includes the process and costs of intake, vaccinations, surgeries (i.e., spay/neuter), prescription food, preventative medications, chronic illness medications (i.e., for FIV, heart murmurs, allergies, IBD, arthritis, etc.), and the emotional healing of the residents. The educational cycle includes the process and costs of rehabilitating the residents before and after adoption, as well as the costs for training adopters in preventative care and solving behavioral problems.

Successful outcomes of our efforts include reduced euthanasia rates, reduced cruelty to animals, and increased adoption rates. Every successful adoption represents an opportunity to save an additional life. Successful outcomes of educational cycles include the total wellness and healing of our residents, and the lifelong happiness of adopters who can share love and compassion with their pets by providing them with a 4EVER home.

Save-A-Pet constantly works toward a realization of our no-kill mission where no animal is turned away or euthanized (by others) due to lack of space or funding such that we can treat them, heal them and prepare them for adoption. To accomplish this, we also have to educate the community about animal welfare, animal health care, and encourage owners to have their cats and dogs spayed or neutered to lessen the number of homeless pets.
