Other Rescues

Millions of pets end up in shelters each year due to minor behavior problems, no i.d. tag, economic problems, death in the family, foreclosure, moving, and divorce. Four million of these homeless animals are killed each year in America’s shelters. Ninty percent of the animals that enter shelters are adoptable or could be with care and treatment. If Lange Foundation doesn’t have your perfect pet, please keep searching at other shelters and rescues.
