Saving Shelter Pets

Saving Shelter Pets strives to eliminate euthanasia as a method of population control for homeless companion animals, by providing no-kill alternative solutions and proactively addressing the problem of pet overpopulation. Our Activities: * Saving lives of shelter animals in danger of euthanization, by moving them to safe, no-kill rescues * Providing access to proactive pet population control methods, i.e. spay/neuter programs * Promoting educational opportunities to increase awareness of the problems and consequences associated with pet overpopulation, pet abandonment in shelters, and inhumane treatment of pets. Our Rescue & Transport Program focuses on saving cats and dogs from high-kill shelters in the Southeastern US and moving them to safe, no-kill rescues in the Northeast. All animals receive full medical care and are quarantined at a boarding facility or in foster care until they are healthy to travel. We use professional transporters to transfer the animals safely from the Southeast to the Northeast, where they have a much better opportunity for adoption. All veterinary, boarding, and transport costs are paid by SSP thanks to the generous donations of people like you! SSP also operates an innovative program called Puppy Promises that not only rescues puppies, but also spays their mother to help reduce pet overpopulation. Our Bernies Buddies program helps to treat heartworm positive dogs that are saved through our Rescue & Transport program. Our Spay & Neuter program offers financial assistance to low-income pet owners in several Ohio and Georgia counties.
