About PetConnect Rescue

Saving lives. Building families. Creating second chances.

Every rescued pet has a story—and every second chance begins with people who care.

PetConnect Rescue is a foster-based animal rescue powered by a dedicated community of volunteers and a small staff who work together to save lives, build families, and create second chances for at-risk dogs and cats. Founded in 2005, we’ve spent more than two decades providing exceptional care and helping thousands of pets find loving, permanent homes.

We rescue dogs and cats from overcrowded and under-resourced shelters where limited space and resources often put animals at risk. By bringing them into our foster program, we not only give each pet a second chance, but also create space for our shelter partners to save even more lives.

Every PetConnect Rescue animal is cared for in a loving foster home while waiting for adoption. Foster families provide a safe, nurturing environment where pets receive comprehensive veterinary care—from routine vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, and preventive care to advanced medical treatment, including surgery, hospitalization, and other specialized care when necessary. We are committed to giving every animal the care they need to become healthy, confident, and ready to join a loving new family.

Our commitment doesn’t end on adoption day. We are dedicated to creating a positive adoption experience and supporting adopters every step of the way, before and after adoption. Whether you have questions about training, behavior, health, or helping your new pet adjust, we’re here with guidance, resources, and a caring community committed to helping every adoption succeed.

PetConnect Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Together, we’re saving lives, building families, and creating second chances—one pet at a time. Join us by adopting, fostering, volunteering, or donating today.

Our compassionate volunteers and staff find loving homes for all the animals that come into our care and provide ongoing support throughout the adoption process and beyond. We are committed to ensuring a highly positive rescue experience for our adopters and to raising awareness of the plight of abandoned animals through community education. 

Student volunteers are welcome to make toys, beds, and bake treats for our cats and dogs in foster care and assist with social media creation. If students have additional ideas on ways they can help, they are encouraged to reach out to us!
