    Rescue Rebels has been one of the rescues I’ve followed for years. I have been going to their events to support them and the animals they are continually helping and eventually became a volunteer so I could be part of their life saving efforts. I’ve seen first hand the dogs, both young and old, they have received in horrible conditions or on the verge of being euthanized. Time and time again rescue rebels came in and saved them and now they are all living a better, healthier, happier life.

    Cash 4 Canines, Inc. dba Rescue Rebels' sole mission is to provide a better and improved life, essentially a "second chance", for working dog breeds that have been left at shelters, surrendered by their owners, or that have been abused and neglected. Through Rescue Rebels, these companion animals are rescued, given the physical care necessary, spayed or neutered, and provided with behavioral guidance if necessary. Our TLC Transformation Project welcomes medically fragile companion animals, that have been left at shelters and provides funds for the medical care unique to each animal's needs, and then finds these animals foster homes or "fur" ever homes.

    We need help! County won’t really step in with funding and these dogs suffer for it. Only one meal a day. All the dogs I’ve taken out are starving. They say they don’t have staff to help. We are a traveler’s Mecca being in Orlando- and I would LOVE to be able to work with the tourist board or county board to drive more attention and energy towards OCAS. My heart sinks knowing all the good fur babies out there have to deal with any shelter. Humans have done most pups a disservice.

    Orange County Animal Services (OCAS) is a progressive animal-welfare focused organization that enforces the Orange County Code to protect both citizens and animals. OCAS is the only open admission shelter in Orange County, which means that it does not turn away any animal and accepts all animals, regardless of their temperament or health. The health and well-being of the animals in the care of OCAS is of the utmost importance to Orange County and its community. Most animals are ideal candidates for adoption, yet some come to the shelter suffering from long-term and profound health problems, as a result of being homeless, stray or abused. On average, the shelter receives approximately 50 animals each day, but these numbers can double during peak summer months.

    About Us Happy Trails Animal Rescue is a 501c3 Non Profit Animal Rescue Group located in the Central Florida area. Our organization was founded in 2013. After five years of rescuing and rehabilitating dogs in need from local area shelters, we started to realize that we have to get to the source of the issue rather than only trying to clean up the mess. We opened a brand new Community Resource Center for pet owners in 2019 that services Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties that provides free and low cost training assistance, educational programs, youth programs, a pet food pantry, help with emergency veterinary expenses, free grooming, and other assistance. Our mission is to provide the resources and support pet owners in our community need to create a better community for the animals in Central Florida and help reduce overpopulation and keep existing pets in their homes. As always, we will still be taking in and rehabilitating shelter dogs in need and appreciate all of the support we have received from Central Florida in our rescue endeavors.

    #100 in United States, #13 in Florida, #4 in Orlando

    Orlando

    We are a foster-based, non-profit dog rescue, based out of Hunter's Creek (SW Orlando), Florida. The rescue's story began with a lost dog in our community, Hunter, a 2-year-old German Shepherd. Poor Hunter was abandoned by his owners, left to fend for himself alone on the streets of Hunter's Creek. Based on sightings, the community knew he was alone for at least a month, and speculated he was probably roaming for 2-3 months total. The community came together on a mission to save Hunter, and shared photos and updates on the community Hunters Creek/Southchase Rants, Raves & Reviews Facebook page. Despite countless efforts from the community, Hunter was terrified and would not allow anyone approach him (and story has it this boy can gain speed FAST!) Multiple homes throughout several Hunter's Creek neighborhoods graciously set out feeding stations for him to help assure he stayed fed while on his journey. The community stepped up to bring volunteer trappers from East Orlando, and the traps were monitored with a live feed, but Hunter still managed to evade any attempts to catch him. Volunteers in Hunter's Creek came day and night to refresh and reset the trap and release any wildlife that ventured in the trap meant for Hunter. The trap was even relocated 3 separate times, based on patterns determined from the sightings shared on the Facebook page. On December 27th, Hunter was so hungry that he finally entered the trap - he was instantly caught on camera and the trappers sent an SOS so the local community could get to him quickly while the trappers made the long commute. A group of about 8 neighbors showed up to transfer the trap into a community member's van. Hunter's Creek Veterinary Hospital was called, and they kept their doors open and remained in the office late for us to arrive as they had also been following Hunter's journey. Hunter was terrified but never showed aggression while being scanned for a microchip. A chip was located, and the rescuers were hopeful. Voicemails were left and Hunter was transferred to a temporary foster home until his owners could be located. Hunter was very overwhelmed and shy after his long journey - he always wanted to have his back in a corner, he was unable to make eye contact with anyone and his tail was stuck between his legs. His foster mom spent the first night sleeping on the couch with him and he started to get a taste of what love is all about. Hunter's owners were finally located, but they shared that they didn't want him. But there was a happy ending after all - Hunter found his forever home right here in Hunter's Creek! He now has a fan page with over 400 followers following his journey, along with other dogs in need. Hunter now lives with his new mom, dad, teenage brother, college sister and fur sister. He is learning to trust more every day and even learned what it's like to play! He loves to be outside and lounge by his new pool or run in the yard with his fur sister. After Hunter's successful adoption, a handful of the community members united through his journey decided to start a rescue mission, named after the pup who started it all, and Hunter's Village Rescue (HVR) was born! The community has been incredibly supportive of us from day 1, and we truly could not have made the difference we've made without their support.

For me, the ranch was just my happy place.”
