What does "rescue" mean?
To say an animal is going to "rescue" means that it has been accepted into an organization that works hard to save animals from euthanasia and place them in carefully screened homes. Many of these groups focus on specific breeds (Siamese cats, German Shepherd dogs), specific species (dogs, cats, birds), and even elderly pets who probably wouldn't find homes otherwise.
Animals selected for rescue will live great lives in foster homes, often receiving training and/or medical treatment, until the perfect forever home is found.

What is the "Rescue Waggin'"?
PCHS is proud to be a part of the PetSmart Charities' Rescue Waggin' program. Special transport vehicles travel around the country picking up adoptable dogs and puppies from high volume shelters like ours, and take them to areas with a high demand for these pets (the high demand comes from successful spay/neuter programs in these areas!). This program also offers funding for spay/neuter and other benefits.
