After searching through craigslist ads and facebook pages for a Maltese, I was overwhelmed with the scams and ridiculous prices people want, not to mention the price range is crazy. Then someone sent me a link through Facebook suggesting that I try rescues and she sent me several ways to search etc. Amazing !!
I haven't found my forever pet yet but I know they are out there waiting.

My husband and I were looking to add a Pitbull into our family. I reached out to Karen who instantly provided me with a bundle of tips and resources. We were able to find our new baby within a day and we couldn't be happier. Even after letting Karen know the great news she was still there to offer advice and more tips. This is truly a charity that cares about the wellness of the animals.

I had been looking for a puppy for months. A very nice person suggested a shelter's website and I was able to find the perfect puppy to give a forever home to.

I highly recommend this non-profit animal organization. You can see great pups from the included links that are sure and safe routes to obtaining a new pet. The owner of the charity works hard to ensure the safety and integrity of the animals, while also seeking to help potential new pet owners from any kind of harassment when looking for a new mixed breed by others who feel dogs should be purebred only and from breeders. I underwent a similar harassment looking for a mixed breed as opposed to a purebred from a breeder. The owner of this organization is against such harassment, as she understands there are many pets out there who need homes, regardless of "oops" litters, or from people who cannot handle a puppy after trying, etc. I found my 10 week old mixed breed pup from a couple who worked all day and felt they were neglecting the pup. The pup came from a hand-fed litter, as the mother had died a few days after birth. Organizations serve to make things better in society. This organization helps future pet owners find good pets by allowing people to be connected together.

Karen is an animal lover above all...Her role is to try to get animals adopted rather than people going to Breeders aka Puppy Mills..It is a truly noble endeavor. I met her when she was on the Board of Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter...

She really tries ,she realizes more than anyone that an animal left too long in a shelter will end up euthanized or transferred to a Kill Shelter...She is the guardian of these poor precious creatures

Karen Jean D'Alessandro is a devoted animal lover that I've known since we were children. She would take in stray animals on the streets of Newark NJ and then find them loving homes. She is an exceptional and caring person. God bless her!

I can't say enough about this organization. They truly care about finding Foster and/or permanent homes for animals. They do whatever it takes to match the right fit with each placement. Karen is a very caring and loving person when it comes to animals and finding the right person/family for displaced animals.. She's an advocate and will protect animals rights to the very end. I was truly impressed and I highly recommend this organization and have recommended this organization to many people looking to adopt or foster animals.

Using no donated funds to pay any staff or herself, Karen has built an effective organization dedicated to the salvation of otherwise discarded and doomed pets. Using social media to network with a nationwide group of like minded individuals she has been able to save hundreds of animals. Using social media as well she has been able to expose and shame, and by doing so, hopefully, stop the abuse of numerous animals as well. Great job without diverting donations to overhead.

Karen and I were college best friends and also as the years passed we remained in close touch. I have a tuxedo cat. Eeeyor that Karen helped me rescue after my battle with cancer. He is now over 9 years old and I am well too. She has the ability to love so much that these pets are her "children." So human to her that she has so much involvement with other animal lovers and I refer friends, customers, neighbors and more to her directly. She is responsive, helpful and so full of heart. Saving the animals and finding loving homes is what she wants to do for her daily "bread." She lives centered around finding matching families and pets. She herself is a dog owner all her life. She handled and headed a shelter in the North Jersey area and we many times had fund raisers and spent time gathering donations. All in the name of homeless pets in need of love. Karen is a trusted friend a GO TO for any pet needing a happy home. I look forward to all her rescue work and connecting others who at many times, these pets become family members and we keep the word out there.

Save Animals In Shelters, Inc. has assisted me in adopting my poodle.
She was homeless in a local shelter and so shy. She has adapted to my home and children.
This charity provided me with every piece of literature to educate me for adopting. The best thing was everthing was free. Thank you! Tom in NJ.

Hi,
Save Animals In Shelters, Inc. helped me find my perfect dog which was like 20 minutes from my house. I was looking for over 4 months and then I searched on Facebook and found them. They provided me with so much information on animal welfare which I truly had no idea, since I am in a totally different business. I did not realize that there were so many animal shelters in USA and so many animals that needed homes. Just these 2 websites alone were all I needed:
www.petfinder.com and www.savearescue.org The savings was amazing as well because I was going to so many Breeders who charged 3 times the amount. I always spread the word about them and will use them in the future.

Need help?
