Review for Rescue One, Springfield, MO, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My rural community has a problem with abandoned, neglected and loose dogs & cats, as well as pet owners in need of outreach services. There is no animal control or other governmental agency to address these problems and needs. Our local rescues are the only help and Rescue One has been vital in getting these needed services to the community. I've relied on them to rescue animals in need, animals in danger of being shot because they are creating nuisances or hazards. Our sheriff's office has relied on them as well when animals are involved in calls. Rescue One has a feral cat trap, neuter and release program, and outreach food and vetting services. They are out in the middle of night trapping animals. They take on medical cases and senior dogs/cats that most rescues refuse. They have rehomed thousands of animals. I have volunteered and/or fostered with them for over 6 years now, and adopted one of my dogs from them as well. I have also volunteered for other rescues and shelters in the past. The amount of time, dedication and willingness they have to take on seemingly insurmountable caseloads is amazing, and their vision for expanding in order to meet the ever growing needs of the community has been impressive and inspiring. Hands down the best rescue or shelter ever.
