Demi's Animal Rescue

Demi's Animal Rescue is a Place That an Animal Can Grow, Improve and Rehabilitate. Volunteer run, all funds raised directly impact the animals in our care & allow us to continue to save those that are the most in need, while remaining fiscally responsible.

A lot of organizations specialize in a specific breed, they may only take seniors or they may specialize in kittens and puppies and there is nothing wrong with that! Demi's Animal Rescue realizes that all types of animals are in need and are a victim of the pet homelessness, so we are open to take all cats and dogs. Pit bulls, healthy kittens, special needs seniors, medical cases, behavioral cases, etc. As long as there is a foster available that is equipped to take the animal in need, the rescue is willing to support that animal and take it under it's wing!

This goes for fosters and adopters as well! Our approach is keeping in mind that although it may not seem like it sometimes, most people have the best intentions. A lot of small things that a foster or adopter would be denied for at another organization could be easily fixed with some education and effort. We believe that with these two things, most people will make the right decisions and in turn will help with our mission. Some of our best supporters were denied somewhere else for extremely small or fixable reasons. Taking the time and effort, really helps keep these people on the right track instead of pushing them towards breeders, pet stores or other sources of pets that we are trying to eliminate. An amazing home can't always be chosen based off a questionnaire which is why we like to engage in conversation to get a real idea of who they are.

In August 2021, we opened our Thrift Store & Cat Lodge to help support the rescue and provide a safe space for overlooked cats. Demi's Animal Rescue Thrift Store and Cat Lodge was created to provide a safe space for high risk cats (senior cats, bonded pairs, under socialized cats, black cats, FIV positive cats and more) to be rehabilitated and given a platform to be highlighted to the public for adoption. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control with our landlord, the Thrift Store & Cat Lodge closed last year. Demi's Animal Rescue will continue on with our foster program that we have always had and are excited to see what comes next along side that!
