We are a no-kill, all-breed rescue group with foster homes in Joplin, Neosho, Carl Junction, Webb City, Nevada ( Missouri), Pittsburg & Labette Co., (Kansas)
We have been in the animal welfare field for 14+ years in the 4-State area, volunteering at area shelters, rescuing, fostering, and finding homes for many needy pets, young and old. We have organized fundraisers and volunteered in many events to help homeless critters
We are a small non-profit group recognized by the State of Missouri; a handful of friends with a common goal: to help as many homeless pets as possible by providing veterinarian and foster care, spaying/ neutering and finding a loving home where they can be happy forever. We do not have a shelter per se, only foster homes.
One our goals is to offer the families looking for an addition to their nest, healthy and well-behaved pets; therefore, we bring the pets to local veterinarians for check-ups and they are placed in approved foster homes to evaluate their personality and provide treatment when necessary
Of course, personality varies but we try to find the right match and will take the adopted pets back and re-home them as needed.
The founder of the group, Bea Caviglia, participated in several seminars and workshops presented by the Humane Society of the United States in different States, which cover subjects as: pet health, behavior, disaster planning, humane and environmental education and others. She has also been involved with the Petfinder team for many years.

PLEASE HELP US SAVE MORE INNOCENT LIVES Our Adoptable Pet List
THANKS A MILLION to all the caring families that have given a loving home to one (or more) of our foster pets!!! We could not do our work without their support and without the nice people that help us with donations .We wouldn't be able to rescue more, that is the truth.
We are thrilled to inform that since our foundation in May 2005, we have found caring homes for 1,332 homeless pets.
We mainly rescue abandoned pets, pets from area shelters or from areas suffering from devastation (natural disasters).
Our group finds homes for needy dogs & cats doing many mobile adoptions in different areas, through Petfinder and working with other rescue groups and families in the 4-States area.
Several cats/kittens can be seen at PetSmart -Joplin store during the week and the pups & dogs on Saturdays or by appointment through email.
We are maxed out so we BEG you to SPAY or NEUTER your pets - this is the ONLY answer to pet overpopulation. Thousands of nice, healthy but unwanted pets are euthanized each year in shelters around our area - THERE ARE NO HOMES FOR THEM ALL, regardless how big the shelters or the rescue groups are.
..PLEASE HELP US SAVE MORE INNOCENT LIVES
