Saving Shelter Pets Inc

Our Rescue & Transport Program focuses on saving cats and dogs from high-kill shelters in the Southeastern US and moving them to safe, no-kill rescues in the Northeast. All animals receive full medical care and are quarantined at a boarding facility or in foster care until they are healthy to travel. We use professional transporters to transfer the animals safely from the Southeast to the Northeast, where they have a much better opportunity for adoption. All veterinary, boarding, and transport costs are paid by SSP thanks to the generous donations of people like you!


SSP also operates an innovative program called Puppy Promises that not only rescues puppies, but also spays their mother to help reduce pet overpopulation.

Our Bernies Buddies program helps to treat heartworm positive dogs that are saved through our Rescue & Transport program.

Our newest program is Spay & Neuter, which offers financial assistance to low-income pet owners in several Ohio and Georgia counties.

Mission Statement

Saving Shelter Pets (SSP) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization. We facilitate rescues from high-kill animal shelters and promote spay & neuter, in an effort to give all pets the chance at life they truly deserve.

SSP is a small, all-volunteer organization with supporters and volunteers located throughout the country. We rely solely on donations to continue our rescue and spay/neuter efforts.

i would recommend this to a friend because i am a huge animal lover. when i see how animals are treated it makes me sad, it makes me feel like i need to do something, something to save them or help them. like i can't just sit back and let them suffer. a lot of my friends would feel the same way and would want to help as much as they could as i would.
