Below you will find listed various rescue services, adoption centers or information services.
Please note, those services that the F.E.C recommends due to personal experience or because they come recommended, are asterixed.
However the F.E.C is not affiliated with any of these services/sites and accepts no responsiblily for any services, products, referals, info etc offered by or animals sold / donated through them.
We strongly urge people wishing to rehome an animal to place their animal at a "no-kill" shelter. Such shelters have a general policy of keeping animals until a home is found rather than euthanase animals after an (often) brief period of time. Such an approach, we feel, is the essence of true animal rescue and adoption.
The internet lists and describes many such no kill shelters as well as countless rescue and adoption centers for animals of all shapes and sizes!
