Join us in saving lives

We strive to end the cycle of abandonment through no kill guardianship education, responsible rescue & adoption practices and interventions so all dogs and cats have a loving home to call their own.

Help Us Welcome Our Furry Friends this Fall

Our rescue is committed to providing a safe haven for animals in distress, and with each new arrival, our dedication to their well-being only grows stronger. However, taking in more animals also means additional expenses for their care, including vaccinations, medical treatments, food, shelter, and the love they deserve.

That’s where you come in!

Please consider donating, adopting, or volunteering at Famous Fido Rescue & help save lives today!
