Many people call to surrender an animal simply because they cannot afford vetting, have unsuitable housing, or cannot manage behavioral training on their own. The Intervention program at the center has addressed this desperate need to help people in the community when times are tough by providing support and resources for numerous challenges.
But, for the animals where their guardians are unwilling or impatient to work through their challenges, there has been a need for a safe place for them to go. And, for animals being surrendered, and thrust from their home, to be put into a small metal cage is not a recipe for success. At Famous Fido Rescue, we have designed living spaces for the animals who formerly faced trauma, to relax, play, and positively engage with other animals and potential adopters.
The difference has already been lifesaving for so many, and the renovations are not even complete yet. The renovation progress has begun in the cat rooms at the center, and already, cats that were previously labelled as unadoptable and put on the euthanasia list at kill shelters, that have been transferred here have completely transformed. Cats that would hiss, bite, and scratch, are now comfortable enough to let their guards down and trust humans again.
The improvement can also be seen when the cats are adopted, with a shorter turn around time to adjust to their new homes. It is far less of a shock to move into a home from a comfortable environment, than it is to transition from a cage.
To continue the renovations at the center, Famous Fido Rescue will need your help. You can be a part of changing the way shelters look and feel for animals in need by sponsoring a room at the center. It will not only help the animals that are in the center today, but those that will need the space tomorrow too. Each of the rooms have been themed to raise awareness for another animal or environmental welfare cause as well.
There are 12 rooms that still need sponsoring. For more information, email: fido famousfidorescue. Historically, older dogs have always been at an increased risk for euthanasia in kill shelters, and especially more so when they demonstrate age-related ailments, such as arthritis.
Bear is a year-old rottweiler and for a long time he was completely unable to walk, with total paralysis in his back legs, weakening all his muscles. In a kill shelter, it is highly likely that Bear would have been at the very top of the euthanasia list.
Bear was surrendered to Famous Fido Rescue when his guardian passed away. While everyone was busy cleaning, no one stopped to think about the grief Bear was going through. He had been with his person his whole life and now, he had no one.
None of the family members wanted Bear. At this point, Bear was 15 years old, and while he was still able to walk, his joint health was already deteriorating rapidly.
Soon after his surrender, Bear became completely unable to walk. He was diagnosed as paraplegic, and we were told many times that he would never be able to walk again on his own. Nevertheless, we persisted. We sought advice from many veterinarians, and were consistently told to have him euthanized, and direct funds towards helping younger, more adoptable animals. Thankfully, Bear had a big support base at Famous Fido Rescue, helping with every step of his rescue journey.
Bear finally found a vet that was able to help him with integrative medicine, and he began with getting weekly acupuncture treatments, and started a regime of arthritis meds, vitamins, and physical therapy. When Bear sat up on his own for the very first time, we realized the potential of his therapy plan.
He began trying to move his back legs and trying to lift his body up. Little by little, Bear was making progress and proving his strength and resilience. There were a lot of hard days, where we were lifting Bear to make him stand to use the bathroom, and where we carried him outside to take in the sunshine. But all the while, he maintained his cheeky spirit, and was often playing with his toys, by throwing them up into their air, and trying to catch them with his mouth. See Adopted Pets List.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life. What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
