Welcome to Act NOW! Rescue
 
What is rescue?Many people have varying ideas as to "what is rescue". There are rescues that are breed specific. There are rescues that only do strays. There are rescues that only do small dogs or purebreds bought from auctions or purchased from puppy mills. There are rescues that only take in highly adoptable dogs.There are rescues who charge huge adoption fees and actually make a living doing "rescue" WE , of Act Now Rescue are none of the above. We take in strays, owner turn ins and have pulled from "high kill" shelters. We are not breed specific, we are not about highly adoptable healthy dogs. Many of our dogs are not without health issues or behavior issues that need to be resolved. We feel with our heart, not our mind, that tells us unhealthy dogs are expensive. Is cost an option?Who is to say any certain dog is not worth saving. What is a life worth? If you would ask, tammy, laurie, terri or jamiie,  What was the worth of their loving companion?PRICELESS! Rescue is expensive.Even with vet discounts, the bills are astronomical.. Our group will never say a dog is not worth saving.The difference it makes to the family that adopts, will always be worth the expense. We will continue to rescue those in need . God bless to our adopters and supporters. The Act Now Rescue Team.

ACT Now! Rescue is an all volunteer, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) no kill dog and cat rescue and welfare organization serving St. Louis County, Jefferson County and Franklin County in Missouri. We operate through a foster network and work with local shelters as well as take in stray and abandoned animals. As an organization, we strongly oppose puppy mills and breeding programs and emphasize education and a vigorous spay/neuter program in order to reduce problems of overpopulation.
We have just started full operations in September, 2006 and there are many exciting opportunities to join the group and help further the causes of dog and cat welfare in this region. We are currently looking for generous people willing to share their homes and serve as foster parents for the animals we take in as well as volunteers to serve is almost every other area of the operation. If you're interested in fostering or being  a volunteer or even learn more about the many opportunities we offer please contact us.
