GREEN HEART RESCUE (GREEN TEAM)
Green Heart Rescue’s mission is to provide safe, loving homes for senior dogs, dogs with special needs, and dogs deemed as hospice due to medical reasons. Our focus is to improve their quality of life through integrating a holistic approach with proper medical care for every senior dog we rescue. By the time most senior dogs have entered our rescue, their health has started to decline. Our goal is to ensure that all of our dogs experience love, comfort, peace, and proper nutrition. Shortly after intake, our dogs are treated for medical care, which helps us determine whether they’ll be adoptable, or be a permanent part of our sanctuary. Any dog that is considered hospice stays with us for the rest of their lives.
NORTHERN STAR DOG RESCUE (BLUE TEAM)
Northern Star Dog Rescue is a foster based 501C3 nonprofit organization that provides opportunities for dogs at shelters who are on euthanasia lists or that are homeless to be rescued and placed in foster homes until permanent homes can be found.
Our amazing team of volunteers at Northern Star Dog Rescue are committed to helping rescued dogs in our community find permanent homes. We do not get paid for this, we all have families, we all have jobs too but all of us volunteer our extra time to save as many dogs as possible!
We focus on saving as many dogs as we can but we are limited to the amount of fosters who are willing to take a dog into their home temporarily until we find the dog(s) a permanent home. Do you want to foster a dog? We do our best to find a good match for our fosters. It is such a rewarding and gratifying act of kindness. Contact us to find out how you could help us save more dogs!
OPERATION COMMUNITY CATS (ORANGE TEAM)
Mission
Operation Community Cats is a 501(c)(3) serving the Treasure Valley to reduce feral and unowned cat overpopulation by funding and coordinating high-quality spay/neuter clinics, loaning humane traps, and empowering colony caregivers with training and resources.
Vision
Operation Community Cats envisions a Treasure Valley where every unowned cat is humanely managed, healthy, and no longer contributes to preventable overpopulation.
SIMPLY CATS (LIME TEAM)
As Boise’s premier cageless, no-kill, feline adoption center, we are dedicated to saving cats from suffering or euthanasia by practicing and promoting high standards of care and creating successful adoptions.
As a recognized and respected leader of no-kill cat rescue and adoption, we pride ourselves on the exceptional level of medical care we provide to all cats in our care, especially those in critical need. Our adoption process is about building lasting connections—not just placing cats, but assisting adopters in finding a companion who fits their lifestyle. We are passionate about educating on responsible cat ownership, and providing support to our adopters to ensure a smooth transition into their new life. We rely heavily on donations to continue providing lifesaving medical care, food, and shelter to vulnerable cats and kittens in our community.
TAKE ME HOME DOG RESCUE (LIGHT BLUE TEAM)
Founded in 2017, we are a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization that partners with high-kill dog shelters in Idaho and around the United States. We are solely volunteer-based. We utilize our foster homes located throughout the Treasure Valley to secure safe placement for adoptable dogs while they are in transition. We value being an inclusive organization and do not discriminate against the breed, age, or medical condition of any dog.
Our mission is to rescue dogs from overcrowded and high kill shelters, and place them in loving homes. We also strive to educate the public on responsible pet ownership, and the importance of spay/neuter, so that one day there will no longer be adoptable dogs, euthanized by the thousands in our shelters.
WEST VALLEY HUMANE SOCIETY (PURPLE TEAM)
Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals while fostering compassion, promoting responsible pet ownership, educating the community, and ensuring every animal gets a second chance.
