Inspired by the life of Kathy Lynn Duffie, a disabled veteran, injured in Iraq who was a passionate animal rescue advocate. When Kathy passed away, seven loving and adorable kitties and two loyal and playful doggies were left without a home.
Duffie’s Dames Animal Rescue and Shelter is a foster-based non-profit animal rescue organization based in Indian River County, FL.
We were founded in October 2019 and since then, we’ve rescued, re-homed and provided medical care Spay/Neutering, medications and dental care and surgeries through various local veterinary offices.
By working with a group of committed volunteers, foster homes, we help to facilitate the placement of animals while providing them with loving, temporary care, and to find them well-matched, carefully screened forever homes.
Duffie’s Dames relies completely on your generosity to provide donations (both financial and in-kind) and volunteers. We do not receive any government funding at this time.
All rescued animals are housed in volunteer foster homes until an appropriate forever home has been found.
Duffie’s Dames is committed to every animal that we rescue. We do not euthanize animals because they have been with us too long or for medical reasons. Rather, we provide sick and elderly animals a sanctuary to live out the rest of their lives in a cage-free environment. If, for any reason, an adopter is no longer able to keep their adopted animal, we are committed to bringing it back into our Rescue and Sanctuary program.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.
