We are a 100% foster and volunteer rescue based out of Ocala, Florida!
We are Working, Advocating, Giving, and Saving the lives of animals in need! It's what gives us the W.A.G.S. in our tails.
We are currently foster based and only able to take additional animals when we have money in the medical fund and foster room available.
All of our cats and dogs are vetted prior to adoption, so the adoption fee is considerably less than the total amount of money put into each animal. As a result we are always in need of donations of funds and supplies.
Every donation is GREATLY appreciated!

Greater Marion County area (Marion, Sumter, Lake, Citrus, Levy) - For adopters further away we will have to coordinate with a local rescue group to ensure a home visit is done.
Additional adoption info
For all cats and dogs, we do require an interview and vet references.
We only adopt cats out to indoor only homes that have no intention to declaw.
Depending on the needs of the dog we may or may not require a fenced yard prior to placement.
We adopt out based on the needs of the pet in question, not on a first come first serve basis.
Our standard adoption fees are: $50 kittens, $30 cats, dogs adoption fees vary based on size and age ranging from $250 to $125 and $25 for rabbits.
We do require an adoption contract, which states that any animal we adopt out must be returned to us (as opposed to a kill shelter) or rehomed through us and that adopters will adhere to standard health and safety policies.
Adopted animals may be returned for any reason within 5 days of adoption for 100% return of adoption fee.
Our cats and dogs are spayed and neutered prior to adoption (though adopters may foster to adopter animals prior to completed vetting), as well as given appropriate core vaccines. Dogs are heartworm tested and cats are FIV/Felv tested. Additional upcoming vetting, such as boosters, will always be disclosed to potential adopters.
