Pets in Distress Inc.

Animal rescue in Ocala, FL

We rescue pets from bad environments, animal control kill shelters, abandoned, neglected, abused and un-wanted. We get them healthy, spay/neuter, all vaccinations, heartworm test and dewormings. If they have heartworms, we treat. Any minor or major illness we treat. When they are ready to be adopted, they all have a 100% clean bill of health.
We are a small no kill organization. We are a total foster network group. All of our adoption pets live in our homes as our own until the right home comes along. We need foster homes desperately and welcome any new help!!
