CompAnimals began as a Senior Pet Rescue with the rescue of Leticia and Jezabel, two senior cats who were down on their luck when their owner died unexpectedly. Leticia and Jez were placed in a home together where they were pampered throughout their senior years.

CompAnimals has gone on to rescue hundreds of unwanted pets. We have expanded to help all animals in need but specialize in the “unadoptables”: cats & dogs missing hair, animals needing surgery prior to adoption, missing limbs or eyes, sick kittens or puppies that don’t have a chance at the shelter, any animal that just needs a little extra T.L.C. before finding that forever home.

Of course we won’t turn away a perfectly healthy dog or cat who, through no fault of his own has found himself on death row. And we still have a soft spot for that graying muzzle…

CompAnimals places these animals in a foster home situation with a real-life family where they are socialized and evaluated for the home that best fits them. Many live with other dogs, cats and children.

Top 5 Reasons to Support CompAnimals:

1. We are your local, community-based animal rescue. We have 20 years of service under our belts, and are dedicated to serving animals in our region.
2. We are known for our matchmaking skills. We spend a lot of time reviewing applications and calling references so that we set up every animal and their future family for success. When we say we’re seeking forever homes for the animals in our care, we mean it.
3. We offer coaching and support after adoptions take place. We do everything in our power to provide positive reinforcement and guidance with every placement.
4. The vast majority of our efforts are volunteer-driven. To maintain an environment of transparency, we share our financials with our volunteers regularly. Your donations go directly to helping animals in need.
5. We take chances on animals that have no where else to turn, regardless of age, medical condition, breed or history.

Our Mission

CompAnimals Pet Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-driven, “no kill” rescue. Our mission is to take in unwanted, abandoned or abused dogs, cats and other small pets; to place those we can in loving, permanent homes; and to provide a sanctuary for the animals whose age, health issues or temperament precludes them from adoption. Our dogs and cats are neutered, vaccinated and receive all necessary medical treatment before being made available for adoption. Through our volunteers and outreach programs we educate the next generation about the importance of spay/neuter and giving a lifelong home to their pets. We hope to one day put ourselves out of business but until then we will continue to rescue regardless of breed, age or medical condition.
