Quality of Life Rehab & Foster, Inc

Quality of Life Rehab & Foster, Inc is a U.S. nonprofit organization based in Ocala, Florida, with a mission to enhance the quality of life for all animals. The organization focuses on providing hands-on rescue services, community outreach, foster programs, and adoption assistance. It is particularly concerned with animals at risk of entering shelter systems or those injured by human activity.

Mission and Activities

The organization emphasizes the importance of prioritizing an animal's quality of life over mere quantity. This approach guides its efforts in educating the public, providing resources for animal care, and facilitating adoptions to ensure the best possible outcomes for animals in need.

Quality of Life Rehab & Foster operates a foster-based model, with a network of foster families supporting its mission. The organization assists individuals who are fostering their own animals by offering adoption coordination and publicity services. It also provides some TNR (trap-neuter-return) services for feral cat populations, partly facilitated by collaborations with other local organizations.

Specialty Services

One of its distinctive services is the handling and relocation of reptiles and wildlife, including snake removal, without causing harm to these animals. Quality of Life Rehab & Foster is one of the few organizations that accept reptiles and amphibians into their care, reflecting a broad commitment to animal welfare.

Adoption Process

The organization has a structured adoption process that includes an application, reference checks, and home visits. Adopters are encouraged to participate in meet-and-greets with potential pets, ensuring a suitable match for both parties. All animals in their adoption program are spayed/neutered before being placed in new homes.

Community Impact

Quality of Life Rehab & Foster serves Marion County and surrounding areas on a case-by-case basis. The organization relies on community support and volunteer involvement to carry out its mission, harnessing individual talents and resources to improve animal welfare.
