SOS Pet Rescue Inc.

Overview

SOS Pet Rescue Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded in 2023 by two friends with extensive experience in the veterinary and rescue sectors. The organization is dedicated to rescuing, protecting, and advocating for stray, feral, and abandoned cats and dogs in the Poconos and Slate Belt communities.

Mission

The mission of SOS Pet Rescue Inc. is centered around providing essential care and shelter to animals in need. They aim to create a controlled pet population where all cats and dogs are safe, medically cared for, loved, and understood. Their core values focus on encouraging compassion through education, medical assistance, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs for feral cats.

Objectives

1. Community Focused Initiatives: The organization seeks to integrate itself into the community through conversational adoption processes and educational programs. They emphasize the importance of understanding the needs of animals and fostering a supportive community environment.

2. Medical Care and TNR Programs: SOS Pet Rescue Inc. provides medical assistance to unowned animals often turned away from other facilities. They prioritize TNR programs as a key strategy for managing stray and feral cat populations.

3. Shelter and Veterinary Clinic Development:

   • Shelter Facility: The goal is to establish a shelter where adoptable pets can be housed and cared for.
   • Low-Cost Veterinary Clinic: There is a pressing need for affordable veterinary care in the community. SOS Pet Rescue aims to open a low-cost clinic offering wellness and sick visits, along with spay/neuter services.

Financial Support and Community Engagement

The organization believes in making a significant impact with small contributions. They encourage monthly donations to support their mission and initiatives. The community is invited to participate in small monthly donations to collectively make a considerable difference in the lives of strays and feral animals.

Adoption Services

SOS Pet Rescue offers adoption services for cats at varying fees, depending on the age of the animal. They also plan to provide services for dogs, but specific details are subject to future updates. The organization supports multiple pet adoptions with reduced fees for additional animals.
