RESCUE LOVE
Are you looking to add a new fury member to your family?
Or maybe you want to help furry friends in shelters and rescues?
Or maybe both? Well, we love our local rescues and we are here to help you start your journey by telling you some of our favorite Utah pet organizations.
“Our Mission: We don’t just rescue pets. We show up for the ones who’ve waited the longest, lost the most, or been passed by again and again.
We’re here for the seniors, the shy ones, the black dogs no one notices, the bonded pairs people don’t want to separate, and the medical cases that need extra care. We’re here for the animals who just need someone to say, “You still matter.”
At ManyPaws, second chances aren’t rare—they’re the reason we exist.”
“Mountain Mama Pyrs, is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill rescue group of dedicated foster homes. Founded in June of 2023 by a few caring people, our sole purpose is to give abandoned, abused and unwanted pets another chance at finding loving, permanent homes.
Although we focus on LGD breeds due to the overwhelming number abandoned here in Utah and the legislature that deems them disposable, we take any urgent dog in need throughout the intermountain west. We rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home to loving families. Mountain Mamas is funded by adoption fees, donations, fundraising events and tributes. All donations are tax deductible.”
“The Golden Bark Foundation is a Utah-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing and advocating for senior dogs in need. We provide medical care, stability, and compassionate, individualized support to dogs who are often overlooked, ensuring they can age with dignity, comfort, and quality of life.
Through adoption and hospice care, along with education and community engagement, we work to change the narrative around senior dog adoption and ensure every dog is valued and honored in their final chapter.
Every dog deserves a loving home to live out their golden years, no matter how many days, months or years they have left.”
Great Pyrenees Rescue Resources Utah and Montana
“Our mission is to help the innocent sweet pups that don't have a voice. Our dedicated group of passionate volunteers work to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome the many Great Pyrenees and Pyrenees mix dogs coming in sick, injured, emaciated, and covered in mats. We are here to provide funding for the vet bills and grooming. We also fund the feeding of the pups while they are in foster care and boarding.
Educating the public on the treatment of the livestock guardian dogs is something we take very seriously. We are here to fight for their rights and do everything we can to get them covered under animal cruelty laws.
They don't have a voice so you will never stop hearing ours!”
Second Chance for Homeless Pets
“We are dedicated to ending the homeless pet epidemic and supporting the community through Adoptions, Education, and low cost vaccination care. Second Chance for Homeless Pets is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt, non-profit, no kill facility. We have a wide variety of Dogs and Cats available for adoption at all times.”
“The mission of Lorelei’s Legacy is to provide medical assistance through veterinary care and rehabilitation for sick or injured animals from shelters in need. When the animals are healthy, we work in cooperation with no-kill rescue groups to re-home the animals.”
“For over 30 years, Arctic Rescue has been dedicated to saving northern-breed dogs throughout Utah and the surrounding states. We specialize in Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Huskies, and Alaskan Malamutes. These intelligent, high-energy breeds are often misunderstood and frequently overlooked in traditional shelter settings.
Many of the dogs who come into our care have been labeled “unadoptable” by shelters or local agencies due to behavior, stress, or lack of appropriate placement options. Without breed-specific support, they may have no other options.
Our mission is to advocate for these dogs, provide them with stability and breed-appropriate support, and place them in homes where they are set up to succeed for life”
