According to the ASPCA, approximately 1.5 million cats and dogs are euthanized yearly in the United States. The majority of these animals are being euthanized by no fault of their own, but for breed related stigmas, breed restrictions, and the fact that there is not enough space due to over population. That is why we have started FOUR LEGGED FREEDOM RESCUE.
We are an all volunteer organization located in the state of Maine with out reach in states as close as New Jersey and as far as Texas. Our mission is to find healthy and loving permanent homes for homeless and unwanted animals in our state, as well as other states where kill shelters are overcrowded and resources are limited.
With the help of our rescue partners, fosters, volunteers and generous donors we are able to pull animals from high kill shelters (sometimes only hours before being euthanized) and bring them to safety. Once an animal has been pulled from the shelter they are placed in a loving foster home. During this time they receive proper vet care and once healthy, board transport to us.
With the help of our friends, family and social media, we are able to network these animals to find them their furever homes. Adopters undergo a thorough adoption process before any adoption is finalized. All potential adopters complete an adoption application including a vet check, (to ensure past and present pets have been vaccinated ) as well as a home visit to ensure it is a safe environment for the pet. For the safety of the kittens and cats in our care we adopt out to INDOOR HOMES ONLY.
We strongly believe in Prevention, Education, and Awareness.
Preventing over population by spaying and neutering.
Educating, rather than discriminating misunderstood breeds.
Awareness of the number of pets that are euthanized daily while waiting for homes in the United States
