Your Compassionate Partner in Animal Welfare
About Us
Salgo Family Animal Rescue
At Salgo Family Animal Rescue, we are driven by a deep passion for the welfare of animals. Founded with the mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome abandoned, neglected, or at-risk animals, we strive to provide a safe and loving environment for every animal in our care. Our organization was built on the belief that every animal deserves the chance to live a healthy, happy life, and we work tirelessly to make that a reality.
Our Services – Salgo Family Animal Rescue
At Salgo Family Animal Rescue, we provide a wide range of services designed to support the well-being of animals in need, from rescue to rehabilitation and beyond. Our dedicated team works relentlessly to ensure every animal receives the care, attention, and compassion they deserve. Below are the core services we offer to improve the lives of animals and promote responsible pet ownership within our community.
01
Animal Rescue
Our primary service is rescuing animals in need. We respond to urgent situations, such as animals in distress, those found abandoned or neglected, and those in immediate danger. Whether it’s responding to a call for help or collaborating with local authorities, our rescue team is committed to saving lives and giving animals a second chance.
02
Rehabilitation & Medical Care
Once rescued, each animal receives individualized care to help them recover from trauma, illness, or neglect. Our skilled team of veterinarians provides comprehensive medical treatments, including vaccinations, spaying/neutering, injury care, and more. We focus on not just the physical recovery, but also the emotional healing of each animal, ensuring they are ready for a loving home.
03
Fostering Program
Our fostering program is essential to helping animals transition from rescue to adoption. We place animals in temporary, loving homes where they can recover, socialize, and get ready for their forever families. As a foster volunteer, you provide critical support in caring for animals who may need a little extra love and attention before they are ready for adoption.
04
Adoption Services
Our adoption process is designed to ensure that every animal we place finds a loving, responsible home. We carefully match each pet with families based on their needs, personality, and lifestyle. We are proud to be a part of the journey that helps animals find their forever homes, where they can live in safety, comfort, and happiness.
05
Community Education & Advocacy
We believe that education is key to improving the lives of animals. Through workshops, community outreach, and awareness campaigns, we work to educate the public about responsible pet ownership, animal welfare, and the importance of adopting rather than purchasing pets. Our goal is to inspire compassion and drive change in the way we treat animals in our society.
06
Pet Loss Support
Losing a pet is never easy, and we understand the emotional impact it can have on families. Through our Pet Loss Support Program, we offer resources and a compassionate space for individuals and families to grieve and remember their beloved pets. We’re here to support those going through the difficult process of saying goodbye.
Our Mission- Caring for Animals, Creating Futures
At Salgo Family Animal Rescue, we believe that every animal deserves a chance to live a happy and healthy life. Our focus is on providing comprehensive support to animals in distress, whether they have been abandoned, mistreated, or are simply in need of a loving home. Through our dedicated rescue efforts, we aim to:
Rescue
Rescue is where everything begins. We are committed to responding to emergencies and urgent calls for help, rescuing animals in dire situations. Whether it’s an abandoned animal left to fend for itself, one that’s been neglected or abused, or an animal facing imminent danger, we are there to provide a safe and caring solution. Our rescue team works tirelessly to ensure that each animal receives immediate care and protection, offering them a second chance at life.
Rehabilitate
Once rescued, each animal enters our rehabilitation program. Our goal is not just to address the physical needs but also to focus on the emotional and psychological healing that many animals require. Whether recovering from an injury, trauma, or neglect, our team provides the necessary medical treatment, behavior training, and nurturing care to help animals regain their strength, trust, and confidence. Rehabilitation is a vital step in ensuring that animals are healthy, happy, and prepared for the next phase of their journey.
Rehome
The final step in our mission is rehoming—finding the perfect, loving, and responsible family for each animal. Through a careful adoption process, we ensure that each animal is matched with a home where they will thrive and be cherished. Our adoption team works diligently to assess potential adopters, considering factors such as lifestyle, living environment, and compatibility to ensure a successful transition for both the animal and their new family. By rehoming animals, we give them the opportunity to experience the love and security they deserve for the rest of their lives.
