Kittens and puppies are adorable.  Kittens and puppies brought into public Animal Control facilities/pounds have no longer time to stay alive than adults.  In 7-10 days, entire litters must be killed due to lack of space.  If they show any sign of illness, that time will be shortened.  If these litters are 'owner surrenders' they can be killed the same day if there is no room for them.  Spaying and neutering pets is the key to stopping this.  But until that happens, we have a critical situation.

We desparately need more foster homes to help with puppies.  We also began working with a small number of cats and kittens late in 2012, and can also use assistance with kittens. 

One of our missions is "OPT to save lives".  That is O(operation) P(puppy) T(transport).  We have been working with several no-kill rescues in NJ, CT and MA who are willing to take some of ours into their rescues.   The task of getting them from here to there is very daunting and there are some wonderful folks in our area who make the trip almost weekly to get animals from our area (Amherst Co., Campbell Co., Halifax Co.) to these groups.  This takes time, commitment and a signifcant amount of money.

If you would like to support this effort, please send your tax deductible donations to All-American Mutt Rescue and indicate that you want your donation to be used toward the transport effort.

All the people involved in these efforts are volunteers and all expenses are paid out-of-pocket.  Your support will be greatly appreciated.
