We are an animal rescue organization. Our goal is to safely re-home animals. We assist the pets in high kill shelters and at risk pets. SPRI is a group of volunteers. We work together to help the animals and we rely on the help of people like you so donations are always welcome. Donations can be monetary as well as items such as food and treats, old towels, bleach, dog and cat supplies etc. We are approved by the IRS as a 501c3 public charity, and registered with the State of CT as a non-profit organization.
We hear people ask why it is so difficult to get an animal from a rescue. We do check on the families who would like to adopt and here is why. These animals have been failed before and in a lot of cases they have been abused or neglected. We are doing our best to ensure they will be in a forever home, safe and loved. Once your application is in, we review your application by calling the references and do some background checking. From your responses, we decide if the particular animal will do well in your home. If all this checks out, we will do a home check and a meet and greet with your whole family. Sometimes we get a lot of applications on each animal. We can only choose one family for each animal and it is not an easy decision. If you are not chosen for a particular animal, and you are approved, you may adopt another animal that is ether in our rescue or a future one.
