Rescue Me Tucson

A wonderful environment for the animals. You can tell that the hard working volunteers really love & care for the animals. Fun pet retail items for your pets too so you can Shop Local !

update, I did hear from organization and even went through volunteer training. after training day I was told I did a very good job and then never heard another word from them. three weeks after my training I sent an email suggesting it would be a nice courtesy if they let people know if they're not really needed. got a response less than professional back. if they treat their animals they way they treat people I feel sorry for the pets. very disorganized and extreme poor communication. I think they need a new volunteer coordinator, one who can keep track of things and actually respond. owners should know what's going on, or maybe they do.

They let you come in see the cats or the dogs be a part of their life. Just you to get attached and then tell you that cat or that dog belongs to someone else. My thing is why don't you just put a tag on top saying someone else is adopting this cat or dog so you don't get your feelings involve no I will not be adopted anymore animals fromthis shelter.

This ALL VOLUNTEER organization does a fantastic job of working with their partner shelters (mostly quite rural), housing and caring for the cats and dogs in their rescue. The volunteers and especially the founders, work non-stop to tend to their #1 responsibility: the animals in their care. Adoptions are frequent and new rescues come in practically every week. All adoption fees are set by the animal's home shelter, many of which don't get any public funding and rely solely on adoptions and donations to survive. I've adopted two cats and one dog to add to my pack and I was very impressed with the professionalism, thorough vetting, and advice. They always need volunteers so if you've applied and haven't heard anything, give them a break! Send an e-mail, a text, a FB or IG message. They're good-hearted people who work around the clock, no matter the heat. You'll be paid in endless love from the animals and go home with a full heart. If you can't adopt or volunteer, check out their retail offerings: collar, leashes, harnesses, engraved tags, toys galore, homemade treats from Dogs and Doughnuts, and more. The retail sales help support their financial needs like rent, vet bills, adoption events, and more. Plus, the retail prices are better than I've seen in the big box pet stores. Check them out and lend your support...you won't regret it!

I was so excited when this rescue opened. I have a very high functioning autistic 28 year old son who works very well with animals. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity for my son to serve his community in some way, have fun and get out of the house.I asked Nancy about volunteering and she seemed put off by my son's disability. I thought I could help put her issues at ease by introducing her to my son and showing her that his disability would not get in the way of his volunteering and I would be will him every moment of the time he was at the rescue per her request. She told me to fill out the forms online and she would get back to me.Both my son and I felt she was trying to suggest he volunteer elsewhere but this rescue is a small one and is perfect for his needs. He spent a lot of time there trying to convince her he would be okay helping out there. On our way home, he told me she wouldn't respond to our applications. One more person who only sees a disability and not the person. Sure enough, at the beginning of February I filled out the forms and guess what? No response.Shame on you! You rescue animals but you won't give people with a disability a chance?! It is your loss! My son and I would have been excellent volunteers. I just want people to know that you showed my son no compassion. You looked at him and treated him like he had a contagious disease. You proved once again how rotten people can be when I keep trying to tell him there are good people in the world.I'm sad for you. I hope some day your eyes will open and so will your heart. In the mean time, I need to try once again to fix the damage you have done.
