We are a 501 (c) 3 organization and your donation is fully tax deductible as far as the current law allows. The group is named after Katy Bishop, a great animal person, who was taken from her family and friends at an early age, due to illness. We are located in Bay County, Michigan. Our mission is helping homeless animals - both dogs and cats - with rescue (both life-threatening and non-threatening situations), medical care, vaccinations, fostering, rehabilitation and placement in permanent loving homes. To remove said animals from breeding cycle through sterilization surgery, there by, helping the community with pet over-population problem and maintaining good health and safety practices for the animals through vaccinations against diseases. We find new homes for many wonderful dogs and cats of all ages and sizes, both mixed breeds and purebreds. Our adoption procedures include screening and home visits of potential adopters. The organization does not have a shelter so pets are housed in private foster homes where they receive loving care until they are adopted into responsible and loving homes. All donations go directly to aid animals in need. Expenses are kept to a minimum. We may not be able to change the world but we can change the life of each dog or cat that we Rescue.
