Jackson County Animal Shelter

501(c)(3) non-profit Tina's K9 Rescue and Animal Sanctuary has a no kill philosophy. founded with the intention of removing abandoned dogs and cats from local governments and people who are unable to maintain a pet,

On November 25, 2005, we welcomed the general public and had one cat up for adoption. People and organizations in the neighborhood who were committed to assuring the care of the animals we serve provided the land, the building's materials, and the labor necessary to create it. We made the decision to be a no-kill shelter, and we are still doing so today.

Cat and dog care and adoption are the main goals of the private nonprofit organization CCHS. Our mission is to aid cats and dogs who have been abandoned, lost, or who have been rejected and unloved.

In April 2010, Chasing Daylight Animal Shelter, Inc. was founded. Doors unlocked on June 20, 2011. The name was selected to represent a "brighter tomorrow" for both our pets and the people who love them.

Kim Abbs and Kathy Cipriani are the organizations' founding members. We just had a vague notion of what a rescue entailed when we arrived with a small group of pals. We lacked resources and elaborate preparations, but we did have commitment. We wanted to approach this rescue differently because we had volunteered for another one. Thus, Last Paw Rescue was founded on December 20, 2012! Since it was like giving something life, we say "birth"!
