Well, since I'm the former prez (for 5 years) and current VP, I'd have to say my favorite rescue is the Humane Society of Houma-Terrebonne. I'm probably VERY biases, but I'm very proud of the enormous volume of rescues we've been responsible for - both in our organization and coordinating with the local parish-owned animal shelter and other local and regional rescue organizations. We've found homes for dogs and cats all over the U.S. (we're in Louisiana) including Nebraska, Oregon, New Jersey, Delaware, New Mexico, Mississippi, Florida and Texas to name just a few! In the last 5 years I have personally fostered almost 100 dogs and cats and our organization has directly fostered and adopted approx. 250 dogs and cats. We make sure they are all vaccinated, health checked, treated for heartworms and spayed and neutered before (or directly after) they are adopted. Nothing in my life has been more rewarding. I get paid absolutely nothing - but would devote my entire day to it, 7 days a week, if I could.
