The purposes of SAR include: 1) to temporarily provide quality medical and daily care and rehabilitation to needy cats and dogs until suitable permanent homes can be found; and 2) to promote, support and collaborate with efforts to improve quality of life for animals in our local community, those served by regional advocacy groups, and those animals needing aid through worldwide rescue operations. It is our intent to meet and exceed all regulations and guidelines applicable to our nonprofit rescue organization, to constantly improve the services we provide, to promote volunteerism, to abide by fiscally responsible business practices, and to engage in appropriate fundraising efforts in order to remain financially solvent.
