We do it for the animals.
Many of these organizations and pet stores do not have the animal's best interest in mind. And by supporting them, we would be supporting the continued abuse/neglect/breeding of these animals.

Rescues we do not partner with but will assist only for the safety and well-being of the animals.
This is due to having experiences with these organizations that have shown us they do not have the animal's best interest in mind. Unfortunately, not all live up to their mission statements. This list includes any organization that disregards animal welfare and rights. We only aim to spread awareness. We understand that many of these groups do their best to provide for the animals in their care and we understand how hard rescue work is. But there are things that have been done that we deem unethical of a rescue to do, therefore we cannot, in good conscious, choose to support them.
- Ginger's Pet Rescue (backyard breeder with criminal background in animal cruelty)
- King Rabbit Microsanctuary (does not provide animals veterinary care, houses in outdoor hutches, breeds rabbits)
- Sunshine and Piggie Kisses Rescue (intentionally breeds and misgenders pigs, does not seek veterinary care)
- Tiny Tales and Scales Rescue (advertised their rescued adoptable rats as "feeders", we believe is unethical practice)
