Wildlife Center of Missouri, a non-profit organization mostly run by volunteers, is a rescue center for sick, injured and orphaned wild animals. Its goal is to rescue the animal, care for it and release it back into the wild if possible.
Anyone looking to adopt a pet should visit Salem's Northeast Animal Shelter, a non-profit agency that does not euthanize animals. The shelter, which opened its new facility in 2008, takes in adoptable dogs and cats surrendered by owners who can no longer care for them, as well as strays found by local officials or rescue groups. In addition, the shelter transports from other states hundreds of homeless dogs that would otherwise be euthanized due to overpopulation. Northeast also rescues satos, mixed breed dogs found wandering the streets of Puerto Rico. Dog and cat adoption fees include spaying/neutering whenever possible. The shelter also participates in community outreach through its Humane Education and Senior Visitation programs.
On Angels' Wings opened in 2005 at the Crystal Lake location. It is a thrift store that sells used clothing, household wares and accessories and donates its proceeds to support animal causes.
