Our Mission

​

​At RESCUES ON8TH, we are dedicated to building a world where every FAM Furry Family Member is cherished, healthy, and secure. Our mission is to provide comprehensive support to FAMs and their families. We strive to eliminate FAM hunger through our food & supply pantry, offer essential veterinary services including spay and neuter programs, and facilitate compassionate care for lost or deceased pets. Our goal is to foster responsible care, reduce FAM homelessness, and prevent unnecessary euthanasia by ensuring every pet receives the care and love they deserve. Together, we work to create a community where the welfare of FAMs is a shared and honored commitment. ​

​

Our Vision

​

We envision a future where every FAM Furry Family Member is recognized as a equal part of both families and society having a life filled with dignity, love, comprehensive care and benefits

 

To reshape societies perspectives of identification, labels, and associating "PETS" under ownership, but equally respected with the same rights and benefits as humans. Such as income tax credits for expense incurs for their care, access to government funded healthcare insurance, where they live in households that has financial difficulties, monthly stipends cards for food expenses, burial benefits, stricter laws and sentencing on abuse and utilization of exploitation, such as animal fighting events, etc.

WHAT WE BELIEVE 
 

We are driven by a profound belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every animal. Our mission is founded on the following core principles:

​

-Compassion and Care: We believe that every FAM (Family Member) deserves a loving home, proper nourishment, and access to essential veterinary care. Ensuring their well-being is our top priority.

-Preventative Action: We are committed to reducing pet overpopulation and preventing unnecessary suffering through proactive measures like spaying and neutering.

- Empowerment Through Education: By providing families and caregivers with vital resources and knowledge, we empower them to offer the best possible care for their furry family members.

- Respect for Life: We believe in treating all FAMs, including lost or deceased pets, with the utmost respect and dignity, helping families find peace and closure during difficult times.

- Community Collaboration: Building a compassionate community through collaboration and volunteer engagement is essential to our mission, as it strengthens our network of support for all FAMs.

- Re-identification and Respect: We believe in reidentifying the label "pets" changing it to FAMs (Family Members), as the word pets are shown as a term many see as ownership of an object, which then forms a separation of a species of the two (i.e. Human-animal bond). By re-identifying we believe to shift the perspective recognizing FAMs as family members, a life to care for just as you would welcome an adoptive child into a home, it is forever bond.

​

Together, through dedication, education, and collaboration, we strive to create a world where every FAM is valued, loved, and given the opportunity to thrive.
