Wolf Trap Animal Rescue

Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (WTAR) is an established not-for-profit 501(c)(3) business that currently operates to facilitate means of transport, foster, and adoption of rescued pets. Our program works to rescue pets who are at risk of neglect, homelessness, and euthanasia from shelters & communities in states of the South.

Wolf Trap Animal Rescue (WTAR) focuses efforts on rescuing high-risk animals from euthanasia, neglect, and abuse. These animals primarily come from Mississippi, where young animals are euthanized by the hundreds each and every day due to overpopulation. Lack of spay-neuter laws and large sections of rural land allow for free-roaming animals to reproduce, leading to a surplus of neglected, homeless, and starving puppies and kittens. These animals are then found and brought to local animal shelters, which simply cannot provide the care or homes these pets need in order to survive. Ultimately, they get euthanized for space or for illnesses contracted at the shelter.
