Anthem Pets Animal Rescue

Our Mission: Anthem Pets is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, rescue organization dedicated to reuniting lost pets with their owners and rescuing homeless and abandoned dogs and cats. By working with committed volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, and trainers we are able to assist hundreds of animals every year, provide them with veterinary care and find well-matched, loving forever homes.

It all started with a sick and elderly cocker spaniel dumped at an Anthem park, which was the last straw for resident, Barbara Ward-Windgassen. This wasn't the first pet she had helped, and there seemed to be no end of dogs and cats in need. Barbara invested everything she could, and with the help of the community she founded Anthem Pets in 2005.

Sadly, Barbara lost her battle with cancer, but her dream lives on. Anthem Pets has grown with dedicated volunteers and fosters working 365 days a year and through their efforts abused and abandoned animals get a second chance, and many lost pets are reunited with their owners.

When a pet becomes our responsibility, it receives a wellness check-up, is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered. It then stays with a foster until it is adopted. Some found pets are sick or injured and we work with our veterinary partners to determine the best course of treatment for these animals.

Because we do not have a shelter, fosters are essential to the rescue. Many of these families become what we lovingly call "Foster Failures", which means they've adopted the pet they were fostering. While we have some dedicated fosters, we always need more, especially during the spring kitten season when the need is urgent. Please join this dedicated group of animal lovers!
