Rescue Village

Rescue Village is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and animal welfare agency. All funding comes from private donations, private foundations, corporate sponsorships, fees for services from adoptions, education programs, or special fundraising events. Rescue Village’s lifesaving programs and services are made possible by the ongoing generosity of people who make contributions of money, time, and supplies. Every year, over 2,000 animals come through the shelter’s doors. All shelter animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated before adoption. It takes a staff of more than 30 people and hundreds of volunteers to ensure that Rescue Village is a shelter that everyone can be proud of and provides animals the quality of care they need and deserve. Rescue Village also offers low-cost spay/neuter services for stray and feral cats through its TNR program and owned dogs and cats through a partnership with PetFix of Northeast Ohio. Rescue Village employs humane officers to enforce Ohio’s animal protection laws at no cost to the taxpayers of Geauga County.
