Our Mission

Wright-Way Rescue has been a pioneer in the field of animal welfare for over 19 years when we began rescuing homeless animals from underserved, rural areas and finding them loving forever homes. The problem of pet overpopulation in Rural America is dire and virtually undocumented, and we believe that helping these remote communities is critical to the national No-Kill movement. We work with over 100 rescue partners throughout the rural US to saves and provides resources for well over 5,000 lives every year on approximately 10% of the budget of similarly sized organizations. We are committed to stretching every donated “dollar” as far as it can go.
