About us...

Welcome to our brand new website.  We have teamed up with Rescuegroups.org to help us get the word out to you about our homeless pets.  We hope you enjoy our site and, possibly, find the companion of a lifetime!

Recycled Pets, Inc. was founded by Teri McAllister in 2000.  It is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization run solely by volunteers.  We are dedicated to the rescue and adoption of unwanted pets.  Recycled Pets, Inc. places a strong emphasis on spay/neuter programs and we've recently received a grant to implement a low cost spay/neuter program of our own.  (See our new Spay/Neuter Info Page!)  All of our rescued animals are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

We are an all breed rescue, therefore you may find a happy-go-lucky Heinz 57 or a purebred cocker spaniel or an angora cat or a pretty little tabby.  They're all special in their own way and we hope you think so too!  Each and every animal that we rescue has a home with us until they find that special someone to adopt them.  We are a no-kill shelter and are committed to caring for the pets in our care in the best manner possible.

Note from website volunteer:  Teri is a spunky, work-a-holic that goes non-stop in the care of these animals.  She is a groomer and can make the gnarliest looking dog look like a million bucks.  We have taken dogs destined for euthanasia at the local pound because they looked (and smelled) just awful and turned them into beautiful well-loved pets in their new adoptive homes.  She is up with the birds to be sure they get out and are fed; she stays up with them half the night if they are sick; she rushes home from work to let them out and clean their kennels; and she cries if they pass over the Rainbow Bridge.  It is this dedication and undying love of our furry, four-legged friends that fuels Recycled Pets, Inc.  There is no better champion to homeless animals.
