Mission
Mac's Mission "specializes in special." Our focus is on homeless "janky" dogs who are in medical crisis and would die without the life-saving care we are able to provide. Our “all-in” mission is for animals who have suffered at the hands of abuse, gravely injured, or were simply born with a genetic defect. Most shelters and rescues do not have the time or resources to provide specialized care and, unfortunately, many animals are euthanized as a result. Our hope is to give these animals the chance they need to heal and thrive in a nurturing and loving environment. Our goal is to heal them and find the perfect forever family for them to live their best life.
About
We are a tiny but hardworking grassroots rescue based in Jackson, Missouri but we rescue nationwide. We save the ones who need us most. Many are neonatal puppies, (cleft palates/hydrocephalus newborns). We have a very extensive, experienced neonate program. Mac’s Mission is a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit and a Missouri state licensed dog rescue. We have fosters in multiple states and many in the St. Louis area. Our Mission lives by "i am pitbull strong", a federally trademarked registered slogan that we share to help raise funds so we can keep rescuing sick homeless dogs. This phrase is a way of life for us. We rely 100% on donations from our dedicated supporters.
We also help pay for costs by selling merchandise designed by one of our most dedicated volunteers. When you purchase a product in our store you help save sick puppies!!! We can not do this without our generous supporters and we thank you so much for being part of the solution to save these helpless souls.
