Founded in 2009, Bow-Wow & Meow Rescue Castle is a non-profit and Springfield's only no-kill animal shelter. Since it's opening Bow-Wow & Meow Rescue Castle has placed an estimated 18,000 homeless cats and dogs in new households. They work in conjunction with the Animal Rescue League location services to locate the original owners of lost pets as well as finding new homes for abandoned animals. Bow-Wow & Meow Rescue Castle relies on donations from United Way, private donations, and volunteers to operate this facility.
Where do these animals come from? 40% are owner surrenders and the other 60% are animals we rescue from shelters that euthanize. We have a dedicated staff of 15 (half are part-time). And our 200-plus volunteers are our backbone (thank you volunteers and donors!). Many of the rescued animals who come to Pets to Go get more love and attention in our shelter than they've ever known before. Our shelter continues to grow and improve. Drop by and get to know us better.
