Our Mission

Dolly's Legacy Animal Rescue's mission is to save orphaned and abandoned pets from overcrowded shelters where they are out of time & out of hope to make it out alive. Far too many pets are facing a cruel death at high-intake, high-kill animal control facilities, some still using a gas chamber as a means of euthanasia. We rescue dogs, puppies, cats & kittens, and place them into loving foster homes while they receive all the vet care needed, including spay/neuter, heartworm testing & treatment, vaccinations, microchipping, treatment for parasites, surgical intervention, and hospitalization.

DOLLY'S LEGACY ANIMAL RESCUE is a foster-based rescue group. All funds donated go towards our rescue efforts and the orphaned pets in our care. We are a federally registered 501(c)3 non-profit charitable organization and a licensed Animal Rescue with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. We are a member of the Nebraska Rescue Council and an approved rescue with AdoptaPet.com and Petfinder.com. We are a member of Petco Foundation, a PetSmart Charities partner, and Silver Star rated with GuideStar.
