Miss Alli

Miss Alli's is a small rescue that originated in Middle Tennessee and relocated to the Greenville, South Carolina area. We are not a shelter with a facility, but instead our animals are in fostered with volunteers in their homes. Miss Alli's Rescue is dedicated to helping animals who have been neglected, abused, or abandoned, as well as those who have unfortunately found themselves in a shelter. We have a soft spot for the larger dogs because often they are overlooked, and they are the ones most commonly euthanized in the shelters. The Great Pyrenees is one of our favorite breeds. We also have a spot in our hearts that caters to senior and special needs animals. We see fabulous animals who can live good lives so often tossed aside, overlooked or forgotten due to age and extra physical or emotional needs. We enjoy working with these animals and love to watch them grow, improve, or simply learn to be happy. However, we love all animals, all shapes and sizes, and will not turn our noses up to any that need assistance. We adore them all.

Our goal is to properly care for the animal both physically and emotionally, no matter what it takes, so that he or she is given a second chance on life. We work hard and give all of our love. Our motto doesn't focus on "We can't save them all..." Instead it focuses on "..but we sure can try."

Mission Statement

Miss Alli’s Rescue is committed to saving and protecting animals facing euthanasia, abandonment, disaster, or life as a stray and placing them in dedicated, caring homes or our sanctuary for the remainder of their lives. As a rescue we are devoted to granting proper and complete veterinary, behavioral and emotional support in order to give the animals the protection and care that they deserve. We offer a chance for animals most often ignored due to size, breed, health, age or appearance, promoting more awareness of the variety of animals in need, while providing the animals with a renewed life. With love, commitment, and public education, we strive to end overpopulation, as well as end unacceptable care or abuse in the lives of animals.

Future Goals

At Miss Alli's, we have big dreams. We see more and more animals saved and loved, we see less euthanasia and and end to it b/c of overcrowding, and we see an increase in education of proper animal care. This, unfortunately, will not happen overnight, and sadly, euthanasia due to overcrowding and lack of feelings for a pet will most likely never end. However, we still strive daily to improve the lives of animals in all of these areas and will continue to do so.

One day Miss Alli's hopes to be even bigger and better. Small as we may be right now, we hope to one day have a grand facility that cares for and homes unwanted animals. We have pictures in our minds of how it will look, how it will be administered, and how many animals will be happy and safe. We would like to help other types of animals in addition to dogs and cats. We hope that by working hard, proving our hearts and goals, and further educating ourselves we will one day have this facility. We aim for it being the best of the best, the safest of the safest, and one who provides more love than can be imagined. One that will be an interim for animals until they find their forever family, and one that will be a home for those that are "unadoptable" yet good animals, as well as those that are simply passed by. We love to care for these animals, and we love making them happy. We will work every day to improve and give our very best to them. One day we hope that our proposed facility will be one way of giving back to them what they need and so very well deserve.

We may not be able to save them all....but we sure can try!
