Rescue, Sanctuary, Support

Chicken Nugget and Gang
Rescue, Sanctuary & Community Support
Established 2016 and this year, we are taking things to the next level.


A little bit about our rescue: we aren’t a typical animal rescue and it is
not our goal to limit ourselves to being one! The majority of the animals
we work with the small, exotic animals, the ones that the Humane
Societies and other shelters aren’t set up to take. A small portion of
our sanctuary are permanent residents who are either too old or have
been through too much to adopt out. On occasion, we take litters of
puppies or kittens, when we have space and everyone is full. We also
assist with vet bills, pet food, and other unexpected costs that arise
for pet owners. However, we don’t limit ourselves to just pet related
assistance- we strive to be a support system for the community as a
whole, this includes teaming up with other rescues/shelters and other
nonprofits to get things done! We are big on supporting local
businesses, also, along with local businesses that give back to
their community. We try to be a resource and continue to work
on getting to know the other nonprofits and businesses that are like
minded.

We recently started Junior Nuggets for mature young ladies (8-12)
that have a passion for animals and are wanting to learn more about
their care and assist at/for the rescue.

In 2024, we are aiming to reach new heights with our rescue, and part
of this is funding our awesome new adoption and resource center! This
building has been the next big step in helping our community! You can
visit and see the available adoptable animals, without pressure to adopt.

We want it to be a fit for all those involved. Folks are welcome
to set up an appointment and learn more about the care it takes for
these smaller pets. Also, our awesome Therapy Dog, Rock, is always at
the Center to read to from our tiny library. Or, you can shop in our
little shop, Rock’s Retail. We have a kitty, Jerry, that lives at the
Center, also. You never know what you will find when you visit!

Currently, our public location (117 W Elm St, Lebanon) is open on
Saturdays 10-4 and by appointment Mon-Fri. We are working on more
open hours! Follow our Facebook page for constant updates and
information.😊

Every year, approximately 6.5 million pets are adopted and then dumped on the side of a road or at a shelter. Of these, 1.5 million will be euthanized due to overcrowding and lack of funding.
