MagicMission
Magic''s Mission is a nonprofit dog rescue in Western New York. Their goal is to save dogs from abuse, neglect, and kill shelters. Inspired by Magic, a senior, 3-legged rescue dog who passed away from cancer in October 2015, this group focuses on senior and special needs dogs, as well as hound dogs.
Key Features
Magic''s Mission is a foster-based rescue. Dogs live in foster homes across upstate New York, including Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, and nearby areas. They provide medical care, spay/neuter surgery, age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipping before adoption. Their motto is "the last picked for the team is first place in our hearts."
Benefits
Magic''s Mission gives every dog a chance at love and life. They offer a rewarding fostering experience with support and guidance throughout the process. This encourages more people to foster, allowing the rescue to save more dogs.
Use Cases
Adopting a dog from Magic''s Mission ensures that the dog has received necessary medical care and vaccinations. Fostering a dog provides a temporary home and care while the rescue finds a permanent adoptive family. The rescue''s focus on senior and special needs dogs, as well as hound breeds, offers a unique opportunity to support and care for these specific types of dogs.
Cost/Price
Adoption fees cover spay/neuter surgery and age-appropriate vaccinations.
Funding
The rescue relies on fundraisers and dog adoptions for funding, as they do not receive government grants.
Reviews/Testimonials
Many fosters find the experience so fulfilling that they choose to adopt their foster dogs, a phenomenon known as a "foster fail." Prospective adopters can apply through the application found on their website or Facebook page.
