This rescue is primarily run by one person, Sandra (myself), with volunteers that help care for the animals in the facility.  I personally work with all animals in rehab and quarantine, and I personally work through most of the emotional issues at my home before they move to the facility.  All adoptions are done by me personally, and I take great pride in finding that perfect fit based on energy and compatibility of pet to human.

WHERE WE ARE: The rescue facility, where we house the adoptable and ready-to-go dogs and cats, is located at 524 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd, aka 12th street, in West Palm Beach, FL 33401. The building is the Orange square building on SW corner (only building on block).

Please bear with us, as the animals are not always updated on PetFinder as quickly as we may like.  Please feel free to ask about others that may be available that are not listed.

HOURS: Due to the amount of care needed for these animals, we have set “Open House” hours at the facility where anyone can come see the aniamsl for adoption on  Saturdays ONLY from 2:15 to 4:15.  Sundays we are usually at off site events, usually in Delray at Petsmart on Linton. All other times are by appointment only and there are available time slots due to the rotations of the dogs schedules and how our facility is set up.  Any appointment can be made between 10:30am and 12pm; 2:15pm and 4pm; or 6:15pm-8pm.  We have a lighted facility outside so evening are not bad. Other options are available for a specific pet/pets at a local dog park or at your own home. WE CAN COME TO YOU!

MISSION STATEMENT: MisFit ResQ, is a non profit-501c3 animal rescue that focuses primarily on the animals that would not have a chance, many of which are highly adoptable dogs or cats, with emotional issues, abandonment, or medical setbacks that just need working out. We focus on the “underdogs”, the ones with broken bones, behavioral blocks, or mommies with puppies; typically the ones closest to euthanasia. The animals brought into MisFit ResQ’s program may have been found, abandoned, or surrendered to a high kill shelter, where their chances of adoption are less than average. It is our focus to maintain good health and good emotional well being, while developing them into wonderful loving adoptable companions.

OUR SPECIALTIES: MisFit ResQ focuses on the ‘least likely’ adoptable dogs from high kill shelters, mainly MDAS, and rehabilitates them from their ‘issues’.  Some have broken bones, severe skin issues, neurological needs, are (fear) biters or other medical needs that place them into less viewable areas of te shelter, some where the public doesnt have access.  In Miami Dade Animal Services many are are given a very short time to find a new home, Owenr surrenders can be PTS (put to sleep) at any given moment upon intake. Many have emotional issues because of fear, sadness, depression and anxiety, which puts tem at a higher risk of early euthanasia.  MisFit ResQ feels that most animals in such an environment are acting on their conditions, and the energy of the facility.  What may appear to be unadoptable to one, MisFit feels the complete opposite.   ALL animals are adoptable given the right opportunity.  Many times animals end up in shelters because the energy of the human and the personality of the dog or cat, JUST DONT FIT.  MisFit ResQ is dedicated to finding that perfect fit.

EDUCATION: Misfit ResQ Inc. will also be doing education seminars and workshops on the importance of spay/neuter, and vaccinations.   We also offer information regarding treatment of skin problems, homeopathic remedies, acupuncture, and other assorted “outside the box”  treatments for the best possible overall care of your pet.  We ARE NOT vets, but given the experience I have learned over 15 years and the experience of my colleagues, we have managed to find some amazing remedies.

COMMUNITY SERVICE: We are available for school credits or other community service hours, as we are a non profit 501(c)3 recognized charity.   Community service hours would be on the weekends to help during adoption events.  Sundays from 12:30-3:30 or by prior arrangements.

FOSTER TO ADOPT: This is a program we offer that many rescues don’t.  We feel that in order to have the “perfect fit”, that fit needs to be based on a trial run.  We offer 1-4 week times to allow your potential adoption to mke its “fit”  We ask that you give it no less than one week, as that is the time it usually takes for a dog (cats can be longer)  to adjust to their new surroundings.  Out dog are currently crate trained, and we ask that during the trial, the potential adopter continue to keep the training, if for some reason things dont work out, then their training has not been swayed.  We can provide a temporary kennel if needed, and will retrieve any articles borrowed during the TRIAL time.  Leashes, collars or harnesses are included for trial, and can be purchased at the time of adoption or returned.
