Our Mission

Rebels Rescue is an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue organization dedicated to facilitating the rescue and rehoming of stray, abandoned, neglected, abused, and surrendered animals from local shelters and in our community. We are not a shelter but a foster-based rescue group.

Rebels Rescue animals are placed with volunteer foster families who generously open their homes to animals in need. Rebels animals are provided with all necessary veterinary care including spay/neuter, microchips and vaccines. All animals are checked for internal parasites, fleas, and ear mites, then given treatments and immunizations as required. Cats are checked for feline leukemia and FIV, dogs and puppies are checked for heartworm, and all animals are treated accordingly.

Adoption Policy

How to Adopt:

1. Once you have found the purrfect match for you and your family, please submit an ADOPTION INQUIRY via our website at WWW.REBELSRESCUE.COM under the "Adopt" tab.

An adoption counselor will respond to your request within 48-72 hours to conduct an interview and arrange a meet and greet!

Adoption events are held every other Saturday at Pet Supermarket in South Tampa {Britton Plaza} from 10a-3p and the 3rd Sunday of every month at Southern Brewing in Seminole Heights from 12p-3p! Visit our website at www.rebelsrescue.com to see all upcoming events!

IMPORTANT: While we do review interest forms submitted through petfinder, we require an adoption inquiry submitted directly through our website to continue the adoption process. The adoption inquiry not only expedites the process, but it helps us gather necessary information, as well as ensures timely communication. We appreciate your understanding.
