Open Arms Rescue Of WNY
Our Mission
Open Arms Rescue of WNY is a small, grass roots type of rescue group. We are all volunteer, non-paid members who have all been involved in rescue for years. These members include local business owners, community members and loving foster families who all share a common goal.
Our mission is to save our 4-legged friends from either locally unwanted situations, or from kill shelters to place them into loving forever homes. We are a non-profit organization with federal 501c3 status and funded solely on donations and fundraising. OARWNY is a 100% pro spay/neuter rescue.
