We at Lincoln Pet Volunteers believe in a compassionate, personalized approach to animal rescue. Our mission is to provide a safe, loving environment for pets in need while connecting them with families who can offer a forever home.

As a foster-based organization, we work differently from traditional animal shelters. Instead of housing pets in a facility, our animals live in the homes of dedicated volunteers who offer individualized care and attention.

This foster-based model allows us to learn about each animal’s personality, needs, and preferences in a home setting. It gives us invaluable insight into their behavior, which helps us make the best match possible between pets and potential adopters. By getting to know our animals closely, we can provide you with detailed, first-hand information about their temperament, habits, and what kind of environment they thrive in.

Shelters often face challenges due to limited space and resources, and this is where we come in.

We partner with local shelters to take in animals that may need extra care or might not be ready for immediate adoption. These pets may require time, training, or medical treatment before they find their forever homes.

Our foster families step in to give them the love, support, and rehabilitation they need.

When you choose to adopt from Lincoln Pet Volunteers, you’re not just getting a pet — you’re joining a community. We take the time to understand your lifestyle, preferences, and expectations to ensure that we match you with a pet that fits your family perfectly. This focus on compatibility means that our adoption process may take a bit longer, but it also ensures a better, lasting bond between you and your new furry friend.

Our goal is not just to find homes for pets but to create loving, lifelong matches. We believe in quality over speed, prioritizing the right fit over a quick adoption.

With Lincoln Pet Volunteers, you get ongoing support throughout the adoption process, as well as guidance to help you and your new pet adjust to life together.

By fostering a relationship-based approach, we aim to reduce the chances of pets being returned or abandoned. We are here to make sure that every adoption is a success story — for both the pet and the family.

Together, we can create a brighter future for animals in need.
