Every animal deserves the chance to live free from unnecessary suffering.
Founded in 2011, Animals In Need Rescue Network was built on a simple belief: every animal deserves compassion, protection, and the opportunity to live a healthy life.
For more than 17 years, we have worked tirelessly to rescue animals in crisis, reduce the suffering caused by pet overpopulation, and support the people who are on the front lines helping animals every day.
Our work extends far beyond traditional rescue.
We rescue.
We prevent suffering.
We educate.
We connect.
We empower.
Whether someone discovers an abandoned kitten, an injured cat, an overwhelmed colony caregiver, or simply doesn't know where to turn after finding an animal in need, our mission is
simple:
Find a solution. Save a life.
What makes AINRN different?
The word "Network" is more than our name.
It is our philosophy.
Every day, trappers, independent rescuers, rescue organizations, foster volunteers, and members of the public contact us because they have found an animal in need but don't know where to turn.
In some cases, we rescue the animal ourselves.
Other times, we provide veterinary care or financial assistance.
We help with spay/neuter and TNR.
We place animals into one of our foster homes, where they receive the care they need before finding loving adoptive families.
And when another organization is better equipped to help, we connect that animal with a trusted rescue that has the resources to give them the best possible chance.
Because saving lives has never been about who receives the credit.
It's about making sure animals receive the help they desperately need.
We believe collaboration saves more lives than competition ever could.
That is why we are called Animals In Need Rescue Network.
Our Founder
Christine Brown has been a sales and marketing professional for the last 20 years. She is successfully applying her marketing experience to help animals in need. Christine currently has two rescue cats of her own and is currently providing rehabilitation to AINRN's first rescued horse named Emerson. She has been a hunter/jumper rider since she was a child.
"My passion and love for animals has manifested into this organization where my motivation is to rescue as many animals as I can, and to empower the people who want to help them."
Christine created Animals In Need Rescue Network with the help of volunteers, other rescue organizations, friends and donors in 2011. AINRN currently holds spay and neuter clinics 2 to 5 times per month, providing free services to hundreds of cats and dogs in need, and the people who love them.
"My goal is to help as many animals as possible by providing free spay/neuter, vet care, TNR, (Trap/Neuter /Return), public education, fostering, adoptions, rehoming friendly cats and dogs and saving them from the streets, saving horses from kill buyers and or dangerous situations, and transferring animals to other rescues."
Empower
We believe saving animals is a community effort.
Every day we help independent rescuers, trappers, colony caregivers, and members of the public
who have found an animal in need but lack the knowledge, financial resources, veterinary access,
or rescue connections to help on their own.
We connect people with trusted rescue partners.
We build relationships that save lives.
When we empower one compassionate person, we multiply the number of animals that can be
helped.
