Making new best friends since 1977.
Since 1977, Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet has been rescuing, sheltering, and rehoming thousands of dogs and cats across Northwest Ohio. As a no-kill, non-profit, we’re dedicated to making sure no animal goes unloved.
Adopting is one of the best things you can do.
When you adopt, you’re not just giving a deserving animal a home.
You’re also reducing the demand for puppy mills and other industrial-scale breeding operations that put profit before animal welfare.
Our Mission
We believe every companion animal deserves a safe, responsible, and permanent home. Simply put: no animal homeless, no animal unloved, and no animal neglected.

Located at 4315 Heatherdowns Blvd, Toledo, OH , Nine Lives Resale Shop offers household items, collectibles and more!
Donations are accepted during store hours, so save all those things you no longer need! With your support we plan to have one of the best resale shops in the area.
Today, with more than 450 active members, our open-to-the-public shelter and foster program continue to change lives, both human and animal.
Over the years, we’ve placed thousands of cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens into loving, permanent homes.
We understand surrendering a pet is difficult.
Contact us for compassionate assistance and to learn the best option for you and your animal.
If you can no longer care for your pet, Maumee Valley Save-A-Pet is here to help. We accept surrenders when space and resources allow and offer guidance to make the transition as smooth as possible for you and your animal.
