Connecting loving homes with pets in need. Your new best friend is waiting for you.
At Thinking Outside The Cage, we are dedicated to transforming lives—both human and animal—through compassionate rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption services. Founded in 2010, our core mission is to provide safe haven for abandoned, abused, and neglected pets while matching them with loving, forever homes.
We envision a community where no pet is left homeless, every animal receives proper care, and pet ownership is approached with knowledge, commitment, and love. Our work extends beyond adoption—we strive to create a more humane world through education, advocacy, and community engagement.
Our specific goals include:
We're committed to making the adoption process as smooth and rewarding as possible for both you and your new pet.
Every pet in our care receives the love and attention they deserve, from the moment they arrive until they find their forever home.
All of our pets receive comprehensive veterinary care, including vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, and microchipping.
We provide resources and support to help you become the best pet owner you can be, from training tips to nutrition advice.
Join our community of pet lovers and access ongoing support, events, and resources for you and your new pet.
Our personalized matching process ensures you find the perfect pet companion that fits your lifestyle, home environment, and preferences.
We offer ongoing guidance and support even after adoption, including behavior consultations, training resources, and veterinary referrals.

Max, a playful Golden Retriever, was abandoned and left scared and alone. When he arrived at our shelter, he was shy and hesitant around people. With the love and care from our staff and volunteers, Max slowly began to trust again. Today, Max lives with Sarah and her family, where he enjoys long walks, playing fetch in the backyard, and snuggling with his new human siblings.
Luna was found wandering the streets, malnourished and with matted fur. After months of veterinary care and gentle attention, Luna transformed into the confident, affectionate cat she was always meant to be. Michael adopted Luna last year, and they've been inseparable ever since. Luna now enjoys sunbathing on the windowsill and being the center of attention in her new home.
Bella, a senior Beagle, was surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her. Many people passed her by because of her age, but Robert saw something special in her. He adopted Bella and has provided her with the loving retirement home she deserves. Bella now spends her days napping on the couch, going for short walks in the park, and receiving endless belly rubs from Robert.
