OUR MISSION
At Smiley's Rescue, we advocate for the safety and health of animals. We are the voice of the unhoused, injured, sick, neglected, and abused. We provide sanctuary to abused animals, animals who come to us from unsafe conditions, and animals who have complex health and medical needs.
We take our name from Smiley, founder Sid's childhood cat. As he was there for her, we vow to be there to provide love and a voice to animals in dire need. Everyone deserves their version of a Smiley.
Smiley's Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit.

OUR PASSION:
Welcome & thank you for your interest!My name is Sid Williams, and I am the founder and director of Smiley's Rescues. I have always had a passion for saving/helping animals. When I was 9, I adopted my childhood cat Smiley. He helped me through very tough times, and I will be forever grateful. Sadly, he passed away in 2019 at age 10 when he lost his battle with kidney disease. I always knew I wanted to do something great in his honor.
Fast forward to now - We started Smiley's Rescues in 2021 and have helped more than 793 animals. I am so proud and grateful to the people that have helped us. "Our team consists of myself, my daughter (#1 volunteer), & husband Jordan (construction extraordinaire.) We also have three dogs and a number of permanent cats - some with health issues that make them more difficult candidates for adoption.
