We have a small cat sanctuary but are otherwise non-sheltered. We are dedicated to providing Humane Education and promoting Spaying and Neutering to the public. We provide Medical and general care as well as spay and neuter to the animals in our foster home or rescue network and seek permanent homes for adoptable pets.

Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?

No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

1. Feral Cat TNR Program

Many communities are embracing Trap, Neuter, Release programs (TNR) to improve animal welfare, reduce death rates, and meet obligations to public welfare.

2. High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Low cost, high volume spay/neuter will quickly lead to fewer animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.

3. Rescue Groups

An adoption or transfer to a rescue group frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, killing, and improves a community's rate of lifesaving. In an environment of millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually, rare is the circumstance in which a rescue group should be denied an animal.

4. Foster Care

Volunteer foster care is crucial to No Kill. Without it, saving lives is compromised. It is a low cost, and often no cost, way of increasing a shelter's capacity, improving public relations, increasing a shelter's public image, rehabilitating sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and saving lives.

5. Comprehensive Adoption Programs

Adoptions are vital to an agency's lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management's hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. In fact, studies show people get their animals from shelters only 20% of the time. If shelters better promoted their animals and had adoption programs responsive to the needs of the community, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing, they could increase the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

6. Pet Retention

While some of the reasons animals are surrendered to shelters are unavoidable, others can be prevented-but only if shelters are willing to work with people to help them solve their problems. Saving animals requires communities to develop innovative strategies for keeping people and their companion animals together. And the more a community sees its shelters as a place to turn for advice and assistance, the easier this job will be.

7. Medical and Behavior Programs

In order to meet its commitment to a lifesaving guarantee for all savable animals, shelters need to keep animals happy and healthy and keep animals moving through the system. To do this, shelters must put in place comprehensive vaccination, handling, cleaning, socialization, and care policies before animals get sick and rehabilitative efforts for those who come in sick, injured, unweaned, or traumatized.

8. Public Relations/Community Involvement

Increasing adoptions, maximizing donations, recruiting volunteers and partnering with community agencies comes down to one thing: increasing the shelter's exposure. And that means consistent marketing and public relations. Public relations and marketing are the foundation of all a shelter's activities and their success. To do all these things well, the shelter must be in the public eye.

9. Volunteers

Volunteers are a dedicated "army of compassion" and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. There is never enough staff, never enough dollars to hire more staff, and always more needs than paid human resources. That is where volunteers come in and make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.

10. Proactive Redemptions

One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Sadly, besides having pet owners fill out a lost pet report, very little effort is made in this area of shelter operations. This is unfortunate because doing so-primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach-has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

11. A Compassionate Director

The final element of the No Kill equation is the most important of all, without which all other elements are thwarted-a hard working, compassionate animal control or shelter director not content to regurgitate tired cliches or hide behind the myth of "too many animals, not enough homes." Unfortunately, this one is also oftentimes the hardest one to demand and find.

I have a Cocker Spaniel that followed me home on Saturday on W. Tokay in Lodi, August 21st. He had no collar/tags. I walked him around the neighborhood a few times now and had no luck finding an owner. He is old and he needs to be seen by a vet. I have a vet appointment for him on Wednesday, August 25th, and will get him whatever he needs (shots, antibiotics, etc.) I am renting right now and cannot keep him per the landlord. He is the sweetest dog, with no aggression issues at all. I cleaned his ears and it was painful for him but he never tried to bite me, he never once growled at me, nothing. He just wants to be loved. He does however need to learn some manners or he may be deaf, not sure yet, will know more after the vet visit. I do have him posted on 209 Lost and found pets and Next door under Stephanie Lodi. I don't have a next-door account. I have had him scanned for a microchip. No chip found. The vet thinks he's either a King Charles or Englis Cocker Spaniel, but definitely a pure bread Cocker Spaniel. Please contact me at 209-747-6145 Debbie Salaices 209-747-6145 [email protected]

A young sweet cat landed at our door very pregnant. We only had a good sized bathroom to house her in where she had 6 kittens, now 9 weeks old. My husband and I are both disabled, already have 5 cats in house and feeding another 10 outside on SS fixed income. We are in desperate need for these wonderful little souls to leave us. Physically and financially we can no longer do this. Please, PLEASE, someone help us! Thank you 530 - 528-0539 or 530- 524-8810.
