Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
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.

I moved to a country home where someone left 20 outside cats and contacting this no kill shelter proved they misrepresented themselves as no kill all breeds animals but after making a donation several times prior the employee answered the phone and said they don’t accept cats they only want puppies of certain breeds.... BEWARE this place is not where animals should be taken, let alone surrendering your beloved pet dog. I think they are hiding something such as maybe wanting dogs that are purebreds and intend to sell to prospective buyers. I will never donate to this unverified, misrepresented organization, most likely for Profit! Nice forthought letter describing there mission.😱😎😰😿
Um I am not sure who you called but Hope Rescues is a dog only rescue, it clearly states that on their website.
They are a rescue not an animal shelter, so they have a very specific mission to save dogs on the day they are to be killed at animal control.
They are 110% listed on the IRS and the Attorney General's websites as a charity.
Frankly I am not aware of any shelter or rescue that would have room for 20 dumped cats. I think you are being a tad bit ridiculous
Great cause but the service needs to be better. Called and emailed about a puppy that was up for adoption and they never contacted me back. Filled out application still nothing back. Do not adopt from there. Go elsewhere where they have people and animal skills.
If you listed to their message on the phone number you called, it clearly says "this is not a maned phone" it also says if interested apply...I searched the entire email system and there was no application from you for any dog at this rescue.
Not sure you even have the correct rescue or you sent a request via Petfinder which people accidentally do all the time which is NOT an application for adoption.
Giving the volunteers and director a one star when you never dealt with them is truly unfair. I can understand feeling that they need to do better communicating since you feel you were ignored but perhaps you are misunderstanding what you actually sent them.
