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.

Agape Animal Rescue has a continuous need for quality foster homes for our rescue dogs. We are looking for all types of foster families, including those who are able to foster full-time as well as for just a few weeks at a time. We work with a network of foster homes where dedicated foster parents care for and nurture the dogs. We are looking for people who can care for our dogs as if they are a personal pet. With so many animals coming through our program, we can always match the right animal to your foster family/home.

We are devastated that we even have to post this. Mya is a 2 1/2 yr old female blue heeler, and a perfect 1 or 2 owner dog. We adopted her from the humane society of Sumner County. She is a very loyal female blue heeler mix(they were unable to tell us what kind). We have put her through training and yet, it still isn’t nearly enough for what she needs. She needs a huge back yard with a lot of space, perhaps even a farm like atmosphere. We need someone to care for her like we do. She had been given a very good life, despite the lack of space we can provide. She knows many commands, has been to the vet 3x in less than a year (for regular visits), and is up to date with her shots and can provide records. She does not do well with other people or other dogs at the moment. She will need to become accustomed to her new parents. She is very territorial and protective of her owners. It is just the kind of dog she is. We are so saddened and cannot give her away without knowing she will have great parents with a lot of space for her. (267) 982-6117/call or text. Ask for Jack. She will need to be picked up and we can provide a muzzle because she’s going to be difficult to get to readjust. Once she is accustomed to her new parents, we promise you will not regret adopting her. Thanks for reading. If you know rescues that can help people in situations like this, please provide any contacts you can. No rehoming fee if the right people/place fits.

Hello, This is Kai. I adopted her about 3 years ago. She still behaves like a puppy. Very affectionate and intelligent. Has been trained at Behavior/Obedience school. Sit,Shake,Down,and Stay commands in tact. Leash trained. She will fetch anything you can throw. Very safe around children and gets along well with other dogs.Indoor trained and quite an athlete outside. She loves to ride in the back of my pickup. She jumps into the bed (tailgate up) then looks at me as if to say “what are you waiting for?” I don’t want to give this friend up but a job change due to the current crisis will have me traveling 50% of the time. I just want to see her happy. I had her DNA analyzed which is attached below. A unique combination of breeds that makes for a loyal, obedient friend that can run like the wind. People stop by my back yard all the time to comment on how beautiful she is and she doesn’t know it. I’m willing to work with the right family to get her into a good home. Thank you.

No help what so ever. Acted like she wasn't concerned at all about the situation and didn't want to take time to talk about it. If you have a straggely dog no one wants that has been thrown out on the side of the road starving they are "too full" "have no room". But if you have a designer puppy grandma can't take care of anymore because she has to go to the the nursing home they are all in. I would not give one cent to these people. If your gonna help one help all or get out of the business. And yes business is the right word not rescue

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.
