Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
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!

Legislating private rescues would probably drive a lot of people our of volunteering for rescue and turn them to shelters for volunteer work. People that are fostering and driving countless miles to transport rescues see the same animals in the system for years.

Shelters, while not ideal, are far preferable to private rescues that have no intention of adopting animals out

I do not believe the job of pet adoptions should ever be handled privately.

I had a very bad feeling about Loyal, and inlisted friends,family, and foster parents from other rescues to help me check Loyal out. LOYAL does NOT frequently adopt animals out of its foster system. With the assistance of our vet clinics, we have filled out the application forms for several dogs over the past two years. We have filled out forms with excellent veterinary care and references listed, not so great veterinary references listed, homes with no children, with lots of children, with school aged children and teenagers. We have applied saying we have no other dogs, dogs that have died of old age, or one or two dogs in residence. We have applied with one person at home all the time, no people home during the day, but with a neighbour willing to pop in for pee breaks, and nobody home during the day with no pee breaks offered. We have applied using a rural address and a suburban address, as happily married couples, as single people, as families. All told, there were 18 different applications submitted to LOYAL pet rescues to adopt a dog. Not one of them made it past the board of directors, despite our veterinary references being called on each occasion, and our personal references only being called on 3 occasions.
With 9 different people filling out adoptions, just to see what it would take to actually get a dog from LOYAL, not one of us was even able to meet the dog.

Loyal has several animals that have spent years in foster care. There is no desire to rehome these pets, but every opportunity to accommodate pet hoarders on the board of directors and within the group of foster families helping this group.

Dropping an animal off in the care of Loyal could lead to that animal spending its entire life in a foster home, without ever being offered to a family for a forever home.

This is not a program they promote on their websites.
