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.

This organization adopted out a dog with simply one vet call. Someone who knew the adopted the dog and was very concerned about the rescue's decision. This person called me to intervene as I have been involved in rescue for over 25 years. I called, with the promise of confidentiality, to express deep concern for the dogs care and welfare - short AND long term. They promised they would investigate.
This 'rescue' (as they call themselves) simply called the new owner and read to them ALL the accusations! Then had the audacity to tell me "there were satisifed"!?! Satisified with what, a lying persons claim that they weren't lying?!? Not to mention the compromised the confidentiality by relaying all those details!?!
Then they wrote me an email telling me if I had concerns to contact "the authorities directly". No concern for their poor decision, no accountabliity - just passing the buck onto our local agencies to clean up the mess they created!
Places like this that adopt out simply to find a home for a animal, whether it is a good home or a good fit, is no excuse. There lack of substantial investigation is simply taking an animal that has already been uprooted, at least once, and subject it to a situation where it will likely be uprooted again is a disgrace! Every new transition likely creates a animal that becomes less and less adoptable!
Do yourself a favor and DO NOT support this 'so called' rescue and their practices. Consider for a moment... that if they don't put effort into properly vetting you - what kind of quality information are they vetting about the animal for you... that you are about to bring into your home?!?
