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.

AVOID THIS PLACE AND MAKE IT GO OUT OF BUISNESS. I contacted Mary about a dog in her facility on 8/31/21. I picked up the dog on 9/4/21 after being promised he's not aggressive with other animals and that he's great with cats. He not only was extremely food aggressive, he attacked my cat. This was a great pyrenees, a 105lbs dog I was promised was safe and knew commands. He was not crate trained, he did not know any commands, and he attacked my cat that could have died (thankfully he did not). I returned him on 9/7/21 and Mary stole my money on 9/14/21. When I recieved the dog he was matted, dirty, and his claws were grown into his paws. Her kennels are disgusting, the dogs are kept in the dark in a barn and Mary is a vile human. I am currently in the process of disputing the charges and suing her and her business.

Extremely unprofessional, disorganized, and severely lacking transparency. We were forced to finalize our adoption of our new pup before we were allowed to see any of her records or verify that she had any. We kept getting told she was fine and up to date, but they adamantly refused our requests to verify this. Once we finalized our adoption, we received several email with incorrect records, or documents that we submitted ourselves for the adoption process. After doing my research, I found that this is par for the course with this group. They fabricate stories about their animals to try and get them adopted faster, and they refuse pertinent information for adopting parties to try and strong arm the money before you are allowed to make sure your rescue isn't bringing disease or parasites home to your family or other animals. I'm glad we saved our new pup from these people, as she deserves a good home. But this organization does not deserve to rescue animals, nor do they deserve money to do so. If you are considering rescuing an animal, I implore you to look elsewhere, as this group will undoubtedly sell you snake oil and belittle you for trying to do your due diligence.

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.
