Collar of Hope is a 501c3 all volunteer, all breed, home, rescue group.
WE HAVE NO FACILITY TO VISIT.
We are committed to helping homeless dogs find their way into permanent loving homes as a valued member of the family.
We are not trainers, behaviorist or veterinarians. We provide all basic health care, grooming needs and a safe place for the dog until a good viable match for the dog comes along. All rescue dogs will take some work, some more and some less depending on the age and background of the dog. 99% of our dogs come from shelters as strays so we have no history on them. We learn as much as we can about them while they're in our care in their foster home.
In addition to all of the important aspects of rescue, foster, and adoption... we believe strongly in proper vaccination protocol to help minimize the unfortunate and very preventable occurrences of parvo and distemper in-particular in our communities. Puppies NEED a series of at least 3 vaccines to be protected! They should never go to dog traffic areas until they've completed the whole vaccine series plus a week. A little time for the prevention of such horrific diseases is more than worth the wait for a wonderful lifetime with your new puppy.

Another important topic for us is greater public awareness about animal rescues and the availability of rescued animals of all types. We feel that this is an important step in helping to control and reduce the demand of the heartbreaking Puppy Mill situations and irresponsible breeders that are so callous to the plight of homeless dogs and other animals resulting in so many unnecessary deaths every day. Each year about 5 million dogs in this country are euthanized and they are not just the mean, old, ugly or certain breeds of dogs either! Purebred dogs, Mama's and their whole litter of puppies, the fluffies and scruffies as well as the rest are all victims of shelter euthanasia. Some areas are just awful while others are doing great work to prevent this from happening to healthy adoptable dogs. Shelter management and the surrounding community have a lot to do with the differences between a high euthanasia rate or a no/low kill policy Yesterday this country killed 17,000 dogs, today this country will kill 17,000 dogs and tomorrow 17,000 dogs will be killed. The future numbers are up to all of us!

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.

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.
