\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
If you\u2019ve found or already have an animal that needs a new home,
\nyou\u2019re going to try your best to find a rescue or shelter that will take
\nhim in, keep him for as long as it takes, and then find Fluffy or Fido a
\ngreat new home. Unfortunately, this will take time. It could take a
\nseveral weeks and you will have to care for Fluffy or Fido in the
\nmeantime, but its well worth the effort.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Most No Kill animal shelters or rescue groups are not open admission
\nshelters. This means that they are often full, especially during kitten season<\/a>.
\nThe following tips do not guarantee that you will get Fluffy or Fido
\ninto these rescue groups, but they will greatly increase your chances.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Do an Internet search for all rescue groups in your area.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
If this is a cat, try to look for cat-specific groups<\/strong><\/div>\n
If this is a dog, figure out what breed she is and try to find breed-specific rescue groups<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Determine if the group you are considering is a true No Kill rescue or shelter<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\n
Call each No Kill group and leave a message with the following information:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n
Your name and number<\/strong><\/div>\n
The type of animal (cat or dog), specific breed if known, gender if
\nknown, age (kitten, puppy, adult dog or adult cat), and if the animal is
\nspayed\/neutered.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Your name and number again at the end of the message.<\/strong><\/div>\n
For example: \u201cHi, my name is John. I recently found a litter of
\nkittens around 10 weeks old. They are docile and friendly. One is a
\nblack and white, short-haired male, two are short-haired, female calicos
\nand one is a short-haired, female tortie. Please call me back at
\n555-555-5555 if you can help place them.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
You will probably not get a call back. Repeat step 3 after a
\nweek, but add \u201cI called last week, I have.\u2026\u201d Keep repeating step 3 with
\neach rescue group until you get a call back, then negotiate a time when
\nyou can drop the animal off. Sometimes they\u2019ll call you just to tell
\nyou they\u2019re still full. Thank them for their time and keep repeating
\nuntil room is available.<\/strong><\/div>\n
In the meantime, a rescue group will be much more likely to help if you are willing to put in some effort.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Monetary donations help, but are not always required.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Spaying\/neutering the animals will greatly increase your chances
\nthat a rescue group will accept them, even in the height of kitten
\nseason.<\/strong><\/div>\n
If you offer to keep the animals until they\u2019re adopted, the rescue
\ngroup will be much more likely to let you attend their adoption events,
\nor let you place the animal in their adoption centers, and eventually
\ntake the animals if foster space becomes available.<\/strong><\/div>\n
If these are puppies or kittens, getting the mom fixed (and the dad if known) will really help endear you to the rescue group.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Good luck and thank you for caring.<\/strong><\/div>\n
