Where to Find a Rescue Animal

gabuttercup — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:59:18 CDT

When searching for that perfect rescue dog to add to your household, it often isn’t an instant fit. It could take days, weeks, or even months to find a compatible critter. Here are several different places to begin your hunt for your new best friend:

Public Animal Shelters

These agencies employ trained animal control officers who are dispatched to pick up strays and aggressive animals, accept pets relinquished by owners, or seize animals from cruel or abusive situations. Officers conduct temperament testing and assess any known history for each dog to determine whether the animal is adoptable. Most public shelters do euthanize animals if they cannot find a home for them after a certain length of time.

Private Dog Rescue Organizations

These rescues may have some paid employees but tend to rely greatly on animal-loving volunteers to conduct business. Private rescues are more likely to have a “no-kill” policy, keeping a dog alive in either a kennel or foster care until an adopter is found.

Purebreed Dog Rescues

If you're looking for a particular breed but don't want a puppy, a purebred dog rescue is the ideal place to look. These organizations accept surrendered pets from owners and purebreds that arrive in public and private shelters and house them in their own facility or in foster care until adopted. (Find purebred dog rescue information in the breed pages and the City Guides for dog rescue organizations in your area.)

Senior Dog Rescue

Several rescue organizations have started to specialize in adoption services for senior dogs abandoned in the later stages of life. Oftentimes, these dogs still have a reasonable life-expectancy and are excellent pets, especially for older people who prefer to adopt a mellow, older dog.

Duffy 7 years in pound and still waiting for a home

gabuttercup — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:49:48 CDT

PLEASE CROSS POST
UPDATE DUFFY WAS ADOPTED!!!
HE IS NO LONGER AT THE SHELTER... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CROSS POSTED HIS INFO IT WORKED!

THE MIAMI SHELTER STILL HAS MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE MANY YEARS PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND VISIT THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR THE PETS THEY HAVE AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW... WHO KNOWS YOU MAY FIND "THE ONE" YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR.

http://www.petrescuemiami.com/

THIS POOR DOG HAS BEEN IN THE SHELTER FOR 7 YEARS CAN ANYONE HELP HIM FINALLY GET A HOME?
AFTER 7 YEARS Duffy is still waiting

Wow everybody, Duffy is still waiting. Everyone from here to California has been trying to find Duffy his forever home. And I have been fielding hundreds of inquiries but unfortunately, everyone who has a big enough heart to take in an older dog, also has already had their heart strings pulled by other dogs and cats in need and have other pets in their homes. Duffy needs to be an only dog, or with a very mellow older female. No good with cats or male dogs. So, please if everyone can give it another shot for Duffy maybe we can find one home, just one home that only wants one dog for their best friend.
Thanks so much.

Hi, I am Duffy , a handsome shepherd mix. I have been here patiently waiting in my little kennel for seven long years. I have never lost hope, but I have to admit, my chances for my own forever home are looking a little dismal. I arrived at the shelter when I was a four month old pup and was adopted right away. But there was some trouble with my family and I ended up being returned to the shelter because they weren't treating me very well. That was when I was about 2 years old, and here I have sat ever since. I am now 9 years old and I am just wondering, how much longer do I have to wait? I have seen hundreds of friends come and go over these seven years, and I am just as handsome as they were (even more than some !) and have lots of personality. I am friendly and cheerful. Always up for my favorite games of tug of war and fetch. I know I am considered a mature adult now, but I have many great years ahead of me. I would be perfectly content to hang out with a family in their living room watching football, the news, maybe the dog whisperer or whatever they want really, their choice. I don't need a lot of exercise, but I do love leisurely walks, which I am very good at. I don't pull or chase after cats. I weigh about 50 lbs. Just the perfect size to cuddle up in one of those comfy dog beds I have heard about. I am healthy and affectionate and I really am begging for a chance at my own home and family. Just think about it please. And if you decide to give me my chance, I won't let you down. Call my best fan, Kathy @ 305-401-4693 or email her at klcremer@aol.com and she will set it up for us

Find a shelter: Search by your state, city, or ZIP code through the ASPCA's shelter finder.

Find a pet: Petfinder.com- A conglomeration of thousands of rescues nationwide. You can search by location, breed, sex, age, or even size of dog and come up with any number of potential adoptive candidates! Each dog's page contains a short bio and adoption information, and often a link to the shelter's website where the dog is residing. Petfinder also contains a "classifieds" section where individual owners looking to rehome their dogs may post.

Find a breed: Visit the rescue pages, listed by breed, in the WikiFido breed directory. Or, search shelters and rescue groups in your city in the Dog-Friendly City Guides.
