As a Humane Society, we are overloaded with requests from individuals regarding re-homing. We are not a shelter, but rather a low-cost clinic, pet food pantry, dog training facility that works to keep families together so surrendering to a shelter is the last resort. After having discovered this fabulous resource, I've referred a few pet owners to Rescue Me. Cooper was tied to our fence in the middle of the night, but I just couldn't send him to the county shelter, because his age would probably have prevented them from easily adopting him out. He also had various health issues that needed addressing, and some behavioral problems with larger dogs (only). He is such a love and perfectly behaved in every other way. Luckily, our veterinarian was able to bring him to a healthy state, and our dog trainer was able to work with him for a few weeks. We received many inquiries via the Rescue Me website. All of the interested parties were quality pet owners with a sincere desire to help Cooper. I can't tell you how impressed i was with the efficiency of your service, as I started receiving those inquiries almost immediately. As it turned out, Cooper's new family lives right here in St. Augustine. They are a perfect match for Cooper. Thank you, Jeff Gold, for creating this site. It is such a wonderful alternative to shelter relinquishment, as it allows the pet owner to have control over who adopts their furbaby. | | |
