Hello,
I was contacted by someone who works at the Pennsylvania SPCA Wellsboro Branch. She is looking for anyone willing to take Shanook, a 7-year-old Chocolate Lab. He is very beautiful and sweet and gets along with all other animals. Unfortunately, he is going blind in both eyes. He can still see shadows. The shelter will be closing and the branch manager has left, so the animals are being put down much faster than usual. This guy doesn't have much hope unless a rescue can take him and try to find him a good home. He is up to date on shots and house trained. This woman is willing to help with transport, transport fees, neuter fees, and she will pay the adoption fee.
I live in BC Canada.
There are rescues who advertise all the time.
I think they would do so in order to prevent an animal
from ever entering the system. In our province we are mostly
no kill in our shelters (only when necessary-although I know exceptions). There are many breed specific rescues out there.
Take FORM for example. Friends Of Rescued Mastiff's. They are breed specific, and for the most part do not take other breeds in.
I think the majority of the public do not know there are rescues working outside of shelters. Advertising in the paper is a way for them to get their name out there. I know I didn't know such things existed till I got involved with the SPCA. Where I am we work with breed specific rescues, especially pitty's. Always a whole wack of them around here.
