The
Metrolina Dogs Hope Rescue Mission
is to:
- provide an
opportunity for adoptable animals to be rehomed into permanent, responsible
situations. Adoptable means having a sound mind; shelter and other rescue
dogs do not necessarily always have a sound physical body upon release into
rescue
- resolve behavior
and physical problems before placement
- carefully match
the needs of the animal and the adopting home
- spay or neuter
all animals before placement. The only possible exception would be in the
case of an animal so old that anesthesia would be too risky
- require a physical
home visit prior to all adoptions
- require a satisfactory
veterinary reference
- require that
certain environmental conditions must be met (fence, adequate housing, etc.)
based on the needs of the individual animal
- promote the
adoption of older animals
- place the needs
of the animal first in making decisions about adoption. Consider the needs
of the prospective adopter in terms of suitability for the specific animal's
situation (there are always plenty more animals available if ours isn't a
match)
- promote positive
working relationship between breed/animal rescue and animal shelters
- provide education
and information about the needs of animals such as training, living conditions,
spay neuter, health concerns
- work closely
with other rescue organizations - networking, helping with transport, temporary
boarding, etc
- saving every
adoptable animal is not a realistic goal. However, working to reduce the numbers
of dogs in shelters and the numbers who do not find homes is an important
goal.
Right now
we do not have the resources to work with cats, however, we want you
to know that we do love cats and live with several.
