When I was talking to the volunteer coordinator, he also told me that our rescue uses service that does web hosting, e-mail, etc. for animal rescues. It's kind of a menu deal, it's pretty inexpensive, depending on what you think you need.

I love all the suggestions and ideas we've already gotten. I've got my legal pad all full of notes and outline stuff and I've been adding to it over the last couple of days.

Thanks so much.............keep 'em coming.

Randy - I might have missed it but do you have a name picked out for the rescue?

Not yet......we've been kicking that around. Got a few ideas, but we haven't firmed up anything yet.
We weren't that far along until a few weeks ago when Audrey left the County and now we're kind of getting everything rolling.

We initially wanted Rocky Start Rescue, after the first dog we adopted together. He ended up being one of the best dogs I've ever had, found chained to a tree and severely beaten.
There is already a Rocky Start Rescue in Mondovi, WI.

Thats totally cool. I wonder what else is out there specifically for rescues. Because I'm obsessed I think I'll google it.

I think it's rescuegroups.org or something like that.

Hearty congrats and many well wishes to your up-coming rescue!

If you are interested, I would be happy to share all of our forms with you. Some of them can be down-loaded from our site, but others are for internal use and only available to the volunteers.

If you want me to print you off a set of everything - adoption contract, owner surrender forms, home visit forms, etc. please email me your snail mail address and I will get them to you.

When we designed our forms, we tried hard to hit a happy medium between not enough info, and also not being too intrusive. One rescue actually had a 12 page application! Geesh! A good lawyer helped with our contract with all of the legalese!

All the best,

Lea
