Makes me so sad. I wish more people knew what it meant to turn your dog over to a shelter.

I've never heard of this "shelter" and wonder if it is a rescue or not...why would Beauty be urgent if she was in a rescue? Makes no sense to me??

Ah I went and looked... I think it a situ were the dog is still with his/her owner and will be surrendered on the 27th.... heres what their site says...

Home to Home

Home to Home Adoptions

Richland Animal Rescue & Equine Shelter has helped countless owners facing hard times and their pets - still in homes - connect to new families looking to adopt.

This service is strictly offered as a CONNECTION ONLY and the pets are not "our" animals. Our volunteers simply help both parties with the application and interview process to ensure a possible good fit for the pet.

Home to Home adoptions work and keep adoptable pets from being needlessly surrendered to shelters and therefore saves lives...of the immediate pet and one in the shelter that will have a kennel space - to hopefully find a home in time there.

OWNERS are expected to be and are responsible for being completely honest with the condition and temperament of the pet they are offering for adoption from their home, to provide current and complete medical records, and to allow the animal to be returned to them if the adoption is not a good fit.

ADOPTERS are to be sure to obtain medical records from the home surrendering the pet for adoption and/or the veterinary clinic directly (prior to the adoption), responsibly interview the owner about the pet being offered, meet the current owner and animal to feel comfortable with the pet they are adopting directly from the home.

Richland Animal Rescue is only the "connection" to the two parties and offers assistance in helping both parties find each other...connecting potential homes to pets that are likely a good match based upon what is known from both parties.

All pets within this service must be spayed or neutered, with proof provided to RARES upon request.

Home to Home pet adoptions are independent of RARES adoptable pets (some pets may have some medical needs, may not be micro-chipped, etc), parties using this service are to use our Home to Home adoption agreement found on the Forms & Pubs page.

Glad you cleared that up. Opps, sorry then, I took it as she only had till 9/27 & then PTS.

I guess I need to start clicking on sites & read with a fine tooth comb !

onyx'girl · 09-22-2010, 11:04 PM

Well, the way the "rescue" makes it sound, that yes she is urgent...What happens to her after the 27th? Will she be surrendered to the local AC for euth if she isn't adopted there? Still sounds odd, I know they are playing the middleman, but should work with the GSDMI or other rescues if they can't help place her. Hope she finds a forever home!

I just love the "dog has to go to make way for the baby" line - my neighborhood is full of young families with dogs and babies, all happily coexisting. Large BUMP for Molly, turned out after 5 years of loyalty and love for her family. Must say I've never heard of this type of liaison service before......

Well..... she isn't in a kill shelter -yet. But if she only has until the 27th I'd say that's pretty urgent....
