R.E.D. (Rescue Every Dog) is a support group for shelter workers and exceptional animals in need in public animal shelters. R.E.D. is commited to saving the lives of exceptional dogs and other companion animals. We seek to save animals that have been referred to us due to their exceptional personalities and temperaments by shelter workers, animal control officers or vet staff who have seen these special animals potential. We seek to save exceptional animals in good health or in need of correctable medical assistance or treatment. The many shelters we assist with this support do not have the necessary staff or funding to provide adequate space, medical care and adoption capability for the number of animals they receive. Saving highly adoptable companion animals that are to be euthanized in such shelters is R.E.D.'s top priority. We also assist ownerless adoptable companion animals, which are in high-risk situations due to no fault of their own, and medically needy adoptable companion animals. For the exceptional animals we rescue, we provide the safe haven of home foster care, medical care, and spay/neutering while our volunteers seek loving lifetime homes for them. Some of the animals in high-risk euthanasia situations that we are unable to foster can receive assistance from R.E.D. Alert, which publicizes their plight and searches for alternate rescue solutions via the internet. R.E.D. is committed to education on spay/neuter benefits and the prevention of animal abuse and neglect. R.E.D. volunteers provide education and community support on such topics as the benefits of spay/neuter, re-homing advice and assistance, and prevention of animal abuse and neglect. Donations to R.E.D. are used to pay the direct costs of R.E.D.'s animal care, placement and promotion. R.E.D. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, and donations to R.E.D. are tax-deductible.
The goal of R.E.D. is to place our companion animals in lifetime, loving homes. Every home and every companion animals has it own unique personality and requirements. We place our animals in the supportive and loving environment of home fostercare. While there, we gain knowledge, about their personality, training skills, likes and dislikes. To assist us with matching the correct companion animal with the most appropriate and compatable home. Please email us the answers to the questions and any other information you think would be helpful. The emailed information maybe followed-up by a R.E.D. Adoption Coordinator, with a phone interview and then a homecheck. Adoption contract and post adoption follow-up checks are required as a condition of adoption. Some companion animals get multiple applicants or are not appropriate matches, so not all adoptions will be approved. Not all applicants will receive a yes or no response due to limited staff.We reserve the right to refuse any adoption without justification.
