Adoptions?

I'm with a local pet adoption agency. I've been with them for 10 years. As time goes on, it gets harder and harder to find homes for these poor creatures. I'm running out of people and contacts. I was checking out all of the topics on this site and have been a member for a while. I don't see any topics for adoptions. If I were to ask if anyone would be interested in a pet when we get them in and give info on them, is that allowed on this site? :)

It is allowed, but have you also listed the pets on http://petfinder.org ? That would be an even better place, as this board is mostly discussion, and that site is just for people looking for pets!

I've thought of that. But the founder of this agency would rather not be on that site. That's for agencies that get alot of pets in. We get them trickled in, and many of the pets are unadoptable and she has to keep them with her. So if we get more surrenders, there's no place to put them. She presently has 14 dogs and 18 cats. We're built sheds and dog houses around her property to keep them all. It seems whenever we advertise, we get more surrenders. The founder is in her late 60's and supports these pets strictly from her social security. That's one main reason I started helping her - besides now we're friends. There are no other volunteers except for me and I spread the word through other local agencies when I get a pet. Sometimes they need help too and I email my contacts. One hand washes the other. Thanks for the input.

well she could just set a limit and say no more we're full when she hits it. My friend does puppy mill rescue. OLD retired breeders that need lots of work and there tend to be a some that are just never adoptable from those places and she does just say no more though it can be hard. She gets some surenders from other places but rarely. She's on petfinder.
