We would like to take this opportunity to thank the many, many rescues who we at the Humane Society of Scott County, HSSC, have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with in helping fulfill our mission of finding wonderful forever homes for the many adoptable animals that come through our shelter.
HSSC has valued our relationship with breed placement and all- breed rescue over the years and we would like to expand this avenue of placement for our animals. However, the number of rescue groups have greatly increased over time and across the country shelters are finding the need to start screening groups before releasing animals to them. HSSC has also found the need to develop breed placement guidelines and is now asking that all rescue groups complete a questionnaire and sign an agreement before we will place animals with them. We hope this will speed the placement process and eliminate any unnecessary confusion.
HSSC realizes the sad reality of the pet overpopulation in our country and know that rescues are almost always full and having waiting lists. We work hard to find loving, forever homes to all our adoptable pets and make every attempt to try and adopt our animals out to screened homes before reaching out to rescues. If you are a rescue and wish to establish an ongoing, working relationship to help us with our animals when the need arises, please contact us at adoptapet@hotmail.com and we will send you the necessary forms for you to complete and return.
Thank you for helping us find quality homes for some very special animals. We look forward to working with you.
