The Creature Featurette Rescue Introduction

Good afternoon All,

My name is Cindy, and I am an owner of a pet sitting business in Arizona. I have worked with animals virtually my entire life. In case you are wondering I will be 51 on my next birthday. I have been involved in just about every aspect of animal work you can think of. I am willing to share what knowledge I have, as many of my clients can tell you.

The purpose of this blog is to bring together people who like me have some involvement to one extent or another with rescue work in their lives. Even if you don't have any you may have suddenly found yourself in the not-so-unique position of having a homeless animal thrust upon you, and now you want to know what to do about it.

I wrote a how-to guide booklet about rescue work some time back. However, looking at it recently I see that it is outdated in the sense that with respect to the last year or so, we as a civilization have a new growing, larger problem regarding rescue in terms of the fallout of the current ongoing foreclosure environment. Currently many if not most rescue centers nationwide are full with no room to accept the overwhelming numbers of animals being abandoned or given up due to their caregivers undergoing foreclosure on their homes.

This is just one of the points we can discuss here. I would like to welcome all discussion of rescue work here. Be it a question of where to find help, or to share a success story, please do join in. Feel free to share websites, current successful teams at work, or any other pertinant information regarding rescue work. I think the point here should be if you think it would help somebody get an otherwise homeless animal into a permanent home, a forever match, or an otherwise happy ending, then let's do it.

Welcome all......
