STRAYS
WE RECEIVE AN ASTONISHING NUMBER OF MESSAGES DAILY FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE FOUND A STRAY PIT BULL. UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO TAKE THEM ALL ON. THE FIRST STEP YOU NEED TO TAKE IF YOU FIND A STRAY DOG IS TO CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS MICROCHIPPED. YOU SHOULD ALSO CHECK CRAIGSLIST FOR ANY MISSING DOG POSTS. IF YOU DO BOTH THINGS, AND STILL CANNOT LOCATE AN OWNER, WE CAN ONLY HELP YOU PLACE THE STRAY DOG YOU'VE FOUND IF YOU ARE WILLING TO FOSTER SAID DOG FOR THE LEGAL 30 DAY HOLD. IN WHICH TIME WE WILL SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DOG SPAYED/NEUTERED AND FULLY VETTED. AFTER THAT, WE CAN BEGIN NETWORKING THE DOG AND TO FIND IT A LOVING FOREVER HOME. THIS CAN TAKE ANYWHERE FROM A FEW WEEKS TO SEVERAL MONTHS. IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO FOSTER THE DOG YOU'VE FOUND FOR THIS MUCH TIME, OR TAKE IT TO THE NECESSARY VETERINARY APPOINTMENTS, YOU WILL NEED TO SURRENDER IT TO YOUR LOCAL SHELTER. WE CAN ONLY HELP A STRAY DOG IF THE PERSON WHO FOUND IT IS WILLING TO HELP US. SADLY, THERE ARE TOO MANY AND WE CANNOT HELP THEM ALL.
OUT OF AREA DOGS IN NEED OF HELP
WHILE WE WISH THAT WE COULD HELP ALL DOGS IN NEED, THE NEED IN SACRAMENTO IS SO GREAT THAT WE CAN ONLY HELP THOSE IN OUR IMMEDIATE AREA. OUR SHELTERS ARE FULL, AND WE NEED TO FOCUS OUR ENERGY ON THE DOGS THAT WE CAN MEET IN PERSON AND EVALUATE OURSELVES.
OWNER SURRENDERS
IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO SURRENDER YOUR DOG TO US, AND WE HAVE AN AVAILABLE FOSTER HOME OPEN, THERE IS AN OWNER SURRENDER FORM THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED OUT AND A $2000 REQUIRED DONATION.
YOUR $2000 DONATION WILL INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
