I think we have a few threads about this. There are quite a few people that rescue. I do. I also operate a dog boarding facility and we specialize in discounted boarding for military deployment or families in transition.

Thanks Sachita. I was not able to find a thread but will look again.

Right now I am looking for transports that work with rescue's in the TN area as they are some under served shelters out there that are asking for help as well as frustrated volunteers that need some new resources.

If you have any transport services that you would be willing to refer that would be great. Thank you

Every thing on my yard is a rescue, including Cracker, the flying squirrel, except the two old men in the back yard. I don't participate with an organized rescue group. I don't agree with how they portray the lives rescued animals have lived. Sometimes true stories, sometime half true stories and sometimes no where close to what happened to the animal.

I have never been in search of a cat, but God always sends them to me. Dogs well, that is another story. I've had many rescue dogs here. I see people in town and they go I got so and so from you. Usually I need to be reminded what kind of dog so and so was to remember them...LOL.

I have rescued cats, dogs, goats, squirrels, rabbits raccoons, birds all kinds of God's creatures have found their way here. For me it's a gift, and it always gives me a blessing.

Thanks for sharing that Blade. Sounds like some smart animals know a good thing when they see it!

I'm down to 10 rescue cats and still hoping to find homes for half of them. I had 17 at one time inside. Did catch fix and release where I used to live in OK. Paid out of pocket for 36 and my vet kept 5, helped farm out the real wild ones, to be barn kitties. Where I'm at now, we have trailer park kitties, some that people who move out leave behind. I know this because they are fixed and it's sad. They know a lady goes around filling food bowls each day. I leave a cup of food out every morning and lately one has my number and waits for me on my porch for lunch.

I wish more people that took pets realize they come with a lifelong responsibility, like children. If you don't intend on keeping them and making the commitment, don't take them.

I spend alot of my time with rescue..dog, cat and horses. I do it on FB to raise funds for rescue organizations I have scrutinized and found to be good ones that dont waste the money. I also do it in real time too, helping with fundraisers and adopting and fostering. I recently adopted a very old girl, about 10 that absolutely no one wanted. She was a skeleton and the woman who found her trotting down her road, couldnt bring her in the house because she had a litter of Boston Terrier pups. So the old girl stayed outside in a pen..much better than running loose on the road, but none the less, she has a short coat and was skinny and old. So she is with me now and has adapted well in the house. She came housebroken, and is fat now, and poor thing, as loving as could be. Why she was running loose is beside me.

Someday in the future they are going to look back on our times and wonder who we ever allowed such a holocaust to happen to these animal. We will realize by then, that they are valued members of the world and divinely, we destroyed lives like some people smoke cigarrettes..with an addictive frenzy and no care where the next pack will come until the last one is gone...

This is Nabiya, she's now 11. She was about 6 when I adopted her. This is our first day together and before she had had a bath and eventually groomed. She's here with me in Malaysia.



Dog abandonment is a huge issue in South Korea and Malaysia (as well as other South East Asian countries). There have been a number of success stories in Korea with dogs being adopted by Americans and Canadians and funds raised for them to be flown out.

That doesn't happen so much here in Malaysia. There's a much bigger problem with street dogs here with terrible skin conditions as well as injuries and if the local city councils round them up and capture them ... well, let's just say it's not pretty. Nor is it humane. Lots of street cats here as well. Dogs are popular with the Chinese and Indians and cats are popular with the Malays. Cats don't tend to be speyed/neutered so the cat population is is crazy.

It's a serious problem with little to no financial support from the government.
