Protective Services for Animals
Programs that place stray and homeless domestic pets with people who are willing to provide for their care; find homes for wild burros, horses or other animals who are being removed from their natural environment; or place retired race horses, show horses, greyhounds and other animals when their racing or show careers have come to an end. Included are websites where animals available for adoption can be listed.
Programs that assist people who have lost their pets to obtain information, if available, about the pet's location. These programs may provide registration services and identification tags which inform people who find a lost pet about who to call, and/or may maintain an information network to match details on lost pets with details about those people have found.
Animal Rehoming Listing Services
Organizations that provide websites which allow pet owners to post information about animals they are no longer able to keep in hopes that they will find a good home. Individuals posting on these sites are normally not allowed to charge or are limited to a small rehoming fee. Also included are animal rescue organizations that post courtesy listings for pet owners who want to rehome their animals.
Programs that rescue domestic animals who are in hazardous situations and which may provide emergency medical care if injuries have occurred.
Programs that provide protection and care for unwanted pets or stray animals, and hold them for a specified period of time to provide an opportunity for owners to claim them prior to offering them for adoption. Included are shelters that euthanize the animals if not adopted within a specified amount of time, as well as "no kill" shelters that will keep the animals until they are adopted.
Programs that trap feral cats who cannot be tamed and placed into homes, neuter or spay them and, after a day of recovery, release back them onto the street to live out the remainder of their lives. The program reduces the feral cat population by halting the production of litters rather than capturing and killing the animals.
