I want to start an animal rescue sometime,where I can take in any kind of abused and abandoned animals and give them a chance. Around how much would it cost to get started,how much land would you need,do you need a special license to do this? Any help would be great! Thank you.
Starting up a Rescue
It is important that no one start up a rescue without first having a nest egg from which to withdraw. When the word is out that you have a rescue, the animals will start to come. By registering yourself as a rescue it will be assumed that you will have the money to provide care where others could not, and this includes emergency medical care. I know that like myself some rescues have started from scratch with no funds, straight from home, with no help from the public and practically nothing to start with and have somehow survived.
In order to keep a rescue operating, there has to be a continuous cash flow. The best way to do so is by fund rasing, but if you are a small rescue, it may be impossible.
You need to keep up to date records of where the funds raised go, as nothing makes a rescue look bad than not opening the books to its members, the public, or to people who want to make a donation and would like to see where their money is going. By keep accurate and up to date records. You should make sure to separate your own personal expenses from those of the rescue, the rescue should not be their to pay your food or phone bills.
The success or failure of your rescue will depend of the number of volunteers, try to get as many as possible so that one or two people do not end up doing all the work. You need to be able to delegate work so that if you need to have time away, the needs of your animals will be taken into consideration, feeding, cleaning, grooming, etc.
Your rescue needs to set your self a realistic goal and something to stand for, how many animals are you going to rescue each year. If you reach that point, are you going to be able to say "NO", or have a situation where you may need the help of other rescues to be able to continue your work? You need to put your goal in writing so that every one can see it, then once you have reached that goal you can then say we are full and if we take in more animals we will become over crowded. No rescue will run successfully if the goal is disregarded and more animals are taken in. If you are looking for congratulations each time you take a pet in or re-home a pet then maybe you should look at why you are rescuing animals.
Anyone who takes donations at events or accepts donations of just £2.74p per day over a year will be taken over the £1000 barrier.

What are the main advantages of being a charity?
The main advantages are that charities:
* do not normally have to pay income/corporation tax (in the case of some types of income), capital gains tax, stamp duty, and gifts to charities are free of inheritance tax;
* pay no more than 20% of normal business rates on the buildings which they use and occupy to further their charitable purposes;
* can get special VAT treatment in some circumstances;
* are often able to raise funds from the public, grant-making trusts and local government more easily than non-charitable bodies;
* can formally represent and help to meet the needs of the community;
* are able to give the public the assurance that they are being monitored and advised by us;
* can seek advice from us;
* can get information from us, for example, our range of free publications.

I am only 15 but I am very mature. I love animals all types Ive always wanted to open an animal shelter and I was wondering how old you have to be to open an animal rescue or if I could maybe open it under my legal guardians name and also how much money I should have to begin with. Thank!
You may be able to rescue an animal or two in your home, but you’d probably need a building. Unless you happen to be a millionaire, you will need
–To lease the building. You’d probably need to be at least 18
–Cages, office equipment, some medical equipment, office equipment, phones, etc.
–Advertising
–To form a corporation (ditto). Probably a nonprofit.
–Insurance
–You may need funding at first
–Salaries?
What will all this run? Couple of hundred thousand the fist year, would be my guess.
My guess is that you’d prefer to volunteer at someone else’s organization to gain experience. Can you convince your guardian to ley you bring a few animals home?
Good luck!

This spring, on 31 March 2008, 28 more moon bears arrived at AAF’s Moon Bear Rescue Centre in Chengdu, bringing to 247 the total number of bears saved from lives of torture on cruel bile farms in China. But already, 11 are dead, the vicitims of a barbaric industry.

I plan to take classes to become a vet tech and then open and animal rescue.
What are the first steps I need to take? Should I get an attorney? What forms do I need to fill out? Any information is helpful and yes I know I will not be making much money.
It would help to have an attorney to assist you in incorporating as a nonprofit organization.
Before you do that, I suggest that you either volunteer with or work for a few selected rescues and shelters that work with your preferred animal(s). Learn as much as you can about training (if applicable), animal care and housing, facility management, evaluation of animals, liability and other legal issues, finances, and fund raising. Attend seminars in your area (check the front page of Petfinder, where they are often posted). Topics might include working with government entities, fundraising, moving to no-kill, trap-neuter-release programs, working with volunteers, finding and evaluating adopters, and so forth.
Good luck. We need more people like you.
