What is needed to open and operate an animal rescue?

I love animals and I have always wanted to have my own animal rescue. So I have decided to make it happen, but I am unsure of what kind of permits and things of that nature to get. Also, I’ve looked on Google for the modular kennels used to hold dogs and can’t find them anywhere. Any ideas? I’m located in GA.

The best thing you can do to learn about the philosophy and mechanics of running your own animal rescue operation, is to first volunteer for a well-established rescue group.

You will learn how to avoid duplication of effort, fund raising techniques, equipment needed, volunteer recruitment, public relations, cooperative efforts with local humane societies and animal control agencies, legal issues, and lots of ways to avoid unforeseen pitfalls that can create a lot of problems. Running an animal rescue group is not as easy as it may appear from the outside. Find a lawyer who is knowledgeable about animal rescue organizations. Area groups may be able to make some good recommendations.

Create some achievable objectives and stick to them. Don’t over-reach. Select you board members and management team very carefully.

Good luck!

I am with an animal rescue org.Is it legal to list names of people who should not be allowed to adopt a dog?

I do animal rescue and adoptions. Is it legal for me to start a yahoo group which would compile a list of names and addresses of people who should not be allowed to adopt an animal so that other rescue groups can refer to it and we can all exchange info?
We’re finding that folks who have been turned down for adoption, for good reason, simply go on to another rescue group and try to adopt. This would be a communication tool,sort of a database for all rescues who want to make sure that their animals are not going to be adopted by undesirables. All info on the list would be FACTUAL.

I don’t know about the legal aspect but as a breeder I would like this info. could you email me your list privately? romance_german_shepherds@yahoo.com

What Kind Of Animal Rescue Careers Are There?

I am needing to decide on a career and would love to rescue animals and check them out, rehabilitate them, find them good homes or release them. I thought about being a vet but I couldn’t deal with surgery and putting them to sleep every day and not forming some type of bond or relationship.

Animal rescuers are volunteers, no pay!. If you thought about being a vet and couldn’t handle the thought of surgery and putting animals to sleep, then you probably will change your mind about animal carers as well. I am a wildlife rescuer and have to deal with putting down animals that are unreleaseable – to be able to rehab an animal and release back to the wild, the animal has to be 100% fit otherwise it will not survive when you release it, then you would have wasted time and money rehabing the animal only to put it to its death in the wild, it is much kinder to put it to sleep in the first place, if it is unreleasable. On the plus side, you get the satisfaction of rescuing an animal, rehabbing it back to 100% in the shortest time possible, so as the animal is not away from the wild for too long, and then releasing it back to the wild, makes you feel really good. Carers also don’t form a bond or relationship with any wildlife animal as they have to go back to the wild being afraid of humans, for their own protection. With orphaned animals, you will form a "mother" type relationship with the baby animal, but you have to train yourself to treat the baby like their mother would in the wild, for example a baby bird only relies on the parent bird to feed it for the first few weeks of its life, and when it gets to fledgling stage, you have to teach the baby bird how to find its food, and fend for itself and thats when the "mother" relationship cuts out.

For a paying job with animals i would look at maybe some of the zoo’s if you want to work with animals, without having to deal with putting them to sleep. Good luck
