Become a Rescue Partner Today!
At Breckinridge County Animal Shelter, we are passionate about finding every animal a loving home. We believe that by partnering with dedicated rescue organizations, we can extend our reach and ensure more pets get a second chance at happiness.
If you're a 501(c)(3) organization or rescue group, you can partner with us to provide additional opportunities for our animals to find their forever homes. We welcome partnerships with groups that align with our mission and are committed to making a difference in the lives of pets.
Rescue Requirements
1.) Non-Profit Status: Your organization must be a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity in good standing.
2.) Rescue Experience: Your group should have experience in animal rescue, rehabilitation, or adoption, with a proven track record of successful placements.
3.) Adoption Process: You must have a clear, structured adoption process for placing pets in safe, loving homes.
4.) Transport Ability: We can help arrange pet transportation. Our volunteers can provide transportation within a 100-mile radius of our shelter. Health certificates are required for out of state transports.
5.) Veterinary Care: Our shelter is able to provide appropriate veterinary care for the animals, including vaccinations, spaying/neutering and other medical services requested by the rescue. We do request pull fees for dogs, although donors may sponsor these fees.
6.) References: Provide references or details of previous rescue partnerships or successful adoptions.
7.) Application: Complete the application above and include any supporting documentation.
Once approved, your organization can assist with finding homes for animals and help us increase the reach of our adoption efforts. Apply to become a rescue partner today and help us make a lasting impact on the lives of pets in need!
