Oh - and I also have this dream of forming a co-op or buyer's group sort of thing for rescues - "Arkansas Rescue Cooperative". The idea would be that one central location would serve as a "Depot" to collect and distribute donated supplies, purchase in bulk, solicit donations from area merchants, dog food suppliers, etc.....instead of rescues paying actual money for anything, they could earn "Co-op dollars" when they donated something...to then be "spent" when they need something..for example, I…

I even sometimes have a surplus of linens and medications about to go out of date and such. If someone has something or needs something, they could just contact the Co-op and do some trading out. It could even go so far as to be one central location for resources on low-cost vetting information, pet health insurance, sort of like a "Consumer's Report" for animal rescues. Any kind of animal, not just dogs.<br />
Big dream, huh? Huge project, endless possibilities.....<br />
Kind of like the Farmer's Co-op and Rice Depot do. Of course, it would be a full time job for someone to do this. Amen, Lynne!

Amen, Lynne! Seems like almost every time I have tried to "partner" with another rescue, things don't go well. I do have wonderful working relationships with several rescues, but we each mind our own business and try to help one another when we can, always remembering that the rescue with the dog is the ultimate decision maker about that dog. Usually no "Board" is involved.....If I don't agree with or like their way of rescuing, I simply don't work with them anymore. Simple as that!<br />

Amen, Lynne! Seems like almost every time I have tried to "partner" with another rescue, things don't go well. I do have wonderful working relationships with several rescues, but we each mind our own business and try to help one another when we can, always remembering that the rescue with the dog is the ultimate decision maker about that dog. Usually no "Board" is involved.....If I don't agree with or like their way of rescuing, I simply don't work with them anymore. Simple as that!<br />
My one caveat to you note is that I, myself, prefer to use my own application and contract, simply because I often tailor them to the breed of dog I am placing, and it is easier for me to navigate my own documents. And I also do not want to involve or obligate any other rescue by using their contracts, etc...might potentially muddy the water. Not that I wouldn't LOVE to have someone help me tweak my stuff - it always falls to the bottom of the task heap! I have stuff on there I need to update and change, add, etc.... Every time I look at another rescue's application or contract, I see stuff I like and want to put on mine.<br />
I think this is a fantastic place/idea/collective for independent or small rescues to gather - sort of like a "one-stop shop" for Oodles! I had tried to open an actual physical location here in Little Rock for just that - spaces for individual rescues, etc....group adoption events, and such - vendors, whatever. Kind of like an antique mall, only with dogs! I was going to call it "Adoption Options". But I never could get the right zoning on any of the sites I liked.

Isn't this a good idea? I have been thinking about it from talking to so many people on FB who are doing exactly this. I thought, this is what we are already doing. So, I thought I'd throw it out to everyone. I am certainly used to controversy, so what's a little more. There's strength in numbers and let's talk. lynne_fowler@yahoo.com<br />

BTW, I did register with NJ as a Non-Profit. For legal protection but most are not registered anywhere.

I was cruising PetFinder to catch any doodles listed and found Loki, a beautiful red-mahogany colored aussie doodle. I called immediately to speak with the VT Second Chance folks about the possibility of adopting him. I see LOKI on our rescue site now, which is great! But keep your paws crossed; I hope VT will consider my application to adopt him. Very lovely, knowledgable people there. I'm thrilled VT is joining the collective of rescuers in order to save more dogs.<br />

Count me IN, Lynn! I am not a registered independent rescuer but I have been doing exactly this, which is using my own money and saving one dog at a time. Should I register someplace in order to become officially recognized by.. IRS? The State of NJ?<br />
Thanks for all your help, Lynn.<br />
