I have received permission from the mods to start this thread.

The intent of this thread is really twofold:

First, if you have an animal in a rescue situation you can use this thread to give an accurate description and location of the animal in need. It is not intended to promote any specific breed or species. It's not a place to advertise any rescue group. However, if you know of an animal that is in need of rescue/adoption, you can post it here to aid in the animal finding a home.

Also, any questions regarding the care and rehabilitation of a rescued animal can be discussed here. Before and after pics of your rescued animal are welcome. Tips to nursing animals back to health are welcome, too!

Maybe if we all band together here we can save some deserving furkids and place them in loving homes along the way!

Ok just so this is clear, this is for members in Tampa only? Just wanted to clarify.

No, I just picked a city at random to use as an example.

THIS IS WORLD WIDE.

I just wanted to pop in here and stick this thread to the top of Animalicious.

Also yes, this thread is for animals that are in need of adoption anywhere. Since we have members from all around the globe, this thread can be used as a way to make connections for those looking to adopt a furry family member, or if you know of animals that are available for adoption and looking for a loving home. Pictures are always helpful!

PLEASE, DO NOT POST PERSONAL CELL OR HOME TELEPHONE NUMBERS OR E-MAIL ADDRESSES!

If the pet up for adoption is at a private home (not an animal shelter or business), please ask members to PM you so that you can give out the contact information. Posting telephone numbers or e-mail addresses to a legitimate adoption center or organization is fine.

Please update your posting! If the pet has been adopted, please edit your post, or throw in a quick, "Fluffy/Rover has found a home!" post in this thread.

Thanks, and happy adopting! Thank you to Voodoo for the thread idea

^^Thank you for the sticky, Cristina!!

thanks for clarifying! I hope we can find some animals their much needed homes:)

I hope anyone who is looking for a pet is inspired to go the rescue route.

It's no secret how crazy we are about our Boxer dog, Duke. We rescued him and it's been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

When we brought Duke home he was so underweight and lethargic he'd barely play. It's amazing what 6 months and lots of love and Eukanuba will do. PLEASE, ALWAYS CONSIDER RESCUE OR ADOPTION!

Voodoo, this is such a great idea!

VooDoo - the before and after pics of Duke just made me bawl! Than you so much for rescuing him!

VOODOO! This is great, and it reminds me why I love you.

Thank you so much for this thread. Hopefully lots of homeless pets will find new forever homes.

Voodoo, the before picture of Duke made me cry! I'm so glad you rescued him! He looks like such a sweetie!!

Thanks all..... we adore Duke!!

If anyone else has before and after pics of their rescue please post them!!

And if anyone in the North Texas area feels the need for an Italian Greyound please PM me!

This thread makes me cry. Thank you sweet Voodoo for starting it

I know without tpf, I wouldn't have had a babysitter for Twinkie while I'm deployed.

What a great idea this thread is! Thanks Voodoo, and thanks Cristina for making it a sticky
