🐾🌟Friendly Reminder 🌟🐾
Lost Pet Recovery remains closed for the month of June and we are unable to take on any new cases at this time. We are hopeful that we will be back in action and accepting cases again in July. In the meantime, we wanted to take a moment to clarify the work we do and the difference between pet rescue and pet recovery.
Our mission is to help families locate and recover lost pets. We are frequently contacted about taking in found strays, or helping place pets that need new homes. While we absolutely understand why people reach out, those services fall under the work of animal rescues and shelters, not pet recovery. Yes, on occasion, we have assisted with dogs that appeared to be lost, abandoned, or far from where they may have originated. However, we do not have a shelter facility, kennels, foster network, or the resources required to house animals. Without the support of a rescue, shelter, or willing family to provide care, we are unfortunately unable to take those animals into our care.
Please know that we genuinely wish we could help every person who contacts us. However, Lost Pet Recovery is operated by one person handling the field work, social media, case management, education, and the many requests that come in each day. Every request requires time, resources, and funding to evaluate and respond to. And while we are not a nonprofit organization, we operate very much like one. Our work is made possible through the generosity of the families we help, our subscribers, and the community members who support our mission. Because of that, we simply do not have the capacity or resources to assist with every request that comes our way.
We appreciate your understanding, your support, and your continued belief in what we do. Our goal has always been to give lost pets the best possible chance of making it back home safely. Thank you for being part of that mission. ❤️🐾
