Info for Rescue Groups
The Humane Society of Jefferson County is happy to work with any local, regional or national group. In order to assure that Rescue Groups are legitimate we do request supportive information.
Required Documentation:
Proof that the group is a nonprofit or affiliated with a nonprofit.
A copy of the group’s adoption guidelines and adoption contract.
A letter identifying the veterinarian with whom the group works.
A list of persons authorized to act for the group.
General Rules
Animals entering the rescue system must be removed in a timely fashion. Animals will be made available to other rescue groups or individuals if not promptly picked up.
Once the animal is in the care of the rescue group we provide no further services.
Animals in the care of the rescue group may not be returned the HSJC except for behavioral or medical problems verified by a veterinarian. The rescue group must realize for these animals euthanization is a very likely outcome.
