Who Are We?
We are a group of people dedicated to rescuing dogs from
crisis situations, some of which include euthanasia by animal shelters, neglect and other
forms of abuse, or "free to a good home" ads, which result in dogs being bounced
from one home to another, or being acquired by animal brokers ("bunchers") and
sold to research laboratories where they are used for testing then discarded
("cruelty industries").
Hopefully, any rescue group's placement criteria is
thorough--ours absolutely is. The dogs we rescue are spayed and neutered prior to
placement and our screening and placement procedures speak to a high standard of care,
including home checks, medical evaluations as needed, vaccinations, "return to
rescue" clauses, contracts, and adoption fees. It is our goal to ensure that a
quality match be made between dog and owner, one that promotes the well being and
safety of the animal and, ultimately, a life-long commitment to that special
relationship. We go to great lengths to place our dogs with people who will regard
their new canine companion as part of the family.
Many rescue groups are breed specific. NBCR&P works primarily with herding breeds,
and herding breed mixes. We foster our dogs in a home environment, rather than a kennel,
if at all possible. We take pride in our promise that at any time and for any reason in
the dog's life, if the need arises, he or she has a safe place with us ("return to
rescue" policy). |
