12.) RESCUERS: DISTRIBUTE THIS FORM TO SHELTERS

21755. RESCUERS, pls. Read & distribute - from Eric R.
by shireen, 10/11/05
There is a file called National Consensus Recommendations Interim Plan for
National Pet-Owner Reunification. It prints on one page. When you interact
with shelters, please give them a copy of it. The file is posted in 2
formats, word and pdf. You can download it from:

http://home.comcast.net/~whimbrel/pet_owner_reunite.doc
http://home.comcast.net/~whimbrel/pet_owner_reunite.pdf

If you can't access it, please send me email at whimbrel@comcast.net

From Eric Rice, http://www.ericsdogblog.com/: This needs to get in the hands
of Shelters who are adopting out animals. This was done last week but the
HSUS still had not gotten it in the hands of shelters. It clearly states
that the pet MUST be on petfinder.com for 30 days and recommends much longer
than that. HSUS is recommending December 15, I think. But The shelters have
not been passed this info. It is depressing. Can you continue to post and
bump this and get it the hands of those volunteering to find animals so they
can get it in the hands of shelters?
