THIS APPROACH GIVES ADOPTED PETS AND THEIR ADOPTERS THE GREATEST CHANCE FOR A SUCCESSFUL, LOVING LIFE TOGETHER WE RESCUE APPROXIMATELY 50% OF OUR HOMELESS PETS FROM RURAL NORTHERN NEVADA AND RURAL NORTHERN CALIFORNIA FROM OUR RURAL PARTNER SHELTERS THAT ARE UNDER- RESOURCED AND OVER CAPACITY. WE PICK THEM UP IN OUR TRANSPORT VAN, TAKE THEM INTO OUR ADOPTION CENTER WHERE THEY RECEIVE EVERYTHING NEEDED TO BECOME ADOPTION-READY THIS INCLUDES MEDICAL INTAKE EXAMS, VACCINATIONS, SPAY/NEUTER SURGERIES, FOOD (INCLUDING SPECIALTY AND PRESCRIPTION DIETS), SHELTER, BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENTS, ENRICHMENT, AND LOVING CARE.

WE SUCCESSFULLY TREATED AND ADOPTED 57 KITTENS AND CATS THROUGH OUR IMPACTFUL RINGWORM ACADEMY PROGRAM, WHICH SAVES CATS AND KITTENS AT HIGH RISK FOR EUTHANASIA IN OTHER FACILITIES. WE MET MANY CHALLENGES AND PLACED 1,420 HOMELESS PETS IN LOVING HOMES, INCLUDING 62 FREE ADOPTIONS WE HAD A LOW RETURN RATE OF ONLY 6%, WHICH MEANS WE'RE MAKING SUCCESSFUL, LOVING MATCHES.
