*Tip for reaching out to rescues for placement - if you don’t have time to call each one, write up an email explaining the animals story, their personality, medical history, and attach photos. Then copy and paste each of these emails here into the B.C.C. of your email so you can send one email to lots of other rescues without their names appearing to each other.
