NPLB - Announcement
We at No Pets Left Behind are happy to announce that the abused pit bulls who were found in the Loess Hills that made it through have all been placed with other rescues who can better suit their needs for medical care and rehabilitation. This was a long and heartbreaking process, but well worth it when you see what these poor animals have been through, and even more so when you get to know them and see their spirit. They have all been through hell, but still want nothing more than simple affection from a human. The following is a link to a web page dedicated to all of the dogs and their journey home.
NPLB - Dog in the Spotlight
We have lots of wonderful animals available for adoption, but this is one of the special ones that we would like to bring to your attention.
Who we are and our mission
We are a small group of
rescuers in
the Omaha, NE area that do this in our spare time because of our love
for the animals. We all have jobs that we have to go to everyday, just
like you. We do not have a shelter, so many of our pets are
in
foster homes. We rescue animals from shelters, clinics, and
private homes that
are in danger of being euthanized. We do not concentrate on
any one breed because we love them all. Nothing would make us as happy
as
sending one of our many animals to a wonderful home with a loving
family to live out their lives being spoiled to death.
Tips for a happier, healthier pet
No Pets Left Behind is a huge advocate of spaying and neutering your pets. Every hour in the U.S., it is estimated that more than 70,000 dogs and cats are born a day in the United States, compared to 10000 humans per day. Many of these animals will be euthanized. It is estimated that at least 61% of dogs and 75% of cats in shelters will be euthanized. The Humane Society of the United States estimates that 6 to 8 MILLION dogs and cats will be euthanized each year. Other organizations have estimates clear up to 15 million!!! So, by altering our pets, we will not only be contributing to their better health, we could be potentially saving millions of lives. Being involved in rescue, we see alot of things that break our hearts. Pet overpopulation is one of the biggest problems that can be fixed. We can all make a difference. Many areas have organizations that offer low cost spay and neuter programs. For information please contact your local shelter, veterinarian or animal control center for information on how to get in contact with these organizations and take advantage of their programs. We can all do our part to control pet overpopulation by making sure our pets do not add to these statistics. The following is a great website for statistics on pet overpopulation: http://www.sniksnak.com/overpopulation.html
Process for adopting a pet
If you are
interested
in one of our wonderful animals needing a forever home, please contact
one of the people
on our "Contact Us"
page. All of us work full-time jobs, so it may take several
hours
for us to get back to you. It is usually best to email, or text
message, if you can -
that way we can easily send you an application.
Our adoption process
begins with an application. Once we have received and
approved your application, we will contact you and set up a meeting for
you and the
animal
you are interested in. We will then do a home visit. In most cases we
will try to introduce you to the pet in your home. That way we can do
the introduction, dog/cat introduction (if applicable), and the home
visit
at the same time. When you adopt a
pet, you must sign a contract with us. This contract specifies basic
requirements in regard to treatment of that pet. They are reasonable,
common-sense requirements, which include not leaving your pet in a hot
car, providing good food and fresh water, keeping veternarian care
current,
etc. It also requires that you return the pet to No Pets Left Behind if
the adoption does not work out. This applies for the life of the pet.
We do
not want our pets to ever end up in a shelter again!
Our adoption fees vary
and are based on how much money we have
to spend for vet care. All of our pets
are
spayed or neutered, vaccinated, tested for heartworm, and
micro-chipped. They are also given necessary preventatives and
treatments so that we can keep them healthy. We do our best to give you
a healthy pet at adoption time.
