We're working on spreading the word about the importance of spay/neuter. We want to have nothing to do!!
What's goin' on?
We have changed our name but not our focus. We are still here for the animals even though Kathey Carr as moved on to pursue her dreams of Rving. We wish her the best of luck. With the new name comes some new faces and ideas. We are in the process of setting up a foster care network to enable us to take in emeregency placements. We still plan to do most of our rescue work by placing the critter in need from their current home to their new forever home, this is much less stressful for the critter in need. We are offering help to ALL critters in need and our new slogan is " From ants to zebras, we are here to help find new forever homes for them all "
Adopting from us
Our adoption policies are simple. You need to fill out a short form providing contact info, current pets, 2 personal references and a vet reference. You must also submit in writing a letter of approval from a landlord to have the pet you are interested in if you do not own your home. Once that has been received and approved, there is a contract to sign saying you will provide proper housing, food and care for the pet and that if for ANY reason you can no longer keep the adopted pet it MUST be returned to us. The adoption fee is a donation in the amount of your choosing, we do not have a set amount. However if the pet hasn't been altered there is a $25 fee that will be refunded when you show proof from a licensed vet that the spay/neuter has been completed. You must do this within 30 days of adoption.
Our work so far
We were able to help facilitate finding new families for nearly 150 critters so far since taking over in Jan 08. We are working hard at this and can always use a helping hand. That can come in the form of donated supplies, cash donations or volunteers to help organize rummage/bake sales and help with new ideas. If you are able to help in any way you can conact us by email nwmocritterconnection@yahoo.com or by phone 660-893-5178.
Monetary donations can be made by check or money order and sent to Terri Breneman 1200 Burrows Ave, Cainsville, MO 64632 or by going to PAYPAL and using nwmocritterconnection@yahoo.com as the address to send it too. We can always use local store coupons and gift cards that can be sent to the above address.
We are also implementing a sponsor program for the critters in our care. If you are unable to adopt at this time, please think about sponsoring a critter in need. These funds go towards feed and vet care. You will receive a certificate stating that you are a sponsor and will get updates on your sponsored pet right up thru being adopted into a new loving furever home.
If you'd like to be a foster home or do transporting for us we can always use the help so please contact us. We take in all types of critters so are in need of several foster homes with experince in different types of critters so the ones in need are cared for properly when they can no longer stay in their homes. The more foster homes we have the more critters we can help out.
The NW MO Critter Connection is a state licensed animal rescue and we are monitored by the state. We work with several other rescues and shelters to find homes for as many critters in need as we can.
Thanks SO much to all our volunteers for all your help!!! We are very hopeful that 2009 will bring a lot of changes for the critters of the area. Of course, we said that last year too, and the year before!! Still getting resistance from the local officials, but nothing but great support and encouragement from the local citizens! Please encourage all forms of local government officials to work to help Harrison County and the surrounding areas be a better place to live for ALL it's citizens....2 legged, 4 legged, furry, feathered, or finned!!
Who We Are
We are a few dedicated volunteers who truly care about animals and are working hard to help the critters of NW Missouri and the surrounding areas. We are in the process of setting up a foster home network as there are very few county shelters in the area and those are small and unable to handle a lot of animals or the large variety of critters we hope to be able to help find new loving forever homes.
Come Visit Us!
Right now we just meet in volunteers homes, and do most of our work online or over the phone. If you are looking for a pet, or need help with an unwanted, stray or problem animal please contact us via email at nwmocritterconnection@yahoo.com
We hope to be able to build a TRUE animal shelter for Harrison County and the surrounding area in the near future.
