The current topic for the Pets: Biweekly Topic Challenge is the suggestion for rescue organizations.
For the next two weeks (until December 8, 2014) you are challenged to ask or answer as many questions as you can using the rescue-organizations tag.
At the end of the challenge the results will be tallied into an answer below this post. Have fun!
During the two weeks of the challenge we received 21 questions about rescue-organizations.
The total voting score the questions received was 97 for an average voting score of 4.6 per question.
There were 32 answers for an average of 1.5 answers per question.
The questions asked were:
Are there any animal charities that focus on preventing pets from being rehomed in the first place?
I noticed many rescues do not offer same day adoptions, Why not?
Am I allowed to take existing pets to the shelter to meet potential pets?
What sort of questions will the rescue centre ask me to ensure I am ready to adopt?
How long can I spend with an animal to get to know it before adopting?
Why is it that many rescues charge more for adoptions than I could get a puppy for from a breeder?
Can you buy your way to the head of the list to get a pet into a restricted access shelter?
After getting a pet from an animal shelter, should I take it to the vet for a checkup?
How much time should I expect to volunteer at a shelter in order to be useful?
What types of volunteer activites are often associated with animal rescues?
