What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
1. ABRN publishes an annual Breed Rescue Referral List of about 100 reliable breed rescues. This list is a formidable undertaking representing hundreds of hours of volunteer effort. It is provided free of charge to area vets, groomers, pet supply stores, animal control agencies, and other humane organizations. 2. Our shelter liaisons notify many other animal welfare groups about shelter animals that are their special concern. It is not true that purebred rescue people care only about purebreds. We care about all dogs; indeed, about all animals. We may feel a special affection for a particular breed, but what prompts us to do rescue is a sense of responsibility to that breed, not a belief that purebreds have more intrinsic 'worth' than others. In addition, most of our groups will find homes for mixes of their breeds when they have the resources to do so. In 2004, ABRN members and associates were responsible for the successful placement of over 3800 homeless dogs. 3. Breed rescue people spend countless hours providing support and education to puppy buyers who acquired their pets from commercial sources. Many of these puppies would be abandoned as adults without breed rescue assistance. 4. Many shelters use us to help place dogs from the shelter. They know that if one of our members refers an adopter, the home is qualified; and they will not be dealing with that dog again. This frees up staff and resources to concentrate on other dogs who may need extra time. We feel comfortable with this cooperative approach in Denver because almost every metro area shelter spays or neuters every animal before it is released to the new owner. 5. Many breed rescues are able to take and place some animals who cannot for reasons of health, temperament, or age be successfully placed from a shelter environment. In fact, a number of breed rescues prefer to pay the fee and adopt the shelter dog themselves so that it can be observed in a home environment before being placed. Fostering by individuals with extensive knowledge about a specific breed increases the odds for a successful adoption, especially for some of the more challenging types of dogs. Also, a well funded rescue is able to do a more thorough physical assessment than many shelters. In 2004, the last year for which we have a complete stateistal report, the various ABRN groups reported veterinary expenses of well over $400,000, for more than 3800 dogs. Those are all private dollars and represent a significant contribution from the veterinary community, as well, since most of their services are discounted. 6. Breed rescue is a resource other than the commercial breeder for the average pet seeker who has decided that he wants a purebred. Most people settle on a breed purely on the basis of how it looks, with little or no information about temperament and behavior. Frequently, we can prevent an individual from acquiring a dog who would be a disastrous match and steer him or her to something more suitable. Often, that something is a random bred dog from a shelter. We are a coalition of independent groups with varying policies and procedures, but we are united in our committment to finding quality, permanent homes for all abandoned dogs, as well as reducing the population of unwanted animals. We believe that this can best be done by working co operatively with others in the animal welfare community and by supporting the spaying and neutering of all pets before placement.
