Become a Rescue Partner

Some things you should know when working with us:

1. To become a Rescue Partner with Ruin Creek Animal Protection Society (RCPAS) you must complete the Rescue Application and agree to the Rescue Commitment Expectations. Your rescue must have been in existence for at least a year, you must have 2 good vet references, a good shelter reference and a good local animal control reference. Following your confirmation of each animal you will be notified when they are available and when you either need to pick them from transport or from the shelter. We will ask for follow up proof of pictures of the animals and proof of vetting done.

2. Please use the email addresses rescue@rcaps.org to state which animals you are interested in saving.

3. We CANNOT guarantee the health or behavior of an animal. The animals have not been examined by a veterinarian unless otherwise noted. If you have committed to an animal and it becomes sick you are responsible for any medical expenses incurred after the commitment date.

4. If at any time the Rescue feels the need to put down the companion animal they have received from RCAPS they MUST notify RCAPS before the companion animal is put down.

5. If you surrender a RCAPS animal to a kill shelter you will no longer be allowed to pull RCAPS animals.

If RCAPS is notified that the companion animal has been put down without prior notice RCAPS has the right to receive any an all monetary funds given for the companion animals back and will no longer allow this rescue to pull animals from them.

I understand Ruin Creek Animal Protection Society is run by volunteers. I understand my application will be checked thoroughly and I will be notified if I have/have not met the needed requirements as soon as a volunteer can respond. This usually takes just a few hours but there is a possibility that this may take a day or two. If you do not hear a response after 3 days of applying please email rescue@rcaps.org and politely inquire on your status.
