We are a group of dedicated volunteers committed to the rescue of dogs from crisis situations, usually those in danger of being killed at an animal shelter who can no longer keep them, or owners who cite the same reason. Without a RESCUE option shelters and the public do not have the “safety net” which we provide as a “second chance” for animals to get adopted and to keep them from being given away to anyone who offers to take them and may use them for fighting purposes, sold to research laboratories or other undesirable outcomes.
In order for a dog from North Bay Canine Rescue and Placement to be placed in a home, the prospective owner must be willing to do the following: Allow us to perform a home check; Provide written permission of the adoption from the landlord, if the potential adopter is a renter; Agree never to abuse the animal, i.e. physical aggression, emotional neglect, withholding of food, water, shelter, or medical attention; Agree not to chain or tie the animal down and not to allow the animal to ride loose in any uncovered vehicle; Provide a loving home with in-house sleeping privileges, a balanced diet, and any necessary grooming or vet care; Agree to license the animal as required by the city or county of residence and to keep personalized tags on the dog at all times which includes name, address, and phone number; Agree that the animal will not be bred, fought, or used for guard or attack purposes; Agree to have the animal altered, if this has not already been done; Agree not to give or sell the dog to another person, company, organization, medical or other research facility, pound, animal control, or humane society; Agree to surrender the animal to NBCR&P should there be any breach of the adoption contract; Agree that if at any time within the animal’s life, the owner is unable to keep the dog for any reason, the animal will be returned to NBCR&P (“return to rescue” clause).
