| I am the owner of 4AnimalCare.org, a rescue, rehab and behavior modification network with volunteers across the country ready to help contribute time, effort and knowledge for animal welfare.
We have re-homed dogs, countless cats and are growing our activities in exotic bird care.
I’d like to provide the answers to your questions and concerns about how to recognize animals in need, what you can do in your area and contribute to supporting you through the initial adjustment time after adopting a previously neglected animal.
If I don’t have the answers, I’ll do whatever I can to find someone who does!

| I am the co-founder of Wichita Falls Reptile Rescue ( Wichita Falls, Tx. ). We provide temporary to permanent sanctuary, medical care, and adoption, to needy reptiles of all types ( turtles, tortoises, lizards, and snakes ). We are, first and foremost, reptile educators and care advisors. In this way we hope that we can prevent many animals from needing to be rescued or re-homed in the first place. We are experienced in many different specific reptile species, including: Geckos, Anoles, Iguanas, Bearded Dragons, Monitors, aquatic and box turtles, tortoises, colubrid and venomous snakes, and Horned Lizards. We can advise you about a variety of captive care issues, and are available to speak to the public about the study and conservation of reptiles in the wild.
We also have previous experience in dog and squirrel rescue organizations, with rabbits, and with some wild and domestic birds. We continue to rescue squirrels in our area with much success, and work closely with our partners, of Southwest Oklahoma Animal Rescue. We can assist in emergencies with these and many other animals; or, direct you to someone or another appropriate rescue group who can help. | Available

| I run a non-profit animal rescue group that specializes in dogs but also works with cats and small animals (hamsters, guinea pigs and an occasional bird). I can help you with most behavioral problems you might encounter when adopting a rescue dog as well as help you working through issues. I can help you with any questions you might have as to the pros/cons of adopting a rescue if you are considering it. I can also help you decide what breed might work best for you if you tell me exactly what you are looking for in a dog. | Available

| I can and will answer any question pertaining to volunteering, fostering and/or adopting a rescued dog. I can also help with the behavioral and health issues that abound with shelter and rescue canines.
I am able to help you decide if volunteering is the right path for you and what type of volunteer work you may be best suited for. I have experienced and witnessed volunteer 'burn-out' and can be your sounding board if you're feeling a bit stressed.
Re-homing your dog is always a big decision...please talk to me before you make it! People often re-home dogs with behavioral or health issues because they feel they are out of options. Let's discuss it and see what we can come up with! | Available

| I can answer any questions about rescuing, fostering or adopting a rabbit. I can tell you
and help you with some behavioral problems that form after the experience of adopting a
rabbit and taking his fuzzy bun home! I can tell you if the rabbit is right for you, and can
help you get involved with volunteering and experience in the rabbit rescue world. See me
in the Rabbits section to ask any other questions your have about them.
I started a rescue group as a sophomore in high school, by fostering rabbits before I got
them adopted and putting pictures of sheltered rabbits around the neighborhood and at
my school, and continue with it today with a bunch of friends who also love rabbits.
I recommend adopting from a shelter or a rescue group. If you adopt from a shelter, you
know it needs a loving home and you are saving it's life by adopting it, whereas when you
adopt from a rescue group, you are letting another rabbit be in a foster home and know
that it was cared for and usually neutered.
I appreciate that you're doing your homework before adopting a rabbit and can also
answer any questions about the experience after adoption if you are still deciding. I can
help with choosing your rabbit also, to make sure it is healthy and friendly.
Breeders care about THEIR rabbits, but if they knew about how bad overpopulation of them
is, they would understand it is better not to breed the rabbits at all. I would never buy
from a breeder, and neither should you unless you plan to show your rabbit and need a
pedigree. | On Vacation
