ABOUT UCAC...
Union County Animal Control is a rural county with little funding and is trying to get help to make the situation better. They have less than basics and they desperately need volunteers. There is no set date on how long animals live. They have 7 indoor runs and 4 outdoor runs for dogs and limited space for cats. It is very tiny and when full, animals may have to be euthanized, though we try our hardest not to resort to that. Owner Surrenders are available right away and "Found as strays" have a 10 day hold period. UCAC is a Rescue and Adoption friendly facility and is working very hard at providing the best care and chances for their animals.
RESCUES...
Rescue groups wishing to rescue animals both in state and out of state, must be licensed by the Department of Agriculture as a rescue/ shelter and their application to rescue must be approved by Union County Animal Control. Each rescue group must submit a copy of its shelter license and a list of approved person to pick up/pull animals from the Union County Animal Control.
VALENTINES
Rather than "pledges" being made to cover vetting costs we call them "Valentines". We will post the cost of vetting and ask for Valentines to help cover the cost. Their Valentines will send those funds to UCAC to reimburse the cost they spent on the vetting so this can continue to help the dogs and cats, possible adopters and/or take some cost off of receiving rescues.
When we post "WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE?" There will be a cost for their vetting listed. This will be where you can pledge.
