In the world of animal rescue, time is often of the essence. For Into Loving Homes, the mission is crystal clear: find loving homes for animals in need before it is too late. But what happens when we don’t find a home in time?
To explain this best, it’s crucial to understand that Into Loving Homes is not a shelter. We don’t ‘take animals in’. Instead, we work tirelessly to match animals with suitable adopters from the comfort of their current homes. This unique and innovative approach comes with several perks:
Reduced Stress: Home-to-Home adoption minimises the stress on the animals. They get to stay in familiar surroundings while waiting for their forever families.
Personalised Matchmaking: We take the time to understand the needs and personality of each animal, allowing us to lasting matches with adopters.
Faster Placement: Animals can find new homes more swiftly, reducing the risk of them ending up in overcrowded shelters with long waitlists. Nothing is stopping an adoption from happening within just hours of listing an animal for adoption. Whereas the average in a shelter is around 70 days (with 6-18 month waitlists and a euthanasia rate of 1 in 5 for cats and 1 in 10 for dogs).
However, when we miss a deadline, the consequences can be heartbreaking.
Some families are able to hold onto the animal as long as we require, to assure a best matched home. However, in many cases, animals that aren’t rehomed in time, are given a deadline and they face euthanasia if that is their families only option.
So, what can you do to help? When you inquire about adopting, please be prepared to act quickly. The sooner we can find loving homes for these animals, the better their chances of a bright future. Let’s work together to ensure that every animal in need finds the love and care they deserve through our unique home-to-home adoption service.
