Where are all of our Adoptable Pets? 

We, at Saving Saluda Strays, have created incredible partnerships with several rescue organizations up North. These rescues take in approximately 95% of the animals we rescue. Why?

 

We believe in taking animals out of areas with challenging conditions to more favorable environments up North. This is not just a matter of logistics, but a testament to the power of collaboration and the shared goal of animal welfare advocates across different regions. This movement is driven by the stark differences in ordinances and laws related to animal welfare, with Northern regions often having more comprehensive and stringent regulations that better protect the rights and well-being of animals. The superior legal framework ensure that animals are not only rescued from immediate danger but are also given a chance at a better life, with higher adoption rates and more robust support systems for their care.

The role of rescue partners in this process cannot be overstated. We work together with these organizations and individuals tirelessly to bridge the gap between the need for rescue and the availability of safe, loving homes for animals. We coordinate transportation, handle legal requirements, and provide medical and emotional care for animals in transition. This dedication ensures that the journey North is not just a physical relocation, but a transformational journey towards a new life.

This collaboration between regions with varying laws and the commitment of rescue partners highlights a crucial aspect of animal welfare: the need for a unified approach. While the superior ordinances up North provide a safe haven, the ultimate goal is to elevate animal welfare standards everywhere, so that one day, the need to transport animals for rescue becomes the exception, not the norm. Until then, the continued efforts of those involved in these rescue missions serve as a beacon of hope and a call to action for communities everywhere to strengthen their commitment to animal welfare.
