Our partnership with Logans Run and their Spay/neuter program
along with their grant program helps the animals that we rescue.

We were invited to work with the Colwell Probation Detention Center “Rescued Program”. It is designed to help the dogs and the detainees; giving both a second chance.

The detainees are selected using different criteria into this program. They cannot have a history of any violence, and a real want to change their lives. They have to write an essay of why they think they would be appropriate. 8-10 detainees are picked for each session, lasting approximately three months.

We get to share this privilege with the Mountain Shelter, and we are each allowed to send 3 dogs each into the program. The dogs and the detainees live in a separate area away from the general population of the center, in a large area, that opens up into a large fenced area. Here they will all spend three months together, with each dog will get a handler. Cold Nose College, trainers in our area, go in weekly and teach the detainees how to train the dogs using positive reinforcement.

It’s a wonderful program for the dogs, the detainees, and society. Positive reinforcement not only works for the dogs, but for the detainees as well.

In 2013, desperate to find a shelter that would receive our animals, Castoff Pet Rescue sent out letters to all the no kill shelters in NJ and Maine, using them as a place to start. Within a couple of weeks, Coastal Humane Society in Brunswick gave us a call, stating they would like to partner with us, and receive animals from our shelter.

We began doing our transports about every 2 months, with anywhere from 5-18 kittens/cats and 20-30 pups and 10-13 dogs on board. This translates into a lot of animals saved.

Coastal drives down to us and hauls back our precious cargo, driving the non stop 20 hour trip. They require the pups and kittens to have vaccinations, worming, and be in general good health. The adults to be fully vetted, meaning spayed/neutered, blood work, vaccinations and worming. A small price to pay.

Most of these animals are taken off the street as strays, or pulled out of high kill animal control facilities, slated for euthanasia. Coastal is able to find homes for these animals that we, here in the south, have thrown away to be killed.

We are grateful to Coastal for partnering with us and taking our animals and giving them a life.

Today

Whether it is a Veterinarian’s office, spay/neuter clinic, transportation organization or other rescue or humane society, we work hard to make sure all the animals have a chance to find their furever homes.

We live in a rural area and utilize animal transportation organizations to transport animals to other rescues across the country that have adoption homes available. We often pay fees to transport animals, but we believe every animal is worth going to any lengths to find them new homes.  Many animals have adoption families before they get to their new location.

Most importantly we partner with our community through individual donations (donate today), fundraising events such as BINGO every Wednesday night and Our Thrift Store and through our Volunteers that work hard towards our Goal.
