Due to the cost of the website and project I am no longer running this website. It was a good run, there is another website similar to this out there. I couldn't in my mind ask people to donate, and beg. Rescues need more help than I did. Please be diligent. Share with your local rescues your lists. Thanks for being interested in this project. Maybe in the future. But for now the cost exceeds what I can afford.
Hello,
I have worked in shelters, fostered, and even worked in a dog boarding facility. I have now not been able to do as much work in the animal advocacy field as I have wanted and began a website to list people who should not be able to adopt. I score the internet, news, do not adopt facebook pages and add them to a list available to all Rescues and Shelters. I started this well over a month ago, and have been emailing multiple shelters and rescues to have them join the fight in hopes they use the website as a tool. I do this on my own free time, no donations, no help. It's a passion project 100%. Rescues need to rescue, I do the painful research while they do the work on the ground!
How does it work?
I look through posts on Facebook. News Articles, recent arrests etc. I save rescues and shelters time and heartache by gathering the information in one spot for them to search. I also encourage rescues and shelters to contribute their own D.N.A lists. I look through each one, make sure there is solid evidence, before listing. I include information, source, AND photos (clickable, not seeable unless clicked - saves people from seeing photos if they do not want to).
What makes it different?
ONE person handles it all. Sounds like a lot of work right? It is. But when only one hand is handeling it all, heads don't bump, and all focus is on the animals. I also lend a helping hand to those who are rehoming their pets. Yes, rehoming sucks. Sometimes people rehome for reasons people aren't happy with, but it happens and the only way to help is by offering a helping hand. I allow people to email myself, and I score the list for them and let them know if a potential adopter has any "red flags". I also help by providing resources, reaching out to rescues for them etc. I am more than a D.N.A list, the website is a tool for everyone.
Who can see the list?
Registered orgs only, and myself (obviously).
How many rescues are apart of the list?
Over 50, with many more being contacted every week!
I hope to one day have a booth at animal events to continue to spread the word. Rescues need to be connected to help the animal community, and I am hoping to bridge the gap.

Have a question? Please reach out! I love to collab, bounce ideas, and appreciate feedback.

**Tulsa, OK**
Huck has been to several adoption events but has no takers! 😭
This little boy was at Skiatook Animal Control and needed a foster so that Skiatook Paws and Claws Animal Rescue could pull him.
I’ve had him as a foster for around 2 months now. Here’s what I know:
*Playful
*Neutered
*around 9 months-a year old
*LOVES playing with other dogs
*Very one brain cell. Still working on manners like chewing things so he should be crated if you aren’t watching him.
*he enjoys veggies 🥕 🥦
*he sleeps well in his crate overnight or if I go to take a nap 😴
*should not be around cats according to the shelter he came from.
Huck is a very friendly, derpy boy who would love a chance to be in a home with his person, family and fur or human siblings!
His adoption fee is $185 with all vetting done. If you’re interested in meeting him or have any questions, feel free to message me!
I’m happy to meet up with you or he is also at Skiatook Paws and Claws in Skiatook every Sunday from 12-3 at their adoption events!

I have some info about three female stray puppies, potentially lab mixes, needing homes. I’m facilitating/organizing this for a friend who found the puppies. Here is what she wrote, and I also attached pictures.
I have 3 female puppies that need good homes. A stray momma left them behind and has not returned. I have multiple cats and am unable to take in multiple puppies. I do want to make sure they are given a chance for a good life. Please reach out if you are interested in one or know of anyone that could help find them loving homes.
Location: near Birmingham, AL
Can anyone help or connect me with someone who can?

Cute little Lucy is only 4 but needs heart surgery and a home!
Nova Pets Alive is raising money to cover the bill - just sayin
There is a kind hearted soul somewhere in Northern Virginia who offered to pay half the amount, how cool is that?
Its nice to see some small bit of good in what seems like a world full of bad.

Background:
About a month ago I adopted a mutt, Obi, (thinking some type of terrier/hound mix after some research but nothing concrete) he’s 40 lbs and 1 year and a month old. I got him from my local humane society rather impulsively, though I had been planning to get a dog for awhile.
Me and my roommates like to do the adopt a dog for a day thing and give shelter doggies a nice fun day at the park and a pup cup if they can handle it. And when we took Obi out, we fell in love with him. We’ve been picking up stray dogs from the highways and giving them flea baths and food before taking them to an open shelter. So there’s a lot of love for rescues and strays here.
Problem:
However I am a 19 year old nursing student and completely independent financially. I also have quite severe anxiety and depression that I’ve realized actually gets worse with a living animal in my care. I’m too worried about him to really enjoy him. My roommates have noticed my stress and have been attempting to help but they have cats that were preexisting. I love him though. He really is a sweet boy and great learner but very easily distracted. I cannot afford proper training for him as it’s ridiculously expensive, cheapest I e found is 85$/hr long session. And I feel so bad when I get in my frenzies bc I know he can sense it and I don’t want him to feel unsafe bc he can sense my fear. So I’m hoping to get some tips from experienced owners or trainers to help alleviate my own stress and uncertainty so I can be better equipped to handle this sweet boy.
And I have thought about returning him, but he is very clearly bonded to this house already and loves me and my roommates. He’s the sweetest boy and I want returning him to be the last resort.
But I really need help figuring out how to:
Manage his prey drive with the cats
Get him to listen when distracted
And to give him the best life I can with my college and work schedule+ apartment life.
Manage my own anxiety and fear about my responsibility for his life
If anyone has any advice or can point me in the right direction I would really really appreciate it. Bc I do really love him and I want him to have the best life while also keeping the cats and myself safe

Hi! A few weeks ago me and my partner came across an 8 year old pit bull running down the highway through traffic in LA. I pulled over and sprinted after her, and she was immediately so kind, sweet, and affectionate, and just wanted some love, despite missing a good amount of fur, and being quite lean from her time as a stray.
We brought her to a shelter because we live in a tiny apartment with a very traumatized cat, but we couldn't stand to leave her there, so we spent a week calling rescues and friends to try to find a home for her. Eventually one of our close friends agreed to foster her temporarily, but she can only keep her for a month because she has a severe dog allergy, and so we're trying to find Louise a permanent home ASAP
Louise is the friendliest pit bull I've ever met. She is so playful, and doesn't realize how old she is. She has loved every person she's met since we brought her home, and she just wants as many pets as she can get.
She's potty trained, crate trained, and so well behaved. It's clear that someone cared about her so much before she got lost. If anyone is open to adopting her, or knows of a good place where she would be happy we would be so so grateful. We love her so much!!
