Answer by W.
You need to file forms with the Feds to receive a 501c(I may be wrong with the numbers it may be 503c) permit in order to be recognized for tax exemptions.You then need to contact your local governmemt about zoning and other ordinances. You can find out exactly what is needed by Googling “starting an animal sanctuary” . You will also need to taken proper training on handling all sorts of animals in various needs and situations.Good luck

This is the most touching story ever. I didn't make this video, but whoever did, THANK's for the great story! UPDATE(March 26): Found the originating YouTube Channel @ www.youtube.com posted it on my site @ www.macbrosplace.com So it gets more exposure. Please support www.hopeforpaws.org so more animals like Fiona can be helped. UPDATE April 21st – To all who think the ads on this video are generating revenue for me – No, you are so very wrong. Why you ask? Well, for starters, this is not my video. And the most obvious reason is the soundtrack and that it is copyrighted. YouTube is coining all the revenue, not me.

A Handy Dog Adoption Checklist (infographic)
Robert Wagner is famous for his numerous quotes, but one that we all know is: “A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won't be too bad.” And that is really true. No matter what we do, if we leave our dogs alone, scold them or sometimes […]

Building Bonds: Getting Close to Your New Rescue Dog
Adopting a rescue dog is a thoroughly rewarding experience. And a huge number of people can testify to this: approximately 1.6 million dogs are adopted from US animal shelters each year. Whilst most dogs that end up in shelters come from happy, stable homes, some experience a difficult start in life and suffer neglect and even abuse. As […]

Oh sorry, but i meant that there is one account that did upload this that many times, and yeah i read the description afterwards, woops.
You have no compassion and that only shows that you are ignorant. Animals are the only living things that will give humans unconditional love, not asking for anything in return but to be loved.
these videos have inspired me to adopt a dog 😉
This may have tipped the balance with me, i want to adopt a animal shelter dog!
Well, you can suck a dick fucking douchebag. Have a heart
I thank God that this world still have these nice people to adopt such a blind and homeless dog. Stay blessed!
had me in tears, I’m so happy this poor being was saved, thank God for the angels on earth, I love it,
What kind of dog is she?
This is by far my favorite video on YouTube!!! You are amazing in every way to take care of her and she looks so happy now! May God bless you because you have a good heart.
Gross, how can you be so stupid?
Touching!
:O She’s wearing the cone of shame!
ha ha ha ha ha ive a dog, thank you!
i’m crying coz he couldn’t put trust in any humans and just froze out of fear T.T i hope he will be treated as one of family and forget the sad past.
you don’t know much and it shows, without animals there would be no human, so respect them like they where human. It’s the human that is filthy and useless on this planet, not animals. Thank you
me and my girlfriend, we do that but with cats, vause in Montréal there are no dogs like that, we never see any, and if we did we would du the same thing. We love animals.
You say humans over animals, that means, Breivik over animals/”filthy dogs”. wow..
Clearly your ignorant & disturbed brain have forgotten, who “that thing” is, a:
“Norwegian mass murderer!”
“That thing” is a human too, so the fact you would rather help him, than dogs, says all about you. Do you really hate animals that much?
Anyway I’ll be happy to see you telling that to the victims parents, that you believe “that thing” is more important than animals.
aww. fionna’s so cute
God bless u for what u do
Too much.
Go to your local petsmart and start working with that established rescue. Wew can only make a difference if we all work together. Each person trying to do their thing actaully cause more of a problem. We do have several rescue that are coming in with us so we can do more.
Aside from the legal things (forms, taxes, money, business prep, bank accounts, things like that) you’ll need space… lots and lots of space. Plenty of kennels and food, a good supply of water and a good vet that you can rely on. You may also need foster homes for the dogs to live with for a while to see how the rescued animals react around people, kids, other animals. You migh also want to talk with some other rescues and ask them. They can give you more specifics and things about charges and adoption forms, vet bills, and all that.
Good luck with it when/if you get one started. It’s a great thing you’d be doing. All of my animals are rescues and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I want to do the same thing, so I will be watching this…Good luck!
There is a lot involved. Legally, you have to apply for an IRS 501 (c) 3 number which is your identification for taxes. Then you have to apply for an EIN number, which is another form of ID. Those can take up to 6 months. On top of that, you have to raise money, and establish contacts with local shelters, which you can’t take dogs out if until you have your 501 (c)3. Next you need to find volunteers to be fosters and help you run the thing.. You have to establish find a vet to do all you medical, which will be expensive. on top of all that, you have to find your dogs, pay for food, rehabilitate them, and rehome them. It’s tough. What area do you live in?
Money. A frend who’s a vet for discounted services. Be prepared to have LOTS of vet expenses with shots, health issues and neutering/spaying. You’ll need foster homes so problem dogs can be evaulated to see if they are adoptable. This is NOT easy, and it’s VERY expensive. You could be stuck with many dogs that you cannot place, so you’d need to be prepared that some may need to be put down.
I cannot stress the money side of this enough….
