Mission Statement
The mission and vision for Bluetails Pet Rescue is to save (FREEDOM) dogs and cats from shelters, abandonment, surrender or neglected by placing into temporary homes (FOSTER) and providing veterinarian care and rehabilitation as needed to prepare for permanent placement into loving homes (FOREVER). We are an all-volunteer, foster home based, certified 501(c)(3) dog & cat rescue organization based in New Orleans, Louisiana . We do not have a physical shelter. Instead, we operate primarily through our foster homes, online databases and at adoption events/expos. The majority of our animals come from animal control groups and open admission shelters in Louisiana and throughout the Gulf Coast Region, where overcrowding and overpopulation lead to the euthanasia of millions of healthy, friendly pets every year.
Description
Joining the Bluetails Pet Rescue community affords you the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of all the displaced pets that come into our rescue. You, as a volunteer, are a valued and necessary factor in the long-term continuation of our mission. Without your physical help and emotional caring, we could not survive. Volunteers are one of the lifelines of our community; they help spread the word about our organization and the animals’ needs. Volunteers improve our operations, providing services that would otherwise be fiscally and physically impossible.
Being a volunteer is extremely rewarding, educational, exciting and fun. You can have a huge impact on the lives of homeless animals. In many cases, this is the first time someone has truly cared for them. The time and energy contributed by volunteers keep our programs functioning. Since your support as a volunteer is so extremely important, your decision to participate must be made with the full understanding of the commitment and responsibility it demands.
Thank you for giving your time and energy to the animals at Bluetails. We hope the time you spend here will be as rewarding to you as it is to the animals.
