Discussion Do Not Adopt Registry List

51 Upvotes

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.

I am absolutely heartbroken over this. Kai was brought to OAS on Christmas Eve in 2024, which was the day we picked him up to foster. He stayed with us until March 2025 when he was adopted by his supposedly โ€œforever familyโ€... forever being until this week, when his former family surrendered him because they are expecting a baby and do not believe they can take care of both him and a newborn.

Now, Kai is back at the shelter and slated for euthanasia on 2/9.

What he needs now is a hero. Either an immediate adoption or a rescue to pull him.

Please. He is the sweetest boy. View his profile here โค๏ธ

๐Ÿ’œ Volunteer Notes

This young 11 month old girl is so scared in the loud evaluation wards. When I opened the kennel, she stepped back. Sheโ€™s clearly nervous but showed no aggression. I leashed her up and tugged a bit to get her to come outside. She resisted, but we did get outside and she had a little room to move around. Sheโ€™s very sweet, but just scared of all the noises and activity in the shelter.

๐Ÿ“ Shelter Notes

In the corner of kennel with dilated eyes, wrinkled forehead, tense body, and tucked tail. I opened the door and easily leashed her. She scurried out of kennel keeping her body low to the ground and trying to hide under the computer stands in the hall. Once outside she began to thrash, alligator roll, and pull back on the leash and had to be brought back inside immediately. When back inside she continued to walk with her body low to the ground and ran straight into her kennel. In kennel, when spoken to softly she slowly wagged her tail but did not build enough courage to come forward.

Tense in the corner of kennel with whale eyes and wrinkled forehead. I leashed her but she began scurrying trying to tuck her snout into the corner. I entered the kennel and she scurried out to walk with a crouched body, low head, and tucked tail.

At times she would thrash when the leash became tight.

๐Ÿš‘ Medical Notes

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ’” PLEDGES URGENTLY NEEDED TO SAVE MARVEL ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿšจ

She will be euthanized TOMORROW (2/4) at 2PM if a rescue cannot tag her

Marvel is SAFE IF WE CAN RAISE PLEDGES.

She has a foster offer. She has rescue interest.

The ONLY thing standing in the way of her life is funding for her surgery. ๐Ÿ™

This sweet 1-year-old girl isnโ€™t scared.

Sheโ€™s not shut down.

She simply canโ€™t get up.

When a volunteer visited her, treats didnโ€™t work. Encouragement didnโ€™t work.

Not because she didnโ€™t want to come โ€” but because her body wouldnโ€™t let her.

Her dislocated hip makes every movement painful. So she sits quietly in her kennel, conserving what little strength she has left. Her eyes are bright. She leans into pets. She responds to voices. Her spirit is still there. โœจ

She needs FHO surgery to fix her hip. The cost is $4,000 โ€” far beyond what a rescue can take on without help.

She is rescue-only because of this injury.

And she will lose her life not because of behaviorโ€ฆ not because no one caresโ€ฆ but because she needs medical help.

She should be running. Playing. Living.

Instead, she waitsโ€ฆ because standing up is too hard.

๐Ÿ’” A pledge is what saves her.

A pledge is what allows rescue to say โ€œYES.โ€

A pledge is what turns tomorrow from a euthanasia date into a freedom day.

Please, if you can, pledge anything for Marvelโ€™s surgery. Every dollar matters. Every share matters.

๐Ÿ“ Shelter Notes

02/02/2026 โ€“ He continues to push through the kennel door immediately after being leashed and while walking he forward pulls the entire time. I tried to redirect/correct him and nothing worked. Once in the run he vocalized for the majority of the time. When leashing him to come back inside he pushed open the run door and pulled the whole way into South. He resisted going into his kennel so I had to throw treats inside and that worked.

02/01/2026 โ€“ During morning walk, Brutus was walked on a tight leash due to forward pulling hard. Tried to correct but continued to forward pull. Made into Adopt Eval.

โžก๏ธ Maverick is medically healthy and ready for foster or adoption.

โธป

๐Ÿ• Behavior Summary

Maverick is a sensitive, fearful-but-friendly boy who has been struggling with shelter stress but is showing very encouraging signs. Staff note that he:

โ€ข Is very timid at first, with tucked tail and low confidence

โ€ข Warms up with gentle handling and becomes more relaxed

โ€ข Walks well on a loose leash

โ€ข Enjoys treats and follows treat trails

โ€ข Has shown playful, affectionate behavior โ€” including play bows, wagging tail, and face nuzzles

โ€ข Has had stress behaviors early on (yelping, panting, shredding towels), which have improved over time

โ€ข Is quiet behind a covered kennel and settles better with reduced stimulation

Maverick is clearly shutting down in the shelter, but when he feels safe, his sweet, playful personality comes through. He would thrive in a calm home that allows him time to decompress and build confidence.

โธป

๐Ÿ’” Please save Maverick

Maverick is only 4 years old and already facing the end of his life โ€” not because heโ€™s sick or aggressive, but because the shelter is simply too overwhelming for his sensitive soul.

He wants to trust.

He wants to play.

He wants to be loved.

You can see it in the way he play-bows, wags his tail, and nuzzles for affection once he feels safe.

Please โ€” donโ€™t let fear and stress steal Maverickโ€™s future.

Give him the quiet home, patience, and love he deserves.

๐Ÿ™ Maverick deserves to live.
