Our Intake Policy:


Genesis Animal Rescue receives animals into their program via notification of animals in acute crisis situation or through affiliated animal control.

Although Genesis does not accept owner relinquished animals, we do provide guidance and assistance in helping owners rehoming their pets. Assistance includes a guide for rehoming your pet and listing your pet as a courtesy listing on our website IF the animal meets the following criteria: healthy, up to date on routine vaccinations and spayed/neutered and no history of aggression. 

When we courtesy list pets on our website for owners there is no fee to us and we are happy to help you with questions/concerns on choosing the right home, etc but the pet will NOT have any true affiliation with our organization, will stay in your home until placement and therefore you will be responsible for screening potential adopters and choosing the best home for your pet. Ulimately you know your pet best, so will make the best decision in choosing his/her adoptive home. Our website uploads to over 20 pet search engines to help advertise, but can still find less than ideal pet owners, so it is necessary to screen people with at least a vet reference and/or personal reference prior to inviting them to meet/adopt your pet. 

Remember, if you adopted your pet from an animal rescue/shelter organization, be sure to contact them first if you are needing to rehome your adopted pet. Most organizations require you to return the pet to them if you are no longer able to care for him/her. This is done in the best interest of the pet so they can once again find a wonderful family, not be left in a less than ideal home environment leaving them vulnerable to neglect and abandonment.

If you would like your pet to be listed as a Courtesy Listing on our website and your pet meets our criteria: healthy, up to date on routine vaccinations and spayed/neutered and no history of aggression, please complete the form below and our Intake Coordinator will be in contact with you shortly.
