Snowflake Private Rescuer Application

Private Rescue

We regret that our limited resources prevent us from taking in all animals who are in need of rescues and/or new homes due to changing family situations. Snowflake is willing to list independently rescued pets on our website in an effort to help you find a prospective adopter.

For help finding a home for your own pet, please click here. Please contact us for all animals originally adopted from Snowflake. If you are having a behavioral problem that, if corrected, might allow you to keep your pet, please check out the information sections on our links page.

To list a private rescue on our website, please fill out the form below and send it to us along with a digital picture of your rescue. Your pictures (up to 3 per listing) can be sent as email attachments to privaterescue@snowflakerescue.org. If you find anything confusing or you wish more information, please email us.

This listing is provided by us at no charge. We request that you let us know when you have been successful so that we will know when the listing should be removed. Best wishes for finding a suitable adopter.

Please make your descriptions informative but concise. Due to space restrictions, we may need to edit your submission for length or clarity.
