Please bring back the Rescue Me Tuesday program in Harnett County.
Why is this important?
The Harnett County shelter used to have a program in which 501(c)3 animal rescues could adopt from the shelter on Tuesdays without paying the $25 pull fee. This was an incredible service to offer so that rescues could claim unwanted pets before the Wednesday euthanasia deadline. Some rescues will take several animals at a time, but that adds up to hundreds of dollars that is better spent on food, shelter, and rehabilitation.
Harnett county has a high influx of unwanted animals that the shelter is unable to manage. The Rescue Me Tuesday program ensured that every animal possible avoided an untimely end from euthanasia. It is an opportunity for the burden of the shelter to be shouldered by volunteers in the area. And reviving the program sends a good message to Harnett County residents that the shelter is rescue-friendly and they care about animals!
We need a good number of Harnett County residents and animal-lovers from the surrounding area to sign this petition encouraging Harnett County to bring the program back.
