The Cattledog.com rescue pages get hundreds of hits per week from people looking to add a "second hand" ACD to their pack. The rescue pages are my top priority here at cattledog.com and I try my best to get them updated as quickly as possible after a dog is submitted. The following guidelines will make it easier for all of us to get dogs listed here as quickly as possible so that potential adopters can see these wonderful "second hand dogs". Scroll down or click on the shortcut below to find the appropriate instructions.

A note to ALL people listing dogs....PLEASE be courteous and let me know when the dog(s) you have listed are adopted!! Email me at rescue@cattledog.com to let me know when a dog needs to be removed from the rescue pages. Be sure to include the dogs name AND location so I don't delete the wrong dog (duplicate names are frequent on these pages!).

Submission instructions for Rescue Groups or Individual Rescuers:

If you are a rescue group or an individual that does ACD rescue, please follow the guidelines below for submitting a dog and send the information to: rescue@cattledog.com. Make sure that the subject header of your email contains the word "RESCUE" in it please!

Available dog writeups should be formatted as follows:

Dogs name and pertinent information (sex, color, age, health status, quirks, etc.) At the END of the dogs description include your FULL name, email address and phone number. Please note that this is REQUIRED for listing here at cattledog.com.

A photo of the dog is encouraged and will definitely increase interest in the adoptable dog. Please send photos as ATTACHMENTS (not embedded or inline). Make every attempt to crop the photo to the dog only and keep the file size manageable (72dpi, 500x500 pixels does quite nicely). Please note that we don't list adoption fees here on these pages, that is information that you can discuss with inquiring parties on an individual basis.

This is an advertisement and your donation will help us defray the costs of listing the dogs that don't have someone caring enough to take the time to find home for their animals. Credit Card Payment accepted via PayPal (Click on button below for payment) or via snail-mail methods (PayPal is preferred as it is the quickest method) Address for payment via check or money order and/or hard copy photo submission is: Katherine Buetow, 1322 CR 2125 E, St. Joseph, Illinois, 61873. If sending a photo that you want returned, please include a self-addressed-stamped envelope.






PLEASE NOTE that owned dogs needing homes for special circumstances (divorce, move, death, allergies, behavior problems, etc.) are considered PLACEMENTS and have their own special page. Rescue groups found to be listing these types of dogs will have their posting courtesies rescinded.
