If you are involved in dog breed rescue, cat rescue or work for a humane society or animal shelter, you may have wondered...

Why Do Some Pet Rescue Groups Struggle While Others Successfully Save More Pets Every Year?

Successful rescue groups and humane organizations raise more money, inspire more volunteers, get great press, and have more time to spend with the animals in their care. How do they do it?

These pet rescue professionals have a secret. They don't work harder or longer hours. They are successful because they have the tools, knowledge, and strategies they need to run an efficient organization, and save more lives.

Join the National Association of Pet Rescue Professionals (NAPRP) and get Immediate Access to the information and tools you need to save more pet's lives!

When you join the NAPRP, you receive tangible benefits in three important areas:

Adopter Education

Never had time to write that adoption handbook? Or is the one you have sort of embarrassing? When you join the NAPRP, you get these adopter education benefits which lower returns:

Two printed books specifically for adopted pet owners.
Free customization of the book cover with your logo, along with a huge discount if you'd like to use the books as a fundraising or educational tool.
100 pet education articles you can modify for your own use. They are word processing files, so you can easily change the text to add your own logo and include information that relates just to your breed or the behavioral techniques you have found most effective.

Fundraising and Promotion

Imagine if you didn't have to worry about how to pay for that next bag of dog food or kitty litter? Fundraising and promotion doesn't have to be a grind. When you join the NAPRP, you receive:

101 Fundraising ideas specific to humane and rescue groups.
Articles on grant writing and information on available grants for rescues and other humane groups.
Worksheets for pledges, budgeting, contests, order forms, and raffle tickets. All of our worksheets are word processing files, so you can add your logo and customize them for your group.
Templates for common files we all need, such as newsletters, brochures, business cards, and Web sites, which you can download instantly.
Donation thank you cards and artwork for super easy fundraisers you can pull off with limited resources.

Administration and Management

Creating all the forms and procedures you need for a successful organization can be time consuming. It's a lot faster and easier to modify existing forms than it is to create them from scratch. When you join the NAPRP, you receive:

Breed selection worksheet and preadoption forms to help you match the right critter with the right home
Volunteer forms and information on managing volunteers and knowing when volunteers can become a liability
Telephone forms, so you never lose another message, no matter how many volunteers are manning the desk.
Fax cover sheets for faxing found pet notices to local newspapers (many will list them for free).
Lost pet signs to hand out when people lose their dog or cat.
Incoming pet forms with questions to draw out information from reluctant humans.
"Want forms" so you can keep track of the type of pet people want. When the animal comes in, you are just a phone call away from giving them a new home.
ID Tag Registration form. If you use numbered ID tags, use this form to keep track of the pet that belongs to each ID.

That's not all...

When you join the NAPRP, along with all the templates, tools, documents, and information, you also receive ongoing support. Even if you are running a tiny rescue organization in a rural area, you aren't alone. When you join the NAPRP, you receive.

Access to Our Private, Secure Members-only Discussion Board

In our private member discussion board, you can receive advice, support, and ideas from the NAPRP staff and other members. Tell us your most outlandish idea or show us your latest brochure. We'll provide constructive feedback based on our years of graphic design, promotion, Web site, and humane work.

This community is completely private and strictly moderated. You won't have to worry about bad publicity spewed all over the Internet or being flamed by some wayward off-kilter volunteer with a bone to pick.

Teleseminars with Experts from Diverse Humane Organizations

Can't afford to attend the big humane conferences? Every month, we'll hold teleseminars with experts from humane groups around the country. We all benefit when we work together.

You'll learn from experts on everything from fundraising to grantwriting and gain information about programs from organizations like Best Friends Animal Society, ASPCA, and the HSUS. This page has descriptions of some of our recent teleseminars, which are all recorded and saved for posterity in the member area of the site. So don't worry if you can't make a call; they are all recorded and archived, so you can listen at your convenience. This audio library will continue to grow and evolve into a tremendous resource you can refer back to whenever you need the information.
