Welcome to NAIA's all-state all-animal rescue lists.

THE NAIA ALL-STATE, ALL-ANIMAL RESCUE LISTS ARE TO PROMOTE RESCUE. The lists are moderated; no other posts whatsoever will be permitted, i.e., no politics, no propaganda, no "bleeding heart" stories, no rallies to call/write/fax anyone about anything, etc. Anyone can post to the lists, but only subscribers will receive mail from the list.

These moderated lists are designed for:

  1. ANYONE who rescues animals to post information about animals that need homes.
  2. ANYONE who needs to find a home for an animal (there are restrictions; this is NOT a "for sale" list). Owners may post animals they can no longer keep for whatever reason.
  3. ANYONE interested in ADOPTING a rescue or obtaining an animal directly from an owner who can no longer keep it may post that they are looking to adopt.
  4. ANYONE who has had an animal lost or stolen may post information about that animal.
  5. ANYONE who needs transport for a rescue may post info about the proposed trip to find volunteers in each state for various legs of the trip, and anyone willing to transport and animal may their indicate willingness to do so.
  6. ANYONE who is looking for a particular rescue, i.e., breed rescue, species rescue, etc., may post asking someone with that rescue to contact them.
  7. THESE LISTS ARE AN ALL SPECIES RESCUE LIST. Any species of animal, including all breeds, mixes, etc., are accepted on the list.
  8. Introductions are acceptable.
  9. All posts should relate to the state in which they are posted. If you are at the border where states meet, for instance Memphis is at the corner of Tennessee where Mississippi and Arkansas come together, you may post in all three states in most cases.
  10. We reserve the right to send posts out occasionally that are outside the above topic parameters, if we feel that such posts will be beneficial to the list members.

When posting, please use one of the following headings in the subject line:

  • WANT: If you are looking for an animal for you or someone else.
  • LOST: If you are posting about a lost animal.
  • FOUND: If you are posting about a found animal.
  • AVAIL: If you are posting about an animal that is available.
  • TRANS: If you are posting about an animal that needs transportation from point A to point B.
  • SHELTER: If you know of particular dogs in a particular shelter that need rescue. Be sure to give the location of the shelter, a contact phone number, and whether the animal is in danger of being euthanized.
