Yes, I have found some rescue groups locally, however, they charge a very hefty rehoming fee.
knowledge: Many rescue groups are created by and run by volunteers, who take the animals into their homes and care for them — including training, playing, handling medical issues, and solving behavior problems — until a suitable permanent home can be found.
response: Oh I see.   Lots of rescue groups are volunteer-created and volunteer-run.  They care for animals in their homes.   Volunteers do training, playing, and solving behaviour problems, all until a permanent home is found.

After Katrina, Pitbulls and Parolees ( a local tv show) offered services to Katrina victims who had to leave their pets behind.
knowledge: In 1991, the church was renamed Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, which became a tax-exempt, nonprofit charity, and in 2003 renamed Best Friends Animal Society.
response: Interesting.  Have you heard of Best  Friends Animal Sanctuary?  It was originally a church, but now it's a nonprofit charity.

No I haven't.  Where else could I adopt a pet?

response: Oh Adopt-a-Pet and Petfinder.org are two other places I know of.
