  • 1.  Seeking any groups experienced in animal hoarding cases

    Posted 03-08-2023 09:25 AM

    Our regional coalition is talking about trying to set something up to better deal with animal hoarding cases as a group. We're starting to talk about structure and are seeking not to reinvent the wheel. Does anyone have something formal already written for this situation in terms of procedures that you are willing to share?

    I hope some great ideas get posted on this. Currently our hoarding cases, we do all of our intake protocols on site. From HW testing to vaxes and preventative. Then we get in touch with all of our partners and friends in rescue and those who have some room get what they can when available space is open. We have stayed on site as long as 3 days. It feels like their should be an easier way but easier ways are hard to find when it seems everyone is over packed and drowning.

    Please consider Animal Rescue Corps a resource. ARC was founded in 2010 to support large-scale situations of animal cruelty (hoarding, mills, etc) that exceed the local community's resources. ARC brings all tactical equipment, human resources, expertise, networks, and financial backing necessary, including evidence collection and documentation, detailed medical findings, and expert testimony for legal hearings or criminal trials related to the case, all at no cost to communities.  

    ARC typically provides medical, physical, and social care to the animals in our Rescue Center outside Nashville, TN or in a temporary emergency shelter, taking burden off local shelters, including in seizures all the way through full custody being granted, at which point we match the animals with our vetted placement network partners in high adoption areas and transport them there to find loving homes. This allows limited space and resources in shelters to be used for adoptable animals.  

    ARC rescues nationally and sometimes beyond, with a focus on under-resourced regions, and can also provide advisement.
