Will Bliss take the animal for me?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Unfortunately, we are not able to take in strays from the general public.&nbsp; Your best bet is to place a sign up in the area where you found the animal in an effort to find the owner.&nbsp; You can also call animal control shelters and vet offices in the area and report the found pet.<b> </b>Also, any vet office will be able to scan the pet for a possible microchip, which will help track down the owner.&nbsp; If you do not locate the owner and are unable to keep the animal yourself, try your best to rehome the animal through friends, family, church, etc.&nbsp; Surrendering a found pet to animal control should be your last resort, as most if not all animal control facilities are overcrowded with high euthanasia rates.&nbsp; And yes, even a small, cute and healthy pure-bred pet has a low chance of adoption through an animal control facility, unfortunately.&nbsp;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>One way we can help</b> is to have you become a "foster home" for the stray you've found.&nbsp; You will need to have the stray spayed/neutered, heartworm tested and vaccinated (through the low-cost clinic we work with: www.paradoxspayneuter.com).&nbsp; After that is done, we can list the dog on our websites and you may bring the dog to our adoption events.&nbsp; Upon adoption, we will split the adoption fee with you so that you get back most of the money you spent at the clinic.&nbsp; Bliss will keep the other half as a fundraiser - money that will help our rescue dogs.
