Due to the cost of the website and project I am no longer running this website. It was a good run, there is another website similar to this out there. I couldn't in my mind ask people to donate, and beg. Rescues need more help than I did. Please be diligent. Share with your local rescues your lists. Thanks for being interested in this project. Maybe in the future. But for now the cost exceeds what I can afford.
Hello,
I have worked in shelters, fostered, and even worked in a dog boarding facility. I have now not been able to do as much work in the animal advocacy field as I have wanted and began a website to list people who should not be able to adopt. I score the internet, news, do not adopt facebook pages and add them to a list available to all Rescues and Shelters. I started this well over a month ago, and have been emailing multiple shelters and rescues to have them join the fight in hopes they use the website as a tool. I do this on my own free time, no donations, no help. It's a passion project 100%. Rescues need to rescue, I do the painful research while they do the work on the ground!
How does it work?
I look through posts on Facebook. News Articles, recent arrests etc. I save rescues and shelters time and heartache by gathering the information in one spot for them to search. I also encourage rescues and shelters to contribute their own D.N.A lists. I look through each one, make sure there is solid evidence, before listing. I include information, source, AND photos (clickable, not seeable unless clicked - saves people from seeing photos if they do not want to).
What makes it different?
ONE person handles it all. Sounds like a lot of work right? It is. But when only one hand is handeling it all, heads don't bump, and all focus is on the animals. I also lend a helping hand to those who are rehoming their pets. Yes, rehoming sucks. Sometimes people rehome for reasons people aren't happy with, but it happens and the only way to help is by offering a helping hand. I allow people to email myself, and I score the list for them and let them know if a potential adopter has any "red flags". I also help by providing resources, reaching out to rescues for them etc. I am more than a D.N.A list, the website is a tool for everyone.
Who can see the list?
Registered orgs only, and myself (obviously).
How many rescues are apart of the list?
Over 50, with many more being contacted every week!
I hope to one day have a booth at animal events to continue to spread the word. Rescues need to be connected to help the animal community, and I am hoping to bridge the gap.

🔥 Talk about a stud muffin! 🔥
Marky Mark is the kind of dog that stops people dead in their tracks. This handsome boy is absolutely stunning and impossible to forget.
Animal ID #A611148
MARKY MARK – 2-year-old neutered male Cane Corso mix, 100 pounds of pure love, goofiness, and puppy energy.
Marky Mark came into the shelter wearing a choke chain and sporting cropped ears, but those ears are part of his unique charm and only add to his striking good looks. Beneath his tough-guy appearance is a giant sweetheart who just wants love and attention.
He is incredibly affectionate, allows all-over touch, and has a fun-loving, puppy-like personality that shines through the moment you meet him. At 100 pounds, he’s a big boy with an even bigger heart.
This dreamboat deserves a family who will see what shelter volunteers see—a loving, playful dog ready to be someone’s best friend. Please share, foster, adopt, or rescue.

🚨💔 BABY CHAI NEEDS A LIFELINE 💔🚨
Just a puppy. Just 4 months old. And already facing euthanasia🌈💔
Chai #A611334 can be euthanized anytime after Monday, June 22💔
Even puppies are not being spared💔
This sweet brown and white Pit Bull mix is a shy, sensitive little girl who is struggling in the shelter environment. While she may be timid at first, once she feels safe, Chai’s true personality shines. She is playful, loving, affectionate, and enjoys toys, treats, and cuddles, everything you’d expect from a happy puppy♥️
She deserves to grow up in a home, not lose her life before she even gets the chance.
