The Current Staff of CLRO!
13 years ago
General
Founder:
tymid, myself! I started this organization after learning about the statistics involving free pets on Craig's List. After doing some studies of my own with the help of others on CL, I learned that the findings were astounding. I couldn't sit idly by and let these animals be tortured, killed, or set out to be strays where they could get hit by a car, or worse.
I am the primary caregiver. I feed, water, evaluate, socialize and rehabilitate these animals. I also do the home screening for people who want to adopt, which involves an application and a home visit. I travel all across the state to pick up these animals. I mainly focus on puppies or kittens, and more often snag the puppies or kittens that are too young to be adopted out; those that are only 4 or 5 weeks old, and I usually find homes for them at about 8 or 10 weeks, when they're ready to go to a new home.
Staff:
Lucien: My roommate, and best friend. He works as a socializer, and travels with me on home visits to ensure mine and the animal's safety.
Gracie, the Border collie: Gracie acts as a surrogate mother to many of the babies I bring in. She's extremely patient, and aids the kittens especially in getting socialized with dogs.
Chloe, the Border collie: She is the watcher of the kittens to make sure they don't get hurt. May sound odd, but she does a really good job! She follows them around everywhere, engages in play, and cleans them.
Sarabi, the Maine Coon/Ragdoll kitten: The newest permanent addition to our household, Sarabi aids with helping the puppies get socialized to cats. She's extremely patient with even the most excitable of puppies, and will cuddle the younger animals for comfort.

I think what you're doing here is really great. I'm always telling people to never give away a pet as "free to a good home" but I feel like I'm not really reaching enough people, and they don't always listen. I will post a journal about this group, hopefully that will help get the word out.
