Rescue FAQs
Stop the Suffering exists for the sole purpose of rescuing dogs and cats from high-kill rural shelters throughout rural Ohio and transporting them to safe environments where they can be evaluated and matched with their forever family.
We raise funds to provide veterinary care, transportation, and food for rescued animals, and also work to provide instruction and resources to promote responsible pet ownership in the community.

Our Adoption Process
Each dog and cat in our rescue group is special. Every one has it's own unique personality and needs. Not every dog or cat is right for every home. Our adoption process is designed to make sure you and your new pet will have a successful future together.
ASSESSMENT: MATCHING DOG AND ADOPTER
- Adopter discusses the dog or cat of choice with an STS adoption specialist.
- The STS adoption specialist discusses the needs and temperament of dog with individual/family.
- Both needs of the dog or cat and the criteria of the family are very carefully assessed to assure the best match possible. Items considered include:
-- Temperament and age of dog or cat
-- Veterinary/health needs of dog or cat
-- Individual/families desires and perception of the perfect pet
No match is “perfect” but STS strives for the best match possible.
-- Ability of individual/family to meet the veterinary, daily-living, behavioral and emotional needs of the dog or cat.
- STS visits the home of any adoptive family. If the family lives out of state, STS may arrange for another local rescue to conduct the home visit.
- Other means of assessment include:
-- Veterinary reference
-- Personal references by two to three individuals who know the adopter and the adopter’s capability to provide a loving home for an animal
