My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Farrah was the perfect dog at the shelter! Playful, human and dog friendly, house trained, kenneled with other dogs.

But she was always the bridesmaid, never the bride. As a black dog in a high-kill shelter, Farrah was consistently overlooked. Seemed nobody noticed her.

Farrah is 18 months old. She entered the shelter at around her first birthday, meaning she lived in the shelter for a big chunk of her life!

Farrah has been in foster with our trainer and we’ve learned that she loves kids, engages other dogs in play, and is learning how to walk nicely on leash.

She’s also now ready for a forever home--kids and pups of all sizes okay! Farrah loves romping around the backyard and walking with her besties. She has a sweet demeanor and really wants to please her people!

Farrah is now working on leash manners and crate training. She’s acing it!

Their adoption process

1.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

We visit high-kill shelters all over southern California and video adoptable dogs. We emphasize urgents, seniors, and medical dogs.

2.

Submit Application

When a potential adopter or foster inquires about one of our dogs we ask them to fill out an initial application (available electronically).

3.

Interview

We have a conversation with the foster/adopter and get clarification on answers to application questions.

4.

Home Check

We do home checks on all our fosters/adopters before placing the pet.

5.

Sign Adoption Contract

If the foster/adopter passes the home check they sign a contract with us.

6.

Pay Fee

We only charge adoption fees for young, healthy dogs. We pay food and training costs for our fosters.

7.

We deliver the pet to the home and provide pointers on decompression and integration.

Additional adoption info

We require adopters and fosters to notify us if for whatever reason they cannot keep the pet.

Most of our fosters and adopters see our dogs on social media or on our website, but we also attend adoption events.

More about this rescue

Outta the Cage began when a group of technology professionals began volunteering at high-kill shelters. This grass roots effort – and the resulting data – taught us a lot about successful tactics for getting shelter animals adopted. Our mission at Outta the Cage is to get shelter animals seen as individuals in order to find them forever homes.

We go to shelters to video animals (mainly dogs), getting them “outta the cage” and into open areas and play yards. We share the resulting videos on social media and enlist the community to help spread the word. Because we’re data geeks, we also provide networking best practices, offering field-proven tips for optimal advocacy, networking, animal profiling, and post-adopting integration.

Outta the Cage highlights “at risk” animals, including seniors, ill and special-needs dogs, and so called “dominant breeds.” These dogs are often overlooked by potential adopters but, through targeted networking, video sharing, and subsidized adoption fees, we can help them become wonderful forever family members!

We also advise shelters, rescues, animal advocacy groups, and private companies on the application of information technology to animal rescue.
