Merlin’s Refuge has changed way
we do business due to recent changes in Nebraska
state law under the Commercial Dog and Cat Operator
Inspection Act (NEB REV STAT 54-625 to 54-643),
Merlin’s Refuge no longer assumes superior ownership
of any pets we assist in placing in new homes.
We no longer house pets in veterinary offices
or foster homes. What this means to the community
we service is this: We are continuing to fill
the gap for pet owners and potential pet owners
in much the same way we did before. We
do all the leg work in finding potential adopters,
we don’t charge any fees for our services, and
we ensure that the pets are spayed, neutered,
and are current on all shots. All
we require from the current owner is patience
and that they continue to provide a loving and
healthy home for their pet until we can find
a new owner that can do the same. The
current owner provides the adoption criteria,
retains superior ownership of the pet and has
full control of the adoption and surrender process.
However, Merlin’s Refuge will not refer individuals,
which do not meet our screening requirements
regardless of the standards set by the current
owners. In short, we will not assist pet
owners in simply “dumping” a pet on the nearest
person willing to take the pet off their hands.
This approach offers
all the advantages of a comfortable, stress
free transition for the pet while ensuring that
the long-term welfare of the pet is the top
priority.
