All messages that meet the following guidelines will be posted to the moderated list serve:

  1. Posts should have some relevance to the welfare of pets in the Sacramento region. Posts about animals or situations in other states or regions may be rejected.
  2. As a courtesy to other subscribers, please include your full name, group affiliation (if any) and contact information (email address is sufficient) at the end of your post. Posts without at least a full name and e-mail address at the end of the message may be rejected.
  3. The SAAC email list a resource for sharing information, requesting assistance and networking to help animals. It is not a discussion list. Messages that are discussion in nature may be rejected.
  4. No owner surrender requests (as opposed to rescue situations) will be posted. Visit our Rehoming a Pet page for suggestions on how to find a home for an animal.
  5. No name-calling or negative discussions.
  6. Forwarded posts and cross-posts on behalf of non-list members will most likely be rejected, especially if they do not pertain to an animal rescue situation in the Sacramento region. This includes transportation requests, advocacy “alerts” from other organizations and lost animal alerts. Anyone interested in posting to the SAAC list should subscribe. Membership is free and is not moderated.
  7. Unvetted cross-posts of Craigslist ads will be rejected. If you want to intervene in a situation on Craigslist, please contact the original poster to verify veracity and get more details before posting to the SAAC list.
  8. Do Not Adopt recommendations should not include personal information about the potential adopter or details about the situation that led to the recommendation. Do Not Adopt recommendations that contain personal information will be rejected.
  9. For privacy reasons, please do not include the SAAC list in a mass email being sent to multiple personal addresses and refrain from including multiple personal email addresses in the cc line.
  10. If you need veterinary advice regarding your own pets, consult your personal veterinarian. For questions regarding veterinary care and health of shelter or rescue pets, visit the UC Davis Shelter Medicine program. Posts containing veterinary advice may be rejected if they are not posted by a licensed veterinary professional.
  11. Posts must be smaller than 500k in size. If you are including photos and the size of the message exceeds 500k, the message will be automatically rejected by the list serve system.
  12. Messages that are duplicates or similar to a recent post by another subscriber will be rejected.
