Message to New Hope Partners

[LuckyPumps]

from Ed Boks, per Pnina:

DEAR NEW HOPE PARTNER.

AS YOU KNOW, NEW HOPE PARTNERS ARE PERMITTED TO TRANSFER ANIMALS TO OTHER RESCUE GROUPS, INCLUDING NON-LOCAL GROUPS OUTSIDE YOUR AREA OR STATE. HOWEVER, SUCH TRANSFERS MUST BE MADE CAUTIOUSLY AND PRUDENTLY, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TRANSFER IS OUTSIDE YOUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA.

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT TRANSFERS ARE ONLY TO A RESCUE GROUP THAT MAINTAINS THE NEW HOPE STANDARDS FOR QUALITY, AND ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH NEW HOPE CRITERIA. TRANSFERRING TO A GROUP THAT YOU DO NOT PERSONALLY KNOW, AND THAT YOU CANNOT PERSONALLY VOUCH FOR, PLACES THE ANIMALS AT GREAT RISK AND MUST NEVER BE DONE.

SOME RECENT, ISOLATED INCIDENTS SUGGEST THAT TRANSFERS WERE MADE WITHOUT SUCH DUE DILIGENCE. WE ASK YOU TO REMEMBER THAT NEW HOPE PRIVILEGES ARE OFFERED TO YOU AS A TRUST, FOR THE BENEFIT AND SAFETY OF THE ANIMALS. ONLY TRANSFER TO GROUPS THAT YOU PERSONALLY KNOW WHO ARE EXPERIENCED AND OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. REMEMBER THESE ANIMALS AND THEIR WELFARE DEPEND ON YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION, AND CARE.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE INFORMATION ON ALL TRANSFERS ON YOUR QUARTERLY REPORTS TO CONTINUE AS A NEW HOPE PARTNER IN GOOD STANDING.

THANK YOU

ED BOKS
