SAAC List Serve Guidelines

To subscribe to the SAAC list, click here

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 at the end of your e-mail post. Using your email address as the contact information is sufficient. If you do not include your first and last name and e-mail address at the end of your message, it may be rejected.
  3. The SAAC email list is an information sharing and networking resource for staff and volunteers of local animal shelters, animal rescue organizations, animal related nonprofit organizations and others in the Sacramento region. 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, cross-posts on behalf of non-list members and forwarded “alerts” from organizations are discouraged and may be rejected, especially if they do not pertain to an animal rescue situation in the Sacramento region. Anyone interested in posting to the SAAC list should subscribe. Membership is not moderated.
  7. 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 or details will be rejected.
  8. 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.
  9. If you need veterinary advice regarding your own pets, please consult your personal veterinarian. For questions regarding veterinary care and health of shelter or rescue pets, consider submitting them to the UC Davis Shelter Medicine program.
  10. Posts must be smaller than 300k in size. If you are including photos and the size of the message exceeds 300k, the message will be automatically rejected by the list serve system.
