We would like to help potential adopters to find these rescue groups. We would also like to help the rescues to get the word out about what they do and what they need in order to do it better.

- Reason this Action is Needed:
It is often difficult and time-consuming to find accurate and up to date information on the resources that are available to help rescue an animal, especially a Reptile. People are busy and stressed with all they need to do to just get through the day.
If CommunityCause.org can provide current & accurate information about rescue groups that is quick, clear and effortless to access this will make it easier for people in our community to find rescue groups when they want to help adopt an animal, volunteer, donate items, sponsor events, or give money. It is important to give people access to well vetted, accurate and readily available information.
In addition, anyone helping friends or family members with a Reptile issue will have available all the tips, resources and organizations that other people have recommended as being very helpful. This will make anyone using the CommunityCause.org website an instant pseudo-expert on the topic because they will have immediate access to the crowdsourced experience and expertise of others who have dealt with and successfully resolved similar issues. This makes it easier for professionals and members of the public to assist someone struggling with a Reptile issue.
- Finished Product:
The Finished Product for project will be a completed Master List of all of the Reptile Rescue Groups in Arizona who are currently helping to Save and/or Rehome Animals. The services provided by each organization will be added to the content of this website to provide easy searching capability for the individuals and organizations who are trying to help reptiles. It will be available in print form and also available on the internet. The Master List will provide current & accurate information about rescue groups that is quick, clear and effortless to access. This will make it easier for people in our community to find the rescue groups when they want to help adopt an animal, volunteer, donate items, sponsor events, or give money.
Helpful Tips, Resources & Advice gathered during this project will be added to the relevant website pages and Wiki pages of this website.There will be checklists of tips and advice that others have found to be helpful when dealing with issues concerning Reptiles. Recommended organizations will be added to the Directory of Organizations on this website along with the services they provide. This will make it easier for people to find the exact organization that offers the specific services that are needed. We are striving to make CommunityCause.org an easily Searchable Website so that all individuals and organizations may derive benefit from this useful information source by just typing in a few keywords into “Search this Website” option.
By contributing your time, talent and information to this project, you will be making it easier for others to find and make use of the information about Reptiles in the future. Why make stressed out people search for resources when we can make well vetted information readily accessible? Our goal is to help people to find Helpful Information, Tip Sheets, Resources and Organizations more quickly and more easily.
