The rescue posts on its social media, and Petfinder, and we hold adoption events. That way only interested people come to find us. It's a little rude to post every adoptable cat and dog on neighborhood listservs, because if every foster human did this, that's all you'd ever see.

But since I’m kind, I absolutely keep an eye out for any of the missing animals I’ve seen posted.
