Non-Profit Animal Rescue - advice

[distaff]

A name is not the only point of concern or focus right now...just one of the items on the list of things that needs done. From my understanding, you have to have a name to incorporate and register as a non-profit...I'm not ungrateful for the unsolicited advice given above, but certainly a little bummed that people are doubtful... No offense to any of you, just wish people in general weren't so quick suggest someone will fail at something - especially without knowing the person, what they've done, or their game-plan/strategy to be successful in what they want to do.

I'll figure out a name. Thanks to those who were helpful with that..

There is actually nothing doubtful about it at all. People rescue animals every day. They also tend to organize when the efforts get expensive, time consuming, and the work becomes more than one person can handle. At that point, they start making things "official." Legal documents can have a temporary working name until a permanent name is chosen. I can't remember the legal term for this, but there is one, and the practice is accepted.

I would not get hung up on the name. You will come up with a good one eventually. Until then, just go ahead with rescue work, and don't get caught up putting the cart before the horse. If you aren't already, you will learn an immense amount by volunteering with local organizations that are already established.
