A Promise of Love Rescue is a non-profit, volunteer, internet based, dog rescue organization incorporated under the laws of the State of Wisconsin. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs left homeless for whatever reason - dogs that have been abandoned and/or are in abusive, endangering and neglectful environments, including dogs from puppy mills and backyard breeders, as well as dogs that have been given up by their owners because of difficulties, so that we can further minimize the needless killing of these dogs. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Finally, we strive to educate the public on the plight of homeless dogs and work with area shelters, other rescue and humane organizations and individuals to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs. Helping those without homes find the home they deserve: A Promise of Love. A Promise of Tomorrow. A Gift of Life
Once we receive your application: 1. It is screened for completeness and to assure that the information provided conforms to our basic standards for adopters. This process includes checking personal and veterinary references. 2. The application is reviewed by our Board of Directors who decide whether the application is suitable for further processing. 3. If the application passes step 2, a home visit is scheduled. 4. The Board decides, based on all the available information including our knowledge of the animal and its needs, whether the adopter is a suitable candidate for adopting a particular animal. 5. A signed adoption agreement is required for all adoptions before an animal can be released. We require an adoption fee that helps defray the medical expenses we incur on the animal, which include sterilization, vaccinations, dental and other health care. The general range of these fees are $250.00 to $500.00. 6. Arrangements are made for the adopter to pick up the animal, at the adopters expense.
