FOWA Rescue is an all volunteer 501(c)(3) (nonprofit) rescue organization based in Wayne, NJ serving the North Jersey area, dedicated to the welfare, sheltering and placement of homeless animals. We are committed to educating the public about the humane treatment of animals, preventing animal cruelty and overpopulation and promoting animal welfare.
To ensure placement into a home best suited for our dogs and cats, the application process includes having applicants complete our Pre-Adoption Application form, on which we ask for some general information, including two references and a veterinary reference, where applicable. An adoption counselor will process the application, and contact the applicant to discuss any questions or considerations either party may have. In some instances, if the adoption seems to be a good fit, a brief home visit will be required. You must complete all of the information on the adoption application to be considered as an adopter.
