Im-Paws-Able Rescue has been taking a break from it all for awhile. However, the need of dogs who have been abused, surrendered or placed on euthanasia listings NEVER takes a break! So, we are gearing up to resume our mission.......Won't you join us??
Step 1: Review our pets. If you find someone who you think that you could love furever, complete the adoption application. Be certain to answer all of the questions to the best of your ability. Step 2: Review of your application. An Im-Paws-Able volunteer will review your application to determine if it should be escalated to the next step. Our goal is to find the perfect ‘fur-ever’ home for each dog in our care. We appreciate your understanding should you be eliminated as an adoption candidate. This usually takes 5-7 days, however, it is dependent on how quickly your references return our calls. PLEASE REMEMBER...We are ALL volunteers with careers & families of our own (We would love YOUR help with the next potential adopter!). Step 3: Veterinary Reference Check. A volunteer from Im-Paws-Able Rescue will verify with the veterinarian you listed on your application to ensure your current pets are up-to-date on vaccinations and are spayed/neutered. We will NOT consider placing an Im-Paws-Able dog in a home where there are intact animals. If you do not currently have a pet, we will make sure that the veterinarian you listed exists and is accepting new patients. We will also ask for a third personal reference in Step 4. Step 4: Personal Reference Check. A volunteer from Im-Paws-Able Dog Rescue will contact your personal references listed on your application to ensure that you understand what being a good pet owner means and you are able to undertake the responsibility of adoption. Please do not list relatives. Step 5: Home Visit. This is the final step in the process. A home visit is when a volunteer from Im-Paws-Able Dog Rescue will visit your home to determine if it is safe and acceptable for the rescue dog you have chosen. Im-Paws-Able Dog Rescue will set up the home visit. Please be patient, as we are all volunteers. Step 6: The Adoption Contract. The adoption contract.ensures that you and Im-Paws-Able Rescue both agree on certain things, such as vetting, what will happen if the dog has to find a another home (it ALWAYS returns to us!), what to do if it gets lost, and many other aspects of of your new baby's life! Step 7. Adoption. When the home visit is completed, you are ready to adopt your fur-ever family member!!!
