Imagine Peace for Pups was founded by two good friends and animal advocates, Lisa Clark and Lisa Nelson, in the Seattle, Washington area. They became acutely aware of how little time dogs are given at shelters, some barely have 24 hours before being euthanized. One dog, Beau, changed their lives forever and then they decided to become part of their solution. They focused on saving lives of dogs in particular from areas like Central and Southern California where they are at a higher risk to get euthanized and live inhumanely on the streets. They immediately began sharing, posting, pledging, in addition to coordinating transportation for dogs from the California to the Pacific Northwest. They became an integral part of a huge network of people trying to save the lives of adoptable dogs.
Find the dog you want to adopt - Search online for the adoptable dogs that Imagine Peace for Pups currently has available. If you don’t find a pup online, please feel free to still reach out to the organization if you are interested in adopting. They are constantly rescuing pups, so more become available on a weekly basis. Fill out the adoption application - Next, fill out the online Dog Adoption Application. Once the application has been filled out and submitted, expect to be contacted by an Imagine Peace for Pups Rescue volunteer within 24-72 hours. If you are interested in cat adoption, please fill out the Cat Adoption Application. Complete compatiblity assessment - A rescue volunteer will contact you to talk more about the dog that you are interested in. It is important to assess that it will be a good fit. If it is, a time and date will be set up for you to meet the pet and undergo a home volunteer check. Finalize adoption - If the compatability assessment is successful, your new pup will be brought to your forever home by their Imagine Peace for Pups foster volunteer. You will need to sign the Imagine Peace for Pups Adoption Agreement and pay the adoption fee. You will also be responsible for taking your adopted pup for a follow up veterinary visit for Bordetella vaccines and final DHPP and Deworming vaccines. Per humane animal practices, Imagine Peace for Pups ensures that all of their rescues are spayed and neutered. However, if you are adopting a puppy (under 6 months of age), you will also need to sign the Imagine Peace for Pups Rescue Spay and Neuter Contract.
