LBD Rescue focuses on the rescue, care and placement of black dogs who are in danger of euthanasia, as well as other dogs who are in immediate need. LBD Rescue is funded by donations which are used solely for the care of our dogs. We always need fosters!
The adoption process with LBDR begins with the completion of the online application. No inquiries regarding any specific dog will be answered until the application is submitted. Application Fee and Application Form: A $20.00 non refundable application fee is required to be considered. Please pay with Paypal using this link: https://goo.gl/VT1cdP. After the transaction is complete, the "Return to Merchant" button goes directly to the Application. The link to pay the application fee is also available within the Application Form. Please paste or type your Paypal receipt/ transaction ID in the first entry field of the Application when prompted. Renters please note - LBDR will require a letter from your landlord or a copy of your lease showing permission to have a dog before your application will be considered further. Available dogs are listed on the website www.littleblackdogrescue.org and www.petfinder.com. The application is reviewed by LBDR as soon as possible after submission. Please keep in mind the rescue is run and assisted by volunteers so time-frames can vary. If you are applying for a specific dog, someone will get back to you within the week IF YOU ARE THE BEST MATCH FOR THIS DOG. Reference checks will be conducted using the information provided on your application. If you are a current or previous dog owner your vet will be contacted, as well as personal references. A home visit will be conductedby the director of LBDR or a volunteer to review your home and outside property. Once you are approved, and if there is a dog looking for adoption you are interested in, a "meet and greet" will be arranged. This is typically a short meeting to see how the dog interacts with you and your family and very importantly, with any of your other pets. If LBDR is happy with the results of the meet and greetand the applicant is also interested in proceeding, a longer visit where the dog stays at your home for an overnight can be arranged. The dog will come with a crate, collar with ID tag, leash and food. Hosting a dog for an overnight means that you are serious about adopting that dog. It is NOT a chance to "try out" multiple dogs. If the overnight is successful and the family is committed, then the adoption will proceed and the dog will stay. If there are questions or concerns, LBDR will work with you over a two day period (no visit will exceed 3 nights) to address and offer guidance on the issues. Adoption finalization requires the completion of additional paperwork and payment of the adoption fee. The adoption fee differs in CT and SC as well as the dog's age. Fees are posted in the "Thank You" email you will receive after your application is submitted. This fee includes all age-appropriate basic vaccinations and spay/neuter.LBDR is a registered 501c3 and adoption fees go toward running the rescue, vetting the dogs and providing one-on-one matching services. The adoption fee is tax-deductible.
