No Paw Left Behind is non-profit 501c3 emergency pet rescue and foster network initiated in 2005, and incorporated in March 2006. We are rescue organization focused on extreme cruelty, neglect and pets in immediate danger of dying in shelters and on the streets across the state of Florida and beyond.
1. The first step to adopting one of our rescue pets is to get to know their individual story, ask questions, and consider if this pet will be a good life-long addition to your family. 2. Once you decide that the pet will be a good fit, or if you would like our help matching you with a pet who will be a good fit, the second step is to fill out an adoption application (found in the white buttons above). 3. After your application has been reviewed, you will be contacted by a volunteer to follow-up. Please note: some pets (especially puppies) receive large numbers of applications, and volunteer review of these applications may take up to a week. Most applications will be reviewed within two days. 4. When your application is approved, you will be notified and a time for a home visit and meeting with the pet will be arranged by one of our volunteers. NOTE: An application on file is required prior setting up meet and greets with our pets. All of our pets are in foster homes (or boarding during emergencies), and thus require the coordination of volunteers to assist with the meet and greet. This rescue does not have a brick and mortar shelter. Every pet we have depends on the availability of our unpaid volunteers. Please be honest on your Adoption Application. The founder has a fundamental belief that absolutes are not in service of our mission. We do not reject applications outright based on any specific answers. It is our policy to get to know all of our applicants as well as we get to know our pets, so that we can provide the very best matching service possible. We understand that other rescues have "deal breaker" policies, but this is not how this rescue functions. We believe in working with adopters and pets to provide the best possible individual match. For example: We do not have a fence or fence height requirement. If you do not believe in a certain medication, please explain. We do not believe in age requirements, young nor old. Owning or renting will be a discussion, but renting will not be a disqualifier. Working, or being away from home for several hours, will not disqualify you. Having or not having a pool will not disqualify you. Having or not having children will not disqualify you. Having a disability will not disqualify you (per law). While we encourage local adopters in the South Florida and Central Florida areas, some of our most cherished #nopawalumni now reside all across the USA and Internationally. Additional considerations must be had for long distance adoptions, but these are not out of the question. If the meet and greet goes well, you will either proceed to adopting the pet or a foster-to-adopt trial period. 5. Foster-to-Adopt. Foster-to-Adopt periods usually last one to two weeks, and allow the rescue pet some time to decompress in the new environment. Many rescue pets are unsure of new places and people, so it is very helpful to afford them some time to get familiar with the home, other pets, and the humans. Only once a pet is comfortable can we really assess if the placement will be a good life-long fit. The decision to have a trial period is the best for all involved in most cases. We also worry about the resident pets of the home, so we want to make sure that the resident pets adjust to having the new rescue pet in the home. Sometimes pets and homes seems like they will be a perfect fit, but for whatever reason schedules, personalities, or whatever just don't match. That's ok! We are here to find life-long additions to the family. Taking some time to make this decision is helpful. 6. Adoption. Please take some time to consider our final adoption policies. We have arrived at these policies over a decade of hands on volunteering with pets in need. We do not arrive at these requirements lightly, and we are happy to discuss any of these requirements.
