Rescued Treasures Pet Adoptions is a 501c3 non-profit pet rescue run solely by volunteers who have a passion to help society’s abandoned cats and dogs. Each year in the United States 3-4 million dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters. While Rescued Treasures Pet Adoptions cannot solve this problem, we have dedicated ourselves to saving as many as we can.
The first step is to fill out our adoption application, which can be found on our website. It has questions to help us get to know you and your family which will assist us in seeing if the dog you are interested in would be a good fit. Make sure to read each dog’s profile that you are interested in. Too many families choose a pet based on their appearance and that is not the best way to judge if it will be a good match for your family. We do not adopt out based on who applies first- we make sure whatever home we choose will be this pets forever loving home. Sometimes that means we may deny someone for a particular dog/cat they have applied for, but another of our pets may be better suited for that family and will be recommended. Our homeless pets are all housed in foster homes who get to know the animals and their personalities…this is particularly helpful when helping families find a pet perfect for them. After we receive your application we will call/email you to set up a time to meet the dog or cat you are interested in. Sometimes a foster will come directly to your home with the dog or cat so that the animal can meet you on neutral territory: others will invite you to their home. After the meet and greet we ask that you go home and discuss with your family if the dog or cat would be a good match for your family. Either decision your family makes, we appreciate a phone call or email letting us know your reactions to the visit and the dog or cat. If it is decided you would like to proceed with the adoption, then we conduct a vet reference to verify care of your past and present pets. If it is a dog you are hoping to adopt, we will also then do a home visit with your entire family present as well as the dog to verify that everyone is comfortable together. If everything goes well at the home visit, then the adoption paperwork is finalized and a donation is required to help offset the cost we have acquired for his/her vet care.
