We practice responsible and innovative ways to reduce animal overpopulation in shelters, rescue and rehabilitate critically injured and neglected animals, and connect the community to services that enable animals to remain in their homes. Together we are advocates, rescuers, and educators. Together we make a difference. Why do we do what we do? Because They Matter.
Once received, your application will be reviewed as soon as possible. Our approval process includes conversations with the property owner (if applicable), your veterinarian, your personal references, you and the other residents of your home. We will also conduct a home visit and, upon approval, schedule any necessary meets with the dog. We do our best to respond to each email, inquiry, and application in a timely manner. Please monitor your email account and phone to ensure we are able to contact you. Furthermore, please make sure your personal references, your veterinarian, and your landlord (if applicable) are aware that we will be calling to ensure no delays in processing your application. If you are concerned because you haven’t been contacted in a timely manner, you may follow up with us. Please know that we receive several applications for the same dog and do our best to choose the home that will be the best match for that particular dog. Our purpose is to ensure success and happiness for all involved in the process of fostering or adopting, with the dog as our first priority. There are several reasons we may deny your application. These reasons include but are not limited to: negative references from veterinarian and/or personal reference, lack of permission from landlord, failed home visit, lack of understanding of needs of rescue dogs, young age, name found on a “do not adopt” list, location, etc.
