Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping dogs in distress, especially those living on chains, in pens, or in neglectful and abusive situations. Our mission is to provide a better life for these dogs through rescue and rehabilitation, outreach and education in the communities we serve, and addressing the root causes of animal overpopulation. We believe in a comprehensive approach because every dog we can keep in its home, make healthy, or prevent from having puppies is another dog saved.
Apply - To start the approval process, the first step is to complete our non-binding adoption application. References - If applicable, we check vet references FIRST to ensure that your pets have been kept current on care, and a copy of your lease to ensure that adopting doesn't violate your rental agreement. Interview - Once your application is submitted and reviewed, and your vet provides a positive reference, a Worthy Dog Rescue volunteer will contact you to schedule a phone interview to discuss your application. Home Visit - A Worthy Dog Rescue volunteer will schedule a time to visit your home, either in person or virtually, to meet you and verify that your home is a good, safe environment for one of our dogs. Approval - Upon approval, if the dog you applied for is still available and a good match, we will schedule a time for you to meet the dog. If not, we will work with you to find another dog who will suit your family.
