A Heart For Animals

About

We are a no-kill, non-profit 501(c)(3) animal rescue. We are foster based and believe that all animals deserve a chance to have a loving, forever home. In addition, we are a volunteer-only organization and rely on the commitment and skills of our volunteers to carry out our mission.

Pets available

Adoption process

Once we receive your application, we will review the information, contact the references, landlord (if applicable) and current veterinarian. The pet that you are adopting will be spay/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative so we ask that your current pets are as well, which is why we contact your vet. Processing an application can take 48 – 72 hours. We will then contact you for an interview. If the pet seems to be a good fit, we will coordinate a meeting with you and the foster home. Our foster families know the most about the adoptable animals because they live with them every day. We require that the entire family is present, including any dogs that are a part of the family to make sure that everyone gets along. If the meeting goes well and everyone is in agreement that the adoption will be successful for the adopter and animal, adoption papers are signed and adoption fee paid. You can leave the meeting with your new family member! All animals that are adopted through A Heart for Animals are given an intake exam, receive all age appropriate vaccines, spayed/neutered, tested for heart worm, dewormed and microchipped. You will also receive a leash, collar and tag to take home on adoption day.
