All About Paws is a 501c3 group of volunteer animal lovers whose mission is to rescue, provide sanctuary, and ultimately re-home abandoned, stray, and neglected companion animals. All animals in our care are spayed or neutered and receive the necessary medical attention. The All About Paws foster home system provides a safe haven for the animals until they can be placed in carefully screened forever homes.
The first step is to complete an adoption application. Please give us 1 week to review and process the application. Emailing will only delay your application. You should contact your veterinary reference and give them permission to release information about your pets’ health history/records to our rescue representative. Once your application and vet check has been approved, you will be contacted to schedule your home check. An AAP volunteer will contact you to discuss a date and time that is mutually agreeable. We prefer that all members of the household be present for the home check. The volunteer must have access to all rooms of the home including the garage, basement, and any outbuildings. If access to any of these areas is denied, the application will be automatically denied. We DO NOT adopt without a home visit. Please be aware that the volunteer may also bring one of their own dogs with them to see how any current dogs in the home interact with them. You will receive a call from an AAP representative for a phone interview to talk about any additional questions and concerns and potentially discuss a dog. Note: Our rescue dogs are our number one priority; therefore, we do not make exceptions to our policies. We reserve the right to refuse an applicant at any phase in the adoption application process.
