Furever Rescue

About

There are millions of homeless pets in the US that are neglected, abused and abandoned. They often end up in a kill-shelter with little chance of leaving. Animals range in age from a week old to 14 years old, mixed breed to pure-breed. There is no rule when it comes to the types of animals that end up in these situations. Adopting a dog or cat from a no-kill shelter can free up space for older or special needs pets that may not find new homes before the end of their natural lives. Every dog or cat not purchased from a pet store or backyard breeder improves the pet overpopulation problem.

Adoption process

We want to emphasize that for us matching the right animal with the right family is very important. We simply want to ensure that everyone involved will have many happy years together. Here is the breakdown of our application process: Complete our adoption application and email it back to adoptions@fureverrescue.com. We check both your veterinary reference & personal references listed in the application. We do a home visit. We set up a meet and greet with all family members and the potential new animal. Once approved, you fill out and sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. Bring your new furry friend home! The adoption process can take just a couple of weeks to upwards of a month. For animals that have received a number of applications, it can take a little time for our adoption coordinators to sort through them all. Remember, we are volunteer-run so all of this work is being done after the workday and on the weekends. We hope that you will be patient with us while we help you to find your perfect match! You may not be the only one interested in adopting a particular animal. In these cases, we go by who applied first while also doing our best to match dogs with homes that will be the perfect fit. If you don’t get your first choice, don’t worry! We have plenty of amazing animals in need of loving homes and we save more every week. Take your time, your new pal is out there!
