Hands & Paws Dog Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit animal rescue. Our mission is to rescue sick and injured dogs from kill shelters, provide medical treatment and rehabilitation, and find their forever homes. We also work in the community to educate on responsible dog ownership to help prevent dogs from entering shelters in the first place. Hand & Paws is completely volunteer-based. All foster dogs are housed in foster homes and not in a shelter or boarding facility. All members of the rescue have full-time jobs and do not collect a salary from the rescue. 100% of all donations to Hands & Paws go towards the care of rescue dogs.
To start the adoption process: Complete an online application. Show us solid references. Provide us with a vet reference if there are resident pets. A standard home evaluation is required to ensure a safe environment. Have a meet and greet with the dog and your family (including resident pets). Home evaluation and meet and greet can, and often will, coincide. Once the process is completed and you are approved for adoption, you will be required to complete an adoption agreement. This agreement basically states that you will provide a safe and loving home for your new family member.
