Hospice Hearts Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based animal rescue in Central Illinois, serving cats and dogs whose owners are no longer able to care for them due to owner illness, nursing home admission, or death.
So, you were looking at petfinder and found an adorable face, one of our orphans looking for a new furever home, that will fit into your family. Wonderful, take a moment to fill out the adoption application. An Adoption Coordinator will contact you within 72 hours. The adoption process may take two to seven days and includes a review of your application, vet reference and home visit. We strongly recommend that all household members be present during the meet and greet visit and final adoption to ensure the pet is a good fit with the entire home. Residency requirements will be verified. Be truthful in your responses so that the Adoption Coordinator can help find the best pet for your household and/or family. Failure to provide truthful answers will result in nullification of your application and contract. The application questions are not optional – all questions must be answered. The Adoption Coordinator’s primary responsibility is placing the pet in a home that best meets the particular need of the pet. Applicants are encouraged to review all available animals and ask questions of the Adoption Coordinator to determine which pet would be best suited for your home. Please note that Hospice Hearts is an all-volunteer organization, and we appreciate your respectful treatment. Our pets and adoption are “Satisfaction Guaranteed.” We understand that not all animals fit all families and living situations. Our adopted animals can always be returned to Hospice Hearts during the two-week trial period. If an animal is returned, we do not deny future adoption, and can help find a better match for you and your family. We also will help with any questions or concerns you have with your adopted animal at any time to help keep them in your home if possible.
