Justin Bartlett Animal Rescue’s Mission is to reduce the number of homeless dogs and cats from becoming victim to shelter euthanasia, while educating the public on the importance of adoption and spay and neuter in our community. Our volunteer staff is dedicated to saving pregnant and nursing animals, as well as, orphaned puppies/kittens, and any unwanted animal, whether sick or healthy. If there is an open foster home and available funds we will ensure the animal receives its forever home. Every animal we rescue is placed in a foster home, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested, and provided any other necessary medical care. In addition, through our not-for- profit hospital, we will provide afforadable veterinary care to the animals in our community.
The first step in the Adoption Process is to register on our website. Once you have registered, the system will generate and email you a password. Use your User Name and Password log in to the website. Once logged in, you can complete the Adoption Application for the animal in which you are interested. Animals that are listed for "Sponsorship" are not yet available for adoption. If you are interested in adopting an animal currently listed for Sponsorship, please wait for the animal's status to change to "Available" to submit an application. You are welcome to sponsor the animal, but Sponsorship does not necessarily guarantee approval to adopt. Every application is assigned to and reviewed by an Adoption Counselor who will follow up with you. Depending on the volume of applications we receive for a particular animal, the response time may vary from one day to a couple weeks. Please understand that our Adoption Counselors are all volunteers who perform this service in addition to their regular jobs. We appreciate your patience. There is no need to complete a new application if you decide on a different animal - just send us an email. Not every application will be approved. However, we hope that you understand that every decision we make is with the animal's best interest in mind. If your application is approved, after the review process is complete, you will be scheduled for a meet and greet during the next available adoption event. Most applicants will be able to complete the adoption at that time. Cats: All are spayed/neutered, vaccinated against FVRP and rabies, microchipped, fecal tested and tested for leukemia and FIV. All adopters receive a wellness vet visit at our designated vet and a month of pet insurance. Most fees vary between $50-$150. Dogs: All are spayed/neutered, vaccinated against DA2PPV and rabies, microchipped, and heartworm tested. All adopters receive a wellness vet visit at our designated vet and a month of pet insuarance. Most fees vary between $150-$300, and in cases of highly desirable or rare breeds, as much as $400. All adoption fees are a donation to the rescue. They help offset the rescue's cost to save, feed, from, nurse back to help, supply etc. each pet. Many pets need life saving treatment or emergency surgeries, to become well and to the point where they can be adopted, and these costs are not configured into the adoption fee. Unlike open admission shelters, we do not euthanize pets, if they can be medically rehabbed, we invest in them. And unlike county shelters, whose fees are very low, we receive no government funding. Some adults may be eligible for an "adoption with an option," for trials. Restrictions: Bull Breed type Dogs will only be placed with applicants who own their own home.
