About

We started SADT rescue in 2001 and have found about 10,000 great homes for the dogs we rescued. We are all volunteer based and work for free meaning we do not get a paycheck but work for the happy ending matching dogs and families for life. We have given our time our lives our money, all for the love of dogs. Now in 2016 we have chosen to help Owners with their dogs they can no longer keep and re home them into stable matching homes. We are also doing fundraising to help the less fortunate with spaying their dogs in our community and any needy rescue that has special case dogs or emergencies. We have found thousands of great matching homes over the years and still get updates from many happy adopters. You can help us. You can make a one time donation or become a sponsor it is all tax deductable.

Adoption process

FIRST STEP: Fill out application completely and detailed we will have more questions after we get the application, once we get all of our questions answered and feel you could be a good match for the dog, we will answer any and all of your questions you may have, or in some cases you can talk to the foster of the dog. SECOND STEP: We will contact you via email once we reviewed your application please check your spam folder and contact us if you do not get a reply within 2 days. We will respond to each application to let you know we received it so please check your e-mail including spam/bulk folders. We do not have the time for phone calls unless you are fully approved, but everything is done via online or texting. If you are contacted by us as a possible match we will need you to call your Vet to allow us to speak to them to get references, if you don’t have a Vet we need 2 to 3 non related references that can e-mail or text us.. If you rent, we need a landlord note emailed or texted to us, before we can proceed with the application, the note needs to state that a dog is allowed, breed and size of dog. THIRD STEP: We will send a volunteer to visit your home, if a volunteer cannot be found in your area we will be satisfied with lots of pictures of home, yard, fence, ect. inside of your home just like if we were doing a home visit. Once we have the above we will email you our contract to read (this contract cannot be changed to suit you it was made up by our lawyer for the welfare of our dogs, once you let us know you agree to all terms. We can hold the dog for you up to a week with a non refundable hold deposit (which you can pay via our paypal on our site front page) otherwise you can check back a day or two before a meeting and see if that dog is still available and we will set up the meeting (you must be approved prior to meeting the one dog that is a match). Once fully approved we will meet you here in Redding with the dog that is a best match with your lifestyle family etc. if that meeting goes great we finish paperwork, etc you take pup/dog home same day so only one meeting. We DO adopt out of area and out of state as long as applicant is fully approved and will come to Redding to pick up. At that time adopter will get all Vet records of the dog/pup they are adopting. We do NOT transport or ship, adopter has to meet/pickup dog in Redding, CA. We do not have the time nor resources for transporting so please do not ask and we must meet at least one household member if you are not local and it depends on which dog. If you are in this area we prefer to meet all household members so we can see how everyone interacts. If you have other dogs, we are usually flexible and may wave for the dogs having to meet specially if you are adopting a puppy, adult dogs we usually like to introduce here and see how they both do together.
