Tri-County Animal Rescue is a 100% No-Kill, 501(c)3, nonprofit animal shelter working to prevent the killing of over 170,000 unwanted pets in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties each year. Since our inception, we have saved over 55,000 domestic animals from being euthanized, placing them in homes through our adoption center. We also work with several organizations, businesses, and the local school district to educate the community on animal awareness. At Tri-County Animal Rescue, we believe that every cat and dog—regardless of breed, gender, temperament, etc—deserves to live a happy and healthy life. Our mission, then, aims to shelter and provide a comfortable home for all animals placed in our facility. We consider every animal that comes to our shelter a member of our own family, loving and caring for them with the utmost respect and tenderness until we can place them in their safe, happy, forever homes.
The basic requirements for adoption from Tri-County Animal Rescue are as follows: If you lease or rent, you must have permission from your landlord or the primary resident where you live prior to adoption. Proof such as a lease or documentation will need to be shown. If you currently have a dog at home and are adopting a dog, Tri-County Animal Rescue requires you bring in your dog for an official “meet and greet.” If you currently have a dog or cat at home, you must provide proof that he or she is current on vaccinations and sterilized. Tri-County Animal Rescue does not authorize adoptions to be “gifts.” The person who will be considered the owner of the pet must be present and go through the adoption process. You will be asked to complete a preliminary questionnaire prior to adoption. You must be at least 21 years of age. If you are at least 21 years of age but still live with your parents, the home-owners would need to fill out the application. If you would like to expedite the process, you may print out the pre-adoption questionnaire at home and then bring it in to the shelter. NOTE: Tri-County Animal Rescue reserves the right to refuse adoption to anyone for any reason. We do not hold animals, nor does the submission of the Pre-Adoption application entitle you to any particular animal. Please do not try to adopt in a hurry. Weekends are busy and you may have to wait more than an hour (especially in the afternoons) so please be patient. We can not wait to help you find your forever pet. Thank you for wanting to adopt.
