Adopting

Fees, requirements & process

The adoption fee includes spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm and flea/tick preventatives, applicable heartworm and FIV/FeLV testing, deworming, and a registered microchip.

Requirements

Applications may be declined when a landlord cannot verify pets are allowed, references do not respond or raise concerns, the home setup does not fit the animal, or the applicant's experience does not match the animal's needs.

How it works

Complete the application linked from the animal's profile; the foster reviews it and arranges a meet-and-greet for potential matches; after approval, Rescue Network sends an electronic contract and payment request, then coordinates pickup or drop-off.
