• Must fill out our adoption application. Link above.

Please fill out the adoption application in full and a Case Manager will reach out to you. If an animal has multiple applications we will pick the home best suited for the animal.

All adopters must understand and agree that your pet is part of your family, and that it is important to keep them healthy. We do the best we can to ensure we match you with the perfect pet and ask that you ensure they are taken care of once they are in your care.

• Ensure your pet is on heart-worm preventive, flea/tick preventive, and go to annual check-ups.
• Microchip (and register your chip) and make sure your pet has a tag on at all times.
• Animals must be indoors for the majority of the time, especially during harsh weather conditions, cold or hot.
• Be patient with potty training, this can take some time and we will provide help and advice as necessary.
• Make sure your pet gets enough food, water and exercise. Just like humans, they need all those things to thrive in their new home.
• Understand that this is a commitment that will require time and money.
• Must agree not to physically alter the animal; this would include: dock tail, debark, ear cropping, and de-claw and any other form of unnecessary physical alterations.
• NEVER surrender your pet to any other shelter or rescue organization, please contact Love And Rescue directly.

• Complete the application online, ensuring that all sections are filled out in full.
• Once the application is received, the assigned case manager for the rescue animal will reach out to the applicant for a brief phone interview.
• Following this, a comprehensive reference and background check, as well as a FaceTime home visit, will be conducted. If any concerns arise regarding the home environment, they will be addressed, and the decision to proceed with the sleepover or postpone/cancel it will be at the discretion of the case manager.
• Provided a satisfactory check, the case manager will arrange a meet and greet session.
• If the meeting goes well, it can be followed by a trial weekend sleepover.
• After a successful sleepover, the case manager will move forward with finalizing the adoption.
