Northern New England Dog Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We ask that all potential adopters complete and application form on our website www.nnedr.org. We then check two personal and one vet reference before we set up a meeting with the dog. If it seems like we have a good match for the dog we will set up a time for the adopter to meet the dog and his/her foster family. The adopter will be able to ask alot of questions, take the dog for a walk give the dog treats etc... We then will ask that you take a couple of days to think about whether or not you would like the dog to join your family. We will consider all possible adopters and ultimately place the dog in the home we feel is best for the dog. At the time of adoption the adopter will be asked to sign a contract and pay the adoption fee. Our standard adoption fee is $250. We follow up with adopters after a few days to see how things are going and we have an alumni website where people post their stories and pictures so we can keep up with our rescue families.

About Northern New England Dog Rescue

We are a small group of dedicated volunteers that rescue dogs from city shelters who would otherwise be euthanized. We have a fnetwork of safe and loving foster homes that nurse dogs back to health, do some training and love the dog until the forever family comes along. Dog rescue can break your heart and wallet, but when you make a perfect match for a dog and a forever family it makes the heartbreaks worthwhile.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
