Dhana Metta Rescue Society's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Our goal as an animal rescue is to match the right dog with the right owner or family. To do this we ask for all interested adopters to complete a Dhana Metta Adoption Application (http://dhanametta.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/dhana-metta-adoption-app-fillable4.doc)
With this application we learn more about you and what kind of dog you are seeking, plus what personality would work for you. After your application has been received it will be reviewed and either be approved or disapproved based on the answers you have provided. Sometimes your application may not be approved for the particular dog you applied for, but could be approved for another dog that would be more suitable.
We are also very particular about having home visits done prior to a meet up with the dog of interest. All of our dogs for adoption are in foster homes, we do not have an open shelter system where one can pop by to see all the dogs. Appointments will need to be made with the foster homes after approval of your application and home visit.
Adoption fees range from $175 - $495.

About Dhana Metta Rescue Society
We are pleased to announce Dhana Metta Rescue Society as the next generation of animal rescue societies. We are a registered non-profit society, dedicated to small & medium dogs throughout Canada & the United States. Our focus in the U.S. are mostly natural disaster survivors, who unfortunately run out of time at the over crowded shelters.
Our hopes are not only to help abused, neglected, special needs and senior dogs/cats, but to also hold educational workshops for the public on:
a) The importance of proper training and care of domestic pets
b) How we can all help prevent pet over population by spaying and neutering
c) The negative effects of puppy/cat mills and back yard breeders
d) How working together can make a change in the regulations & laws regarding animal cruelty
As we continue to grow and establish ourselves, we hope to see rescue work as a communal endeavor. Each and every animal in need should receive help, from all of us. We will work together with other rescuers and shelters, all in the name of the animals.
To practice non-violent communication, peace, empathy, and compassion in our everyday lives and throughout our journey in animal rescue.

Find a pet to adopt

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.
