Journey Home Dog Rescue's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Our adoption process involves an application process, including a home visit with the prospective dog and a veterinary reference check. The adoption fee varies based on the circumstances of the dog and can range from $50 - $350 depending on veterinary costs. We try to find a home with the best fit to help insure the dog's long-term success.

About Journey Home Dog Rescue
Journey Home Dog Rescue is a volunteer-based IRS 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that began in the summer of 2005 with a rescue mission to Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina. Our immediate goals at that time were to:
-Transfer as many dogs as possible out of "high-kill" dog pounds in the region into a temporary "no-kill" shelter
-Transport as many dogs as possible back to Maine for re-homing
During that first road trip, we rescued 70 dogs from imminent euthanasia. We also relocated and helped re-home 14 of them to the greater Portland area. In the months following the storm, we traveled back to the Gulf Coast region to work with other animal welfare groups as they continued to rescue, reunite, and re-home animals left homeless by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

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.
