RezQ Dogs's adoption process
Additional adoption info
1. All of the dogs (and cats) adopted from RezQ Dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, de-wormed, and microchipped prior to adoption. Many of the dogs also received additional veterinary care if needed.
2. RezQ Dogs houses its dogs in private foster homes and at our facility which is open by appointment only. We do require an approved application on file prior to scheduling a meet and greet with the dog. At that point, the adopters can take the dog home.
3. Adoption fees are as follows:
- $150 for dogs over 1 year of age
- $200 for dogs under 1 year of age
- $75 for cats
4. While RezQ Dogs does allow out of state adoptions, we do limit the distance between the potential adopters and our location in Dodson, MT, to within a 12 hour drive.
5. Due to our limited staff and volunteers, RezQ Dogs is unable to transport dogs to their forever homes or meet adopters part way. RezQ Dogs does not ship dogs via airlines or ground transportation. We ask the adopters to meet the dogs in person prior to adoption rather than having someone pick up the dog for them in order to ensure the right fit for both humans and dogs.
6. Please download our adoption application here: www.rezqdogs.org/adopt , fill it out, and email it to adoptions.rezqdogs@gmail.com Make sure your application is complete and all of the phone numbers are provided as INCOMPLETE applications will not be considered. You will not be contacted if any information on the application is missing. We simply lack the manpower and time to track down the information we ask for in the first place.
7. RezQ Dogs makes every effort to reply to adoption inquiries and process applications within 1 week of receiving them.

RezQ Dogs was founded in 2009 because our community’s only No-Kill shelter was unable to handle the high volume of animals in local Animal Control facilities. RezQ Dogs focuses on getting these "at risk" dogs out of immediate danger and into rescues and approved adoptive homes. At this time, RezQ Dogs does not have ifacility open to the public. Appointments can be made to meet the dogs by contacting Anita at adoptions.rezqdogs@gmail.com

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.
