PAWS Rescue Organization's adoption process
Additional adoption info
If you are interested in one of our animals, we will have you fill out an Adoption Application. You must list two references and a veterinary reference. We set up meet and greet times (as many as you want) and if you application is approved and you still want the animal, we transfer ownership to you. We ask for an adoption fee that ranges per animal but is usually between $50-100 for a dog or cat and $10-50 for a reptile or bird. The money goes directly towards the vet bills the animal has.

About PAWS Rescue Organization
We are a not-for-profit organization run out of our home. We take in death-row shelter dogs or other dogs in dire circumstances, and FIV+ feral cats, rehabilitate them and adopt them out to forever, loving homes. At times we take in the occasional bird or reptile, such as ducks or turtles.

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.
