DIY Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

During the adoption process we require an in person interview and/or adoption application to be completed. Once reviewed, we like for our potential adopters to meet our animals in a neutral location, often with their own pets if they have them so that we can see if temperaments mesh. If all goes well, a contract is signed and a week in-home trial is initiated after the home visit is completed. All of our animals come fully vetted with spay/neuter. Adoption of puppies or kittens requires the adopter to attend the pre-determined vet appointments. Failure to make it to these appointments results in violation of adoption contract, which may result in the animal's return the rescue organization. Appointments may be rescheduled if approved by organization with prior authorization.

About DIY Rescue

My husband and I have been members of previous rescue organizations around the city for the last 3 years, fostering over 30 dogs in our home. We currently have 3 rescue dogs that we have adopted, and although we have said that we are taking a "break" from the rescue scene, these fur babies seem to keep finding their ways into our hearts and our home. We are currently starting our own rescue, as we know how the process works. Our own dogs help in the rehabilitation process, and the dogs that get adopted from our rescue are trained and socialized and ready for their forever homes.

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.
