Heart Dog Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Potential adopters must currently live in the state of Florida. All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered.

We do our best to review applications within 48 hours. Home ownership, landlord permission, and veterinary references will be verified. If everything checks out, you will be contact to schedule a home visit. We ask that every member of the family be present during the home visit. If the home visit goes well, a meet and greet will be scheduled with the dog you are interested in. If it feels like a match, we will arrange for a sleepover to give you time to get to know each other and make sure it’s a good fit for everyone before signing the adoption papers and celebrating your new addition.

Please click here to submit an application. Please answer every question in detail. If a question does not apply to you, please write not applicable or n/a in the answer box.

The adoption fee of $200 includes a spay/neuter surgery, age appropriate vaccines, and a microchip.

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.
