One Life Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application be completed when interested in adopting from our group. We perform home visits, vet and reference checks before adoption is complete. And at the time of adoption we require an adoption contract be signed. We ask for a $125 donation amount for all animals.

About One Life Rescue

One Life Rescue is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to reducing the number of animals abandoned, neglected and eventually destroyed.
We are committed to the wellbeing and protection of the animals in our community and across the United States.

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter… the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry. “God,” I said, “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?”
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. “I have done something,” He replied. “I created You.”

One Life Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Winston Salem, NC.

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.
