American Maltese Assoc. Rescue - Vancouver's adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step in our adoption process is for the potential adoptive person to submit an Application to Adopt which is available on our website. A telephone interview is conducted and references are checked. A home visit is performed prior to the adoption to determine a safe environment for a rescue Maltese. An appointment is scheduled for the interested family to meet the rescue dog. If all parties agree that the adoptive family and rescue dog are good match, then the adoption is finalized with the payment of the adoption fee. All medical records and shot records are given to the adoptive family

About American Maltese Assoc. Rescue - Vancouver

American Maltese Rescue started in 1995 with an all volunteer organization that continues today as a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit. We accept Maltese as owner surrenders or as shelter dogs needing a new home. All of our dogs are examined by a vet, spayed or neutered, dental care provided if needed, a microchip is inserted, shots provided, and any vet recommended medical care. All of our dogs reside in foster homes where they are socialized and treated as loving pets until adopted.

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.
