Areas Rescue One serves

We largely rescue animals from Southwest Missouri, and we mainly adopt to Missouri residents. We will consider all situations however, we recently had a dog adopted to Boston, MA!

Rescue One's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fees are as follows: $150 for dogs/puppies and $75 for senior/special needs dogs.

Rescue One will have potential adopters fill out an adoption application, and if the application is approved, set up a time to meet the pet and for the foster home to do a home check. The dog can then be taken on a week long adoption trial. At the end of the trial, the adoption can be finalized by notifying the dog's foster, and your adoption fee will be deposited and the dog's vet records released to you.

The only 'blanket' requirement Rescue One has in place is that no animal is to be an outdoor-only pet. No exceptions.

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.
