Wonder Paws Rescue's adoption process

1.

Submit Application

We request that all people interested in adopting a pet, fill out an adoption application.

2.

Approve Application

When we receive an app for adoptions we do a home visit, call their HOA and current vet to check to see if their pets are UTD on vaccines.

3.

Meet the Pet

Once the adopter is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet with the pet to see if it will be a good match.

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

Once they decide they would like to adopt the pet, they pay the adoption fee and sign the adoption contract.

5.

Take the Pet Home

Once the adoption contract is signed and the adoption fee is paid, the pet will be able to go to its new home.

Additional adoption info

All of our pets are up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchiped and spayed/neutered.

About Wonder Paws Rescue

Care Love Give, Inc., DBA: Wonder Paws Rescue is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue that was founded with the purpose of helping families with animals in crisis, and animals in need of rescue. Our vision is to create a community where all animals receive appropriate care, love and the opportunity to find a home. We will provide veterinary care and work against animal cruelty, abuse and neglect. Wonder Paws rescue will provide temporary housing, medical care and rehabilitation for neglected animals in our community, with the ultimate goal of finding them permanent, safe and loving homes. These animals will be taken out of high kill shelters in Broward and Dade County and accepted from people who would like to surrender them to us directly. We will try to educate the community on the importance of spay/neuter and adoption.

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

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.
