About Adopt-A-Dog

Questions and Answers:

What is Adopt-A-Dog?
A volunteer organization formed to help in the rescue and rehabilitation of unwanted canines.

How does it work?
We rescue dogs from kill shelters when their time is up.

How do I know the money I donate will go to help a dog?
You can make a donation in our name directly to the veterinarian.

Can I drop off a canine at your facility?
No, we are not a shelter. Canines are fostered at private homes until adopted.

How do you pay for medical expenses for the canines?
We rely totally on donations.
What kind of medical expenses are there?
Canines are always neutered before being adopted. There is also the vaccinations. In special cases there are extensive costs due to neglect. Examples are Parvo, Heartworms or accidents.

How come I can’t just come get one?
These canines have been through enough already and we want to assure that they are placed in the best possible homes that are available.

Do you need foster homes?
Yes, we are always looking for foster homes for the canines awaiting adoption. Or to foster on a short term basis (such as a weekend) to give a full-time foster parent a break.
We even have fosters who work together taking turns taking care of litters of pups.

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Santa Rosa Beach, 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.
