Areas Open Arms Small Dog Rescue serves

Open Arms is located in Palm Coast, Florida. We adopt our dogs within a 75 mile radius from Jacksonville (north) to New Smyrna Beach (south). On occasions, we adopt to other locations within Florida if potential adopters are willing to drive to Palm Coast to meet a dog that interests them.

Open Arms Small Dog Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption process begins when you contact us after finding a dog on our site that calls to your heart. A phone interview followed by completion of an adoption application is next. A meet-and-greet is arranged and if there is a "connection" by both person(s) and dog, a contract is signed. An adoption donation (usually $150)helps to offset the dog's veterinary expenses. Before an Open Arms dog becomes an official member of the family, a home visit is made to ensure the dog's well-being and safety.

About Open Arms Small Dog Rescue

*MAKING A DIFFERENCE…….ONE DOG AT A TIME* Open Arms, a non-profit dog rescue organization, is the “last resort” for shelter dogs that are due to be euthanized because of over-crowding and cost of needed medical attention. We also rescue neglected, abused and abandoned dogs found in puppy mills, on the streets, or with owners that surrender their dogs for any number of reasons. These lucky dogs arrive in foster care and live safely in the homes of volunteers. Each receives vaccinations, spay/neuter, dental, microchip, good nourishment, training and love-love-love before placement with wonderful families.

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.
