Dire Straits Companion Animal Rescue's adoption process
Additional adoption info
Our adoption process begins with our adoption application. After filling out the application, potential adopters will be contacted by email or phone. If the applicant seems to be a good match for the dog or cat they are interested in, we will set up a home visit with the pet. All family members and other pets must be present at the time of the visit. There is an adoption fee that covers vet exam, vaccinations, heartworm or combo testing, deworming, spay/neuter, microchip and microchip registration, along with any other medical care needed. Adoption fees for dogs range from $250 to $325 and cats are $125 to $175.

About Dire Straits Companion Animal Rescue
Dire Straits is a small all-volunteer organization that was started in 2007 to rescue injured, abused and neglected dogs and cats. Our rescues often require extensive medical care and recuperation time for their injuries. They are cared for in foster homes and all medical expenses are covered by donations and adoption fees. We are always in need of more quality foster homes and we are very thankful for any donations that come our way. If you are interested in providing a foster home for a needy dog or cat or would like to make a donation toward medical care, please email Jan at: direstraitsresq@mail.com.

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.
