Ridge Rescue Society's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption application in full must be submitted as first step. We check 3 references (not family members) and vet reference. We then do a meet and greet with all family members, if there are other pets in the home we have a meeting outside of the home first (for dogs) to gauge initial reactions of the dogs.
We complete home visits after an approved adoption within the first 2 years - up to 4 per year. Our mandate is that the animal must be returned to RRS if the family can no longer care for him/her. Adoption fee is charged and a contract is signed to finalize adoption.

About Ridge Rescue Society

The president has been involved in rescue for 22 years; this is a life passion, and life imagined any other way it's not possible.
All animals go to the main location (acreage) prior for a minimum 2 week assessment prior to being available to transfer to foster homes or up for adoption.
Each animal receives basic vet care (vaccines, deworming, altering) upon arrival. Once this is completed our animals are then ready to be placed in foster home. If the dog is too young for spay/neuter this is the only vetting that may not be completed prior to foster placement/adoption.

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.
