Additional adoption info

Anyone who is interested in one of our pets needs to first meet them.

If they feel a connection to the animal and want to pursue further they would fill out an adoption application. Part of the adoption application asks for references which are checked prior to approval or non approval for adoption.

A home visit is scheduled to see what type of environment the dog would be living in. This would also be a good time to check and see how the adoptable pet would be with any other household pets. If all of these steps are successful, the rescue reviews the process and comes to a conclusion. And hopefully a new family member will be added to your household!

About Ellie's Legacy Pet Rescue

Ellie's Legacy Pet Rescue is a brand new rescue based out of Alexandria, MN and was made official when two animal lovers joined together to save as many lives as possible. We don't discriminate any breed and do whatever we can to help. We were both driven to make a change after our beloved dogs passed away.

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.
