Rescue FAQs

R.A.I.N./Rescuing animals in need was originally established in 2011. We are located in Western Washington. Most of our dogs and cats come from underfunded shelters in California or Washington, where animals can be euthanized anytime due to lack of space, poor health, or duration of stay. Many of our pets are rescued at the “eleventh hour” and are considered critical or urgent. They had little chance of being saved. We partner closely with a select group of rescues in California to save and place them Rescued dogs and cats are vaccinated, spayed/neutered (if old enough), given flea/tick preventive, deworming medication, and microchipped. They are socialized with other pets and worked with regularly in foster care so we can get to know their personalities in depth. This ensures that the pet is well adjusted, happy and healthy before being adopted. It also helps us select the perfect forever home. Many of them have been through severe hardship, mistreatment or neglect, and that makes it even more important that we do our best for them. This means that we have to have guidelines because not every adopter is right for every animal. Our animals do not have a say in where they go; since we speak for those who have no voice, we must do right by them. For more information about R.A.I.N. rescue, please contact us at rescuinganimals@gmail.com.
Rescuing Animals in Need is a no kill rescue/foster network based in Western WA. Most of our dogs and cats are rescued from high kill shelters in California and Eastern Washington, but are fostered here in our Western Washington state prior to adoption.

Additional adoption info

It is imperative that you complete the entire application and be 100% open and honest. We do verify information on the application such as residence status, veterinarian reference etc. Only applicants that are best suited for the animal will be considered and will proceed to the next step of the adoption process.

We do adopt to out of state adopters, however, you must travel here to Western WA to pick up your potential new dog or cat. We do not allow any of our animals to fly commercially, be picked up or transported by anyone other than the adopters. It’s important that the dogs and cats are met by the potential adopters in person prior to adoption.
