Areas Louisa's New Leash On Life Rescue serves
Louisa’s New Leash On Life Rescue’s is a 501(c)(3) non-profit who’s primary goal is to provide a positive living environment for senior/special needs dogs that are found and turned into shelters, abandoned or are surrendered by owners. Many of these dogs have given all their lives to love a family or individual, and when they’re time is almost up or if a medical issue becomes present, they’re discarded from the only home they’ve ever known. We hope to find like minded caring individuals who will take these amazing dogs into their home and show them the compassion they deserve for the time they have remaining, whether it be a few weeks, several months or years.

Additional adoption info
Louisa’s New Leash On Life Rescue’s Adoption/Foster Guidelines some may say is similar to adopting a child, that’s because every dog we rescue we want placed in a home where he/she will be cherished for the rest of their life and also receive appropriate care and nurturing the dog needs to thrive.
We screen applicants as follows:
APPLICATION: We have them fill out an adoption application so we are able to see if the dog they are interested in is compatible with your living quarters.
INTERVIEW: Potential adopters are interviewed (during the dog adoption event, or we schedule a telephone interview at a time convenient) to ask the potential adopter some questions to learn more about their reason for wanting a pet, what their experience is with a pet, if they travel a lot, if they’re traveling a lot, will the dog have someone stay or visit them, etc.
REFERENCE CHECKS: We do request at least two reference checks, two if you have a vet and a family member. If you can not provide a vet reference, then we ask you for three reference checks.
HOME VISITS: We do quick tour of your home to make sure the home is safe and that the home is not cluttered where a dog can accidentally swallow something. We also do a yard check (if there is a yard) to make sure it is secure and the dog has no ability of escaping. We are not doing home visits to judge you on your decor, we are simply there to make sure that the animal will have a safe and wonderful home.
MEET AND GREET: This is usually done the same day at the home visit if you are adopting/fostering a dog from us. We bring the dog to your house to see how they react to the environment.
ADOPTION CONTRACT: We have every adopter fill out an adoption contract that states they must provide basic care for the animal that they are adopting , that they are adopting the animal for the rest of it’s life and it will be returned only to us and never turned into another rescue group or any shelter if for some reason they no longer wish to have the animal as part of their family.
ADOPTION FEE: We do charge an adoption fee, which is tax deductible and used to help rescue more animals
FOLLOW UP: We (Mostly Michael) is notorious for over following up LOL! We check on the dogs we adopt out and place in foster, sometimes on a bi-weekly basis. People who have adopted dogs from us pretend they don’t mind, but they probably do, but we don’t care because we love the animals we rescue! Eventually we back off, to maybe once a month

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.
