My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Sampson and I am here to brag about myself. I am an awesome dog! Please don't overlook me because I'm a senior dog. I have better qualities than the youngsters on the block. I am house trained, leash trained, and crate trained. And so easy to walk. I stay by your side. I am a people dog. I will greet them with a gentle approach and wag of my tail...and I love to be petted! As far as companionship, you will never feel alone. I will be by your side whether you are cooking in the kitchen, doing yard work, or laying by your recliner watching TV. I am very calm, very quiet, very easy going. If your heart is as big as mine, we are perfect for each other. I am not just your companion, I am your devoted friend. And if you don't mind, I prefer to be an only child. Thank you for reading about me.
Love, Sampson.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

To learn all about our adoption process please visit the following link: https://www.vocalforpets.org/how-to-adopt-a-pet/

We require an adoption fee for both dogs and cats, an application, and a home visit. We end the process with our adoption contract.

If you are interested in applying for one of our animals, please visit our website www.vocalforpets.org. Our dog and cat applications can be found under the "Paperwork" heading or on the "Adopt" page.

We accept multiple applications on all of our animals; we believe in finding the best fit home. We don't place animals on a first come, first serve basis. Once we receive your application, we will reach out to you to review your application IF we feel you could potentially provide the best fit home for the animal.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We DO NOT have a shelter facility open to the public. We are a foster based program so most of our animals live with our volunteers. We think this is pretty great! Having adoptable animals in foster homes teaches them pet manners such as housebreaking and social skills. It also allows us to learn a lot about the animals and helps us determine the type of home the animal will be most successful in.

If you are wondering how to meet an animal you are interested in adopting, you have to fill out an application first. Then, if we feel you could be a fit, we set up a home visit and meet and greet with the animal.

More about this rescue

We have seen the issues of pet overpopulation firsthand. Our board members and volunteers have worked with local animal shelters and have seen the thousands of animals in Marion County that have nowhere to go, who are often abandoned and/or killed. We also recognize the strength of the human-animal bond and have witnessed the situations that animals often fall into during a family crisis. We have made it our mission to help these animals. We hope you will join us!
