Brothers Jasper and Casper were born in Aug 2021 and Casper has been returned to his original family again although neither were his fault. He hasn't had the best of luck with adopters. Both families had housing issues and chose to let go of Casper instead of making other choices. Anyway, Casper has been in 3 homes and continues to be a loving fellow. He was recently in boarding care and did great with the ohter dogs and the staff. He doesn't mind cats or kids and would do best in a home where someone is home often and there is another dog he canhang out with. He doesn't like being crated alone and displays some stress when left alone where he can't see any friends. The rescue is out of room and doesn't have a foster for these pups, so they are listed as a courtesy post and their caregivers will be involved in the selection of their next homes and families. Interested adopters should complete the rescue adoption application from the rescue website.
If you are interesting in meeting any of our pets, the process is to complete an application. It can be downloaded as a pdf document from our website and submitted by email to WindyRidgeRescue@gmail.com as a scanned document or as photos OR can be completed entirely online. Both links are in the header of our website.
Because we are foster based, we require an approved application to schedule a meet and greet. We feel that is fair to our fosters and rescues so every meet and greet can result in an adoption. A limited number of cats are showcased at Peetco in Sumter, SC weekly.
​We do not have set adoption fees for dogs, but hope adopters will donate generously so we can rescue more. The medical care for every dog can easily exceed the adoption donation. Average adoption fees for dogs in the area range from $175 up to $450. Your generous adoption donations help us continue our programs of providing quality food and medical care to those who pass through our fosters.
We ask for a minimum adoption donation of $70 for cats who are not yet altered and $100 for cats who are already spayed or neutered, regardless of age. Please bring your own carrier for the ride home! Each cat is up to date on vaccinations, dewormer, and microchipped. Larger donations are always welcome so we can rescue more. Medical care for each cat easily exceeds the minimum donation.
​As with every rescue, our resources are limited and the need for rescue help is unlimited. Your generosity helps us to rescue more and funds the only Trap Neuter Return Program in the county. It's like tossing $100 bills in the woods when we trap a cat, vaccinate and spay or neuter that cat and then return them to the colony. Young kittens are tamed and available for adoption. We are alone doing this in our area. Your increased donation at the time of adoption can help us cover costs for the cat becoming part of your family as well as a feral to prevent more feral litters.
​Adopting or fostering for a rescue frees up a space where a new rescue can reside.
​If you can't adopt or foster, than please consider donating.
