My story

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

Diego is a playful 8 month old male chihuahua puppy! He came to us from the local shelter where he was surrendered with his sister, mother, and another chihuahua as their owner had too many dogs. All 4 of the dogs were very scared and under socialized, so the shelter reached out as they thought they would do better in a foster home environment. Diego was the most scared and spiciest of the 4 in the shelter but warmed up to his foster mom within 5 minutes and was behaving like a typical playful puppy jumping all over her and giving her lots of kisses. His new family will need to be patient and understand that he will be slow to trust new people and will be scared and timid in new environments. He loves to play and cuddle with his sister, mom, a couple foster fur siblings and his foster mom. Diego loves to play with toys and will need a securely fenced yard to run around in as he’s a tiny escape artist as he’s very adventurous. He loves food and thinks he’s a parrot as he loves to sit on his foster mom’s shoulder. He gets along with the dogs and cats in his foster home but will chase the cats if they run, so he would probably do best in a home with dog savvy cats. He is housetrained and will use potty pads as well as go potty outside. Diego is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all age appropriate vaccinations, and his adoption fee is $500. If you are interested in meeting him complete an application from our website at www.revolutionrescue.com and we will be in touch!

Pet Adoption Fees.

These services would ordinarily run up a bill well over $250, so you’re actually getting quite a bargain by adopting from us! Of course, donations on top of the adoption fees are always welcome, since many times we must provide additional medical care such as surgery for injuries or congenital problems, X-rays, blood panels, fecal tests, and treatments for any infections or viruses. Remember though, all veterinary care once you’ve adopted a new companion into your family, is your responsibility for the life of your pet.

Cost:
Kittens and Adult Cats: $100
Puppies and Adult Dogs: $175+

Pet Adoption Process:

Step 1: Please complete and submit the Adoption Application. Filling out the adoption application is NOT a commitment to adopt: it is simply the first step in the process. You may fill out the application online or if you prefer to put pen to paper, just email us and we will send one to you via mail.

Step 2: Once we receive your application, it will be reviewed by a Revolution Rescue team member. We are not able to accept every application for adoption and we reserve the right to reject applications without reason. Adoption applications are PROCESSED on a first come first serve basis but are APPROVED based on which applicant is the best match for the animal and family. Revolution Rescue will perform a vet check and reference check (no exceptions). WE WILL call your vet and make sure all animals in your care are current on their vaccinations, rabies, on a monthly heart worm preventative and spayed/neutered. We also require 2 personal references that are not family related.

Step 3: If your application is approved, a Revolution Rescue team member will be contacting you to schedule a home visit. Revolution Rescue has guidelines for application acceptance and realizes that your opinion may differ from ours. Please understand that we will always have the best interests in mind for our animals.

Step 4: When the home visit passes, we will schedule you for a “meet & greet” with the desired animal. Your entire family will meet the potential candidate and make sure it’s a good match for you and your family’s lifestyle.

Step 5: With the meet and greet thumbs up, Revolution Rescue will set up a “sleep over”. Our “sleep over” program has been quite successful with our adoption process. We believe it is important for the potential family to spend quality time in their own home, and a few hours just aren’t enough to make sure if our animal will be the right fit. It also gives you the opportunity to bond with your potential new family member.

Step 6: The final step! If the “sleep over" was a huge success, we will then approve your adoption application. One of our team members will set up a time to meet you at your home and finalize the adoption. A contract will be required. Our contract is a legal-binding document that spells out your responsibilities as the owner of the pet you are adopting. In addition, the contract provides you with a record for the medical history that Revolution Rescue provided for the animal while in our care.

More about this rescue

Mission Statement
It is Revolution Rescue’s sole drive and mission to help prevent cruelty to animals by providing exceptional foster care and re-homing services for homeless dogs and cats, concentrating on those who have ended up on the line in area shelters and throughout the states. We strive to educate the public on unfair legislation towards certain breeds, companion animal overpopulation, and the alternatives of fostering and re-homing as a solution to help end the killing of adoptable animals. Because they all deserve a chance.

Our Story
The backbone of this rescue started as a small network of friends who were determined to help end and prevent cruelty by lessening the number of animals in need, especially the ones in the shelter systems. The euthanasia statistics are staggering. Far too many animals are not given a chance, mainly due to lack of space, and we are changing that...one by one.

We will continue to fight Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) towards the many dogs that carry the unfair stigma of being a “bully breed”. If more people can open their minds and their hearts, and give these amazing animals a chance, we can reduce the number being held (and not making it out of) our shelters.

We are a team devoted to each other and to animal rescue.

Our Promise
We are dedicated to making a positive difference for any and all animals that come into Revolution Rescue, so that the transition to their forever home will go as smoothly as possible. We encourage everyone to save the life of a shelter pet by adopting. Supporting breeders by purchasing animals from pet stores, etc…only adds to the problem and is how so many end up facing certain death.

We promise you won’t be sorry. Rescue is the best breed!
