Our primary concern is finding our animals a safe, loving home. However, we do have all of our rescue animals fully vetted prior to adoption to include wellness exams, spay or neuter, rabies vaccinations, distemper vaccinations, bordatella vaccinations, heartworm testing, heartworm treatment if applicable, keep them on monthly heartworm until they are adopted, have them treated for any illnesses or injuries, etc. With the rising cost of vetting, we do have a minimum $300 adoption donation for puppies and dogs over 5 months of age and $350 for puppies under 5 months of age however, since we are a 501c3, Non-Profit, Charitable Organization, your adoption donation is fully tax deductible! We require the adopter to fill out our application; which entails vet checks, personal reference checks, background info which can be found on our website at www.southjerseyrescue.com. If the application is approved on paper, we then do require a home visit and a meet & greet in your home. Final requirement is to sign an adoption contract, stating they will provide medical care when needed, keep the animal indoors, provide us with change of address/phone #, return animal to us if there is a problem.
