My name is Tux!

At Desert Paws Sanctuary, we’re committed to finding the perfect match for both our pets and their new families. Here’s how our adoption process works:

Submit an Application – Begin your journey by filling out our adoption application, which helps us learn more about you and your lifestyle.

Application Screening – Our team will carefully review your application to ensure a good fit for both you and the pet.

Reference Check – At this stage, we will contact your references to confirm the information provided.

Schedule a Meet-and-Greet – If everything checks out, we’ll arrange a meeting between you, your family, and the pet.

Adoption Day! – If the meet-and-greet goes well, you can finalize the adoption on the same day and welcome your new furry family member home!

We take these steps to ensure our pets go to loving, safe, and well-matched homes. Thank you for understanding and for choosing adoption!

At Desert Paws Sanctuary, our pets are loved and cared for in foster homes while they await their forever families. Because we are a foster-based rescue, all meet-and-greets with our pets are by appointment only.

This approach allows us to give each potential adopter a personalized experience while minimizing stress for our animals. Thank you for your understanding and support in giving these pets the love and care they deserve!

Desert Paws Sanctuary is committed to rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of abandoned animals. We are a foster-based rescue. Our mission is to establish a sanctuary for these animals while also offering educational resources and support to low-income communities in the area of animal welfare.
