Their adoption process

We are a foster-based, volunteer-run rescue, and all of our animals live in foster homes rather than a public shelter. Because of this, an approved application is required before scheduling any meet-and-greet.

Our adoption process is not first-come, first-served. We review all completed applications for each animal and work closely with our foster families to select the home that best fits that animal’s personality, needs, and long-term success.

Applications are typically reviewed within 10–15 days, depending on volume. Due to the number of applications we receive, we are not able to send individual denial emails. If you do not hear from us within that timeframe, you are welcome to apply for another animal that may be a better fit.

Animals remain in foster homes in Kentucky until adoption is finalized. We coordinate meet-and-greets locally or at designated transport locations for approved adopters. Out-of-state adoptions require a health certificate in accordance with state law.

Please note that submitting an application does not place a hold on an animal and does not guarantee approval. Our goal is always to make thoughtful, informed matches that support long-term success for both the animal and the adopter.

Adoption steps

  1. Submit Application
    Start by completing our adoption application. This helps us understand your preferences and ensure the best possible match.
  2. Interview
    If we find your application to be a suitable match, we will request that you schedule a time to speak with our Adoption Director.
  3. Approve Application
    Upon a successful interview, we will send you an approval email and arrange a meeting time.
  4. Meet the Pet
    We'll schedule a meet-up to see if you both are a perfect fit.
  5. Pay Fee
    We kindly ask our adopters for an adoption donation to help cover spay/neuter, vaccinations, and basic care expenses.
  6. Take the Pet Home
    Once the above steps are done, you're ready to take your new pet home!

Go meet their pets

All of our dogs and cats live in foster homes throughout Kentucky and are not housed in a public shelter. Because of this, we require an approved application before scheduling any meet-and-greet.

For approved adopters, meet-and-greets are coordinated either locally with the foster family or at designated transport locations. Due to the nature of foster-based rescue, we are not able to accommodate walk-in visits or open browsing of available animals.

We work closely with our foster families to schedule meet-and-greets that are appropriate for each individual animal and adopter. In some cases, a limited number of animals may be available for local appointments, while transport meet-ups are typically scheduled for one animal at a time.

We appreciate your understanding as we coordinate schedules across multiple foster homes to ensure the best experience for both our animals and adopters.

More about this rescue

About Da Vinci’s Dream

Da Vinci’s Dream is a foster-based, volunteer-run nonprofit animal rescue based in Kentucky. As a registered 501(c)(3), our mission is to rescue dogs and cats from high-risk shelters, overcrowded rural areas, stray situations, and difficult backgrounds, then place them in safe, loving forever homes through a thoughtful and responsible adoption process.

Unlike traditional shelters, all of our animals live in foster homes where we are able to observe their personality, behavior, and daily routine in a real home environment. This allows us to provide adopters with more accurate information and make better long-term matches.

We are committed to responsible placement, which is why our adoption process includes a detailed application and review process. Applications are not first-come, first-served. Instead, we work closely with our foster families to select the home that best fits each individual animal’s needs. This approach helps improve long-term success for both the animal and the adopter.

Da Vinci’s Dream regularly works with shelter partners and communities throughout Kentucky, helping relieve overcrowding and giving animals a second chance. Through foster care, transport coordination, and community outreach, we are able to expand adoption opportunities beyond our immediate area and connect animals with families across multiple states.

Our rescue is entirely volunteer-run, and every adoption involves coordination between fosters, veterinary care, and transport scheduling when needed. While our process may take time, it is designed to ensure each placement is thoughtful, informed, and successful.

At Da Vinci’s Dream, we believe adoption is more than just finding a home—it is about creating the right match so every animal has the opportunity to thrive.
