To help streamline the adoption process and ensure we have the necessary information about potential adopters, please follow these steps:1. Understand the Difference: Submitting an inquiry or application on Adopt-A-Pet is not the same as applying for the dog or cat. Inquiries provide us with minimal information about the potential adopter, making it challenging for us to evaluate suitability.2. Submit an Application: We kindly ask that you submit an adoption application on our website to be considered for adoption. Please choose the appropriate application link below based on whether you are interested in adopting a dog or cat:~ Apply here (DOG): https://davincisdream.org/dog-adoption/~ Apply here (CAT): https://davincisdream.org/cat-adoption/3. Be Patient: Keep in mind that we are a volunteer-based organization, and we receive a high number of inquiries and applications. Due to these constraints, we may not be able to respond to every inquiry individually. However, submitting an application provides us with the necessary information to consider you as a potential adopter.**TRANSPORTS**We are based in Columbia, KY, and extend our services to other locations through our transport program. To ensure the safe and responsible transport of our animals, we currently only transport to these destinations: Greenwood, IN, Wilmington, OH, Washington, PA, and Lake City, FL.To be eligible for transport, dogs/cats must meet specific criteria:1. Approved Application: You will need to submit an adoption application for the animal and receive approval. Please also note that clicking the "I'm Interested" button on PetFinder is not an application. To start the adoption process, you need to fill out an application on our website.2. Deposit Paid: A deposit must be paid as part of the adoption process.3. Transport Contract Signed: The potential adopter must sign a transport contract, indicating their commitment to meet the dog on the designated date.The "Transport" label next to each animal's name signifies that this animal is available for transport, but please remember that this transport service is exclusively for dogs that meet the above criteria. This ensures the safety and well-being of the animals throughout the journey.For more information about our transport process, please visit our website here: https://davincisdream.org/transport/READ ABOUT OUR ADOPTION FEES: https://davincisdream.org/adoption-fees/**ADOPTION FEES**To view the adoption fees for our animals, please go to the "Dogs" or "Cats" tab and select "Available Dogs" or "Available Cats." Then, click on the profile of the animal you are interested in. The adoption fee for each animal is listed on their individual profile page.Please note that the adoption fees listed on our website are for in-state adoptions within Kentucky. Out-of-state adoptions will incur additional fees, which must be paid upfront as deposits.Additionally, the adoption fee listed on Petfinder includes the total fee, including transport. You may notice a lower fee on our website when viewing the animal's profile; this fee is for in-state adoptions only.For more information about our adoption fees, please visit: davincisdream.org/adoption-fees/.**FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) FOR OUR DOG LISTINGS**Before reaching out to us, please take a moment to review these frequently asked questions. We strive to provide you with all the information you need right here. Please understand that due to the high volume of inquiries, we may not be able to respond to questions covered in this FAQ section.1. Are your dogs potty trained?Unless the dog's bio specifically states that they are potty trained, you can assume they are not. Many of our rescue dogs come from challenging circumstances and may not have been exposed to housetraining. Housetraining is typically the responsibility of the adopter.2. Do you transport to other locations?Currently, we transport to Wilmington, Ohio, Greenwood, Indiana, Washington, PA, and Lake City, FL.3. Is this cat/dog still available?If the cat or dog is listed on Adopt-A-Pet and does not have an "adoption pending" tag on the website, we are still accepting applications. However, please be aware that we often receive multiple applications for each animal.4. How long does it take to hear back about my application?It can take up to 10 days to receive a response from us. If you do not hear back within this timeframe, please understand that we may have chosen not to move forward with your application. We are a volunteer-based organization and, while we read every application, we may not be able to respond to each one individually.Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our fur babies and for taking the time to review these FAQs. Your support and understanding of our processes are greatly appreciated as we work tirelessly to find loving homes for our rescue animals.

Story
Meet Rocko!Rocko is the perfect mix of energetic goofball and professional cuddle buddy! He loves to play and is a pro at fetch, but he’s equally happy climbing into your lap for some quality snuggle time. Affection is his love language, and he gives it freely. He’s house trained, neutered, great on a leash, and an excellent co-pilot in the car, making him the perfect adventure partner. Rocko will happily head into his kennel for a treat or enrichment toy, though he’s still working on his patience while inside. After all, he’d much rather be hanging out with his people.Rocko is 7 years YOUNG and still has plenty of pep in his step and a playful spark that keeps life interesting.Rocko’s perfect match is a family ready to shower him with all the love and attention he deserves! Cats are not considered friends in Rocko’s book, and he is very particular about other dogs. He prefers to be the star of the show! An only pet household would be preferred. Rocko tends to bond quickest with women and would do best with patient, slower introductions to men so he can build trust at his own pace. Once he feels comfortable, Rocko is a loyal, loving companion who’s ready to soak up all the affection from his people.He has been working on his manners as well and has been doing fantastic with what he learned during his training! Rocko will need a patient pet parent who understands his needs and is willing to provide a safe space in this new chapter of his life.If you’re looking for a fun loving, affectionate, slightly squishy sidekick who will keep you laughing, Rocko might just be your guy!Apply to adopt Rocko here: https://form.jotform.com/261546594783168Please note- Rocko is being fostered in Memphis, TN. Transportation can be discussed once an adoption application is submitted, reviewed, and approved.
