Additional adoption info
A potential adopter must submit an adoption application, which will then be reviewed by a volunteer. The volunteer will then call the listed veterinary reference and two additional personal references. After a reference check is complete, a volunteer will schedule an interview and home check with the potential adopters. If everything checks out the application will then be approved. The adopter will then be able to sign up to meet a foster dog that they are interested in. If they have another resident dog, a meet and greet will be required.

About Allie & Pals Rescue
At Allie & Pals Rescue, we strive to set all dogs up for success in the safest and most caring homes. We advocate for animal training, in order to help bridge the gap between owner knowledge and rescue dog behavior. Our mission is to assist in decreasing the euthanasia rates amongst shelters locally and nation-wide. Our rescue was started up by a group of dog lovers! In 2021, we saw the amount of homeless dogs that desperately needed families of their own, so we all came together with a mission to help. Our volunteers come from all different backgrounds, which allows us to put everyone's experiences to good use.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
