Areas Whiskers Fund serves

We try to pull/save mainly from high kill areas and shelters in FL, TX, GA, AL, TN, LA, MS then once the animal has been fully vetted and cleared to be adopted. We mainly adopt to ME, VT, CT, MA, RI areas. We do take in quite a few medical needs cases and will adopt to any area in order to find them the right home.

Whiskers Fund's adoption process

1.

Submit Application

We are 100% foster based so we require any potential adopters to be fully approved to adopt with us before being allowed to do a meet/greet.

2.

Interview

Approx 45 min phone call, followed by 2 non family personal reference checks, and a vet check. Landlords are contacted for renters.

3.

Home Check

In addition to the above a full video submission of home tour is required to insure a safe and suitable home can be provided.

4.

Approve Application

Once approved, you never need to apply again- you are approved to adopt dogs or cats as we discuss both over our application regardless.

5.

Meet the Pet

Time/place set that works for both foster and adopter for a M/G.Intent for the adopter to bring the pet home if they want. We do not hold.

Sign Adoption Contract

Set up on docusign, drafted by our lawyer. Animals must be returned to us should adopter ever need to rehome.

7.

Pay Fee

Once contract is signed and they are going to take the pet home they submit payment for the adoption fee and take the pet home!

Additional adoption info

We are extremely quick to respond to applications and have a system in place to be able to quickly and safely approve adopters. We are extremely transparent in our procedure and let people know they hold the timing on it. We will not call references until a home video is submitted to ensure they are serious. We provide an adoption bag for all animals including their favorite toys, current food and treats, microchip information (all animals are chipped with Smart Tag chips that are linked to WF and that information is not removable- we set up owners accounts in addition to this). All medical records are sent electronically to adopters so they can set pet up with a wellness visit to get them established at their vet and set up on preventatives! We also have a private facebook group adopters can join if they so choose and make sure litter mate adopters are connected if they so choose to be so they can all stay in touch! Kittens are adopted in pairs or home must have another young playful cat!

About Whiskers Fund

We are Whiskers Fund!

We are a dog and cat rescue in honor of Heather’s late heart kitty, Mr. Whiskers. Heather is the rescue founder, she worked in Veterinary Medicine for 15+ years. Because of her background in vet med Whiskers Fund is able to take on medical needs cases that most rescues cannot afford to or have the foster resources to do so. Heather comes from an aviation family and has used her flight benefits to fly animals for countless other rescues and Whiskers Fund to be adopted for over 15 years. She has since left vet med to pursue aviation as her main career with intent to become a pilot full time along with buying a private plane to help fly animals out of the south which gives local shelters and rescues without this resource more local adopters. Whiskers Fund will always put the animals needs first, we do not find animals for people. We find people for our animals. Whiskers Fund has saved countless parvo puppies, 11 Panleukopenia kitties, many three legged, one eyed, blind, deaf, and hind end paralyzed animals. We know that they are all deserving of being loved and have love to give no matter what. Whiskers Fund also helps our local TNR efforts and anyone we can to be able to help pets stay with their people if they have fallen on hard times. Our 501(c)(3) is underway!

Whiskers Fund's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Soddy- Daisy, TN.

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.
