Additional adoption info
Adopting a friend
*We do not expect you to be perfect but we do have some steadfast guidelines we follow to help place our rescue pets in the homes we feel are likely to be lifelong, loving and safe.
All prospective families must fill out an adoption application which can be obtained by emailing us at:
RoheAnimalRescue@aol.com
This helps us get to know you and your family and what type of pet would be a good possible match for you.
References and a home study are required for all adoptions. This is for the safety of our rescues so that they are placed in loving forever homes.
What our home study is about:
We're not judging how clean your house is, or how much money you have. We just want to make sure that you have a home and family that is compatible for the animal you are interested in adopting. Home studies are also a time for us to get to know your family, answer any questions you might have, and help you decide if the pet you are interested in is a great match for you.
There is also an adoption donation to partially off set veterinary expenses, and an adoption contract to sign.
What does our fee help to cover?
Fees we paid to rescue a dog or cat from a shelter
Spaying/Neutering
Getting the pet up to date on shots and testing
Getting the pet started on heartworm preventative
Microchipping
Various other expenditures (differs among animals)
Our adoption fees do not even cover the amount of money we've spent to prepare a pet for adoption (spaying/neutering, bringing up to date on shots, heartworm preventative, tests and any other care. Along with other expenses endured to run the rescue and complete the adoption process) while in our program.
What is our contract about?
We want to be certain that your newly adopted pet will be cared for throughout it's entire life. If for any reason the animal needs something you are unable to provide or is in danger, the pet is to come back to us and we ask that you agree to this. There is also a thorough form filled out with all medical procedures, shots, notes on behavior, and anything else you will need to know about your new family member included in your contract.

Are your current pets up to date on their routine medical care?
Routine exams and preventative medicine is the key to a long and happy, healthy life for your pet.
Are your current pets taking heartworm preventative?
Heart worms are a deadly and costly disease. Even if your pet is an indoor pet, anywhere and at any time of year when there are mosquitoes the possibility of heart worms exists.
Are your current pets spayed or neutered?
Within seven years, one breeding can result in over 1,000 puppies or kittens!! Please spay and neuter your pets for their health, and to save thousands of unwanted animals from going through needless suffering.
Have you ever surrendered a pet that you owned to a shelter?
It is important that our dogs and cats are placed in homes that they can think of as their "forever families." Some of our dogs and cats have seen various homes and situations and all they want, need, and deserve is unconditional, lifelong love.

If once you've adopted your new pet from us and find that it's just not working out... What do you do?
While some things may seem like a big deal, don't forget there is an adjustment period. Dogs and cats usually take a while to really relax and be themselves. They may be nervous and frightened. Be firm and correct bad habits in a controlled manner. Be patient and use us for a sounding board to vent your frustrations and get tips on how to correct behavior. Why not pick up a book (The Second Hand Pet is a great book to help you) to help you through trouble spots, or contact us for some advice specific to your situation?
If all else fails with your adoption, we'll work with your situation as necessary in the best interest of the animal. If you have a problem with a pet you've adopted through us we want you to turn to us, not a shelter or another rescue group with this pet. If the animal turns out not a compatible pet/compainion for you and or your family, we require you return the animal to us to be placed in a new forever home (as agreed in the adoption contract).
