Rudy's Rescue and Resource Services Inc

Additional adoption info

We are not a shelter; each of the animals you see listed with Rudy's Rescue is kept in a loving foster home. They are given love, training and the attention they require.

Adoptions through our rescue require an application process, please do not ask to see a dog until you have filled out an application, provided references and had home visit. Due to our required home visit, preference will be given to those in the Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse areas.

We strive to make the best match for each dog within our program. This process may take two weeks or more if you are not within the Rochester or Syracuse area. Please be patient, good things come to those who wait.

FOSTER-TO-ADOPT

In an effort to increase adoptions and ensure the dog you are interested in is just the right fit for you, the Foster To Adopt Program allows fully approved adopters to have a taste of what life with their new companion will be.

Those interested in the program will go through the regular application approval process. Once approved, the potential adopter may take home the dog they are interested in for 7-10 days for a $25 non-refundable donation. After the 7-10 day period, should you want to adopt the dog, the $25 donation will be applied to the dog's adoption fee and the final payment is due within 14 days of the start of your foster to adopt period. For puppies under 6 months of age, the foster to adopt option is not available. Otherwise, the dog is returned to Rudy's Rescue and you can feel good knowing you have helped with the dog's vet and care expenses.


Our adoption fee for dogs 1-7 years of age is $250;
for dogs under a year, $300;
and $200 for dogs seven years or older, or for dogs with serious handicaps.

Since we are a volunteer organization funded entirely by contributions, we count on your continuing support as well as your adoption fees to help defray the costs of caring for our foster dogs. We are delighted to accept any amounts over these minimum fees to help other dogs in our care.
