Out Of Harm's Way's adoption process
Additional adoption info
When our dogs and cats are placed, Out Of Harm's Way requires an adoption contract to be signed by the adoptive family. We hold this as a legal and binding contract between the rescue and the adoptive family insuring the future well-being of their new family member. Out Of Harm's Way also requires an adoption fee with each adoption so that our rescue may cover the inevitable costs involved in pulling, vetting, maintaining and placing these needy dogs and cats. Each new rescue dog/cat requires a hefty financial outlay. Adoption fees enable us to continue our rescue efforts by supporting ongoing expenses and provide reimbursement for the cost of the spay/neuter, microchipping and any veterinary care required prior to placement, and in some instances, even travel costs. In all cases, the expenses related to a particular dog/cat will be covered by the set adoption fee. Please remember that our rescue has invested tons of time, effort and money into all these animals. We simply must recoup this investment in order to continue rescuing needy animals. You may also consider that if an adoption fee is beyond your means, you may need to consider a pet which does not require as much care and expense as a dog or cat. Please keep in mind that the normal care and upkeep of any pet requires an ongoing financial outlay.

About Out Of Harm's Way
The Out Of Harm's Way mission is to improve the lives of homeless, abandoned, neglected and abused dogs and cats through our rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing efforts. We endeavor to remove them from harm‘s way by pulling them from kill shelters, taking them in through owner surrenders, providing for their immediate medical needs, evaluating their behavioral and social needs, then finding suitable placements for them so that they may live out the remainder of their lives happy, healthy, and well loved. We seek to show all these animals the love and respect they deserve that comes through humane care, heartfelt compassion and the touch of human kindness.

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.
