Southwest Collie Rescue, Inc.'s adoption process
Additional adoption info
Our process requires a free application, a home visit by a SWCR volunteer, phone or physical visits with our foster families, and matching up the dog with the adopter with the dog. We run about a 98% success rate which means we really spend a good deal of time making the adoption process successful. Our adopters pay a minimal fee for a fully vetted and spayed/neutered dog. Our adoption contract requires the adopted dog be returned to us for any reason he/she can not stay with the adopter. We will refund the adoption fee if the adopter would like us to do that.

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.
