Rescue FAQs

We are dedicated to improving the lives of abused, abandoned, and homeless animals by aiding in their journey to a better life. RescueConnect also encourages and educates individuals to keep their animals up to date on vaccinations, on heartworm preventative (for canines) and encourages spaying/neutering. For more exotic pets, we will complete the research necessary to provide literature and guidance on proper care or connect guardians with experts.
We are a volunteer-staffed, non-profit organization rescuing and placing un-wanted, neglected, and abandoned animals with approved rescue organizations or in permanent homes. In addition, we will work with individuals or groups to find solutions to keep an animal with their responsible guardian!

Additional adoption info

Once the adoption application is received, a home visit will be set up. If that goes well and is approved, then a vet check is completed (if the applicant has recently owned an animal, if not, two professional references will be required). Once both of those are approved, then the adoption fee will need to be paid.
