Dirt Road Rescues - PA Chapter's adoption process

Additional adoption info

All animals are checked by a veterinarian before being listed to determine they are in good health.

I have an application that must be completed by potential adopters. I must obtain information to speak to your veterinarian for current animal records. If you are a new pet owner, I will require three references, one being your employer.

Once the application is approved, transportation options will be discussed.

About Dirt Road Rescues - PA Chapter

First and foremost, I am an animal lover and think they all deserve a loving home. I live in a rural area and find abandoned animals often or low income families that need help with pet overpopulation. I find homes for puppies and pay for spay/neuter of parents with the puppy adoption fees. I also help local shelters when they are at maximum capacity, which is often. Rescued pets are by far the most loving and loyal, and I want them all to experience being a pampered pet!

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.
