To be considered for this pet you MUST first apply on our website www.goingtothedogsrescue.org You will want to have your veterinary and/or personal reference information handy, as well as landlord information if you are a renter, to fill out the application completely. • We will not pursue an incomplete application • Once complete, you can speed up process by contacting your vet's office and giving them permission to release information. We may dismiss the application if this is not completed. • Volunteers handle dozens of applications at a time so we do not guarantee contact with everyone. We try our best, but we are working around jobs, kids, and of course, dogs. •Adoptions generally take longer than 4 days to process but there is no set time frame. We do the best we can as a non-profit, so please be patient. We currently do not adopt out of state (or more than 3 hours away) unless the dog in question has limited options and has been waiting for an extended period of time in our rescue. In most cases of puppies, we have so many applications it makes little sense to transport them out of area and use more resources up to do so. With that in mind, we have limited our out-of-state options to those who have less applicants coming in. Dogs are individuals and have specific needs. We evaluate each of our dogs and develop adopter criteria for each one in order for adoptions to be successful — for life. These are often non-negotiable if listed on the dogs individual profile. Some requirements that may be listed are as follows: • Homeownership vs. renting • Fully-fenced yards vs. non- fenced; invisible fence is never allowed • Training with a professional force-free/positive reinforcement trainer • Cohabitation restrictions (cats, dogs, small animals, young children, etc.) • No indoor smoking (all adoptions) Your current pets must be spayed or neutered in order to be considered as an adopter. They must also be seen regularly by a veterinarian to ensure responsible pet ownership. Our mission is to ensure the safety of all of our dogs and help to end unnecessary euthanasia due to over breeding/overpopulation, and thus we must ensure that our potential adoptive homes are compatible with those goals. We have made exceptions for severe medical conditions or age that would make spay or neuter procedures risky.
