OUR ADOPTION PROCESS

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Rescue4All and for choosing to help us save lives! We are very thorough with our application process & only approved applicants can meet our available animals. 
 

  • Only APPROVED ADOPTERS are able to meet our dogs. 

  • The Rescue4All Refuge is not open to the public. 

  • We DO NOT allow for any of our animals to be "outside animals" we believe that pets are family and should be part of the family inside the home, where they are warm & safe.

  • We DO NOT adopt to homes who have unspayed/unneutered animals. **WE DO NOT MAKE EXCEPTIONS**

  • We DO NOT allow puppies who are not fully vaccinated to be adopted to individuals who do not have a fully fenced yard OR who live in multi-family, apartment, condo, townhomes, etc that have communal/public animal areas due to the significant & deadly risk of ParvoVirus & Canine Distemper.

Our number one priority is to ensure that the dog we entrust to you is a good fit for your lifestyle, home environment, needs, wants, and expectations AND to find the best forever home for each dog that comes into Rescue4All. 

 

We reserve the right to choose to which applications to move forward with and which not to.  We reserve the right stop the process at any time.

It is imperative that you complete the entire application and be 100% open and honest. It is best to be completely upfront. We will not respond to incomplete applications. We do verify the information provided. Only applicants that are best suited for the animal will be considered and will proceed to the next step of the adoption process.

You can view our available animals on our Facebook Page, on our Adopt-A-Pet Page and on our Petfinder Page.
