Requirements: Adopters must be over 20 years of age; proof of residence, rental agreement pet-policies, and home-check may be required.
There are no wrong or right answers! We do not expect perfection from our dogs, nor do we of people! We are looking to find caring, compassionate, and committed homes open to learning, wanting to actively help an animal & comitted to a lifetime of companionship + care.
1. Complete Application:
Complete form thoroughly and honestly. The more detail the better! Help us get to know you as pet owners! One word or short answered applications will be more difficult for us to approve.
EMAIL pictures of home (common spaces), backyard area/fencing, & current pets to coordinators@heartsforpawsrescue.com. You are welcome to, but not required to include videos and or pictures of your dog-owning adventures as well. Incomplete apps may not be reviewed.
2. We will contact you within 1-4 days via email and/or phone call
Many of our emails have been landing in people’s spam folders. Haven’t heard back from us? Please check your spam first!
3. If it sounds like a potential fit for all, we will promptly set up a MEET & GREET
Meet & Greets sometimes end in adoption the same day, but not always. HFP reserves the right to refuse adoption for any reason & to conduct pre and post-adoption home-checks. Breech of contract or failure to provide animal with proper care, vetting, attention, may result in steps to reclaim the animal.
Meeting in Person often provides more insight than the Application. Sometimes the potential match on paper does not transfer as well in-person for you and the dog. It may take a few meet & greets to find your BFF.
If not through us, we encourage you to continue looking to other reputable rescues and shelters as there are no shortage of dogs in need of loving homes! Thank you for choosing adoption to save a life!
above all, THANK you FOR CHOOSING ADOPTION TO SAVE A LIFE!
Thank you for understanding the animal you are interested in may not be the best match for your home and needs - we will use this form to help determine the potential match, or suggest other potential matches.
We are an all-volunteer rescue trying our very best for our community & our animals. Everyone you correspond with and interact with through HFP is volunteering their time, energy & heart into this process.
There is no shortage of dogs in need of loving homes through rescues and shelters!Thank you for remaining committed to adopting.
