We are so happy you and your family have made the decision to rescue a dog or puppy from For the Love of Dog Rescue!
Please take time to look through our "Available Dogs" section on the website to see who is currently waiting for their forever home!
Our application is designed to help our adoption coordinators match you and your family to the available dog(s) who best fit your lifestyle. We ask that everyone in the adoptive household is involved in filling out the application. Applications may take up to 5 business days to be fully processed. Please do not call/email for status updates on your application if it has not been longer than this time period. An email will be sent to you once an adoption coordinator has begun processing your application. FTLOD Rescue asks that you call your veterinarian to let them know our rescue will be reaching out for a reference once you have submitted the adoption application.
Please Note: While we encourage prospective adopters to apply for any dog or puppy they like, we ask that they keep in mind our goal at FTLODR is to find each canine under our care the most ideal homes possible; this includes matching them to homes which they will thrive in. FTLOD Rescue reserves the right to deny any adoption based on answers to this application and/or interviews prior to adoptions.
FTLOD Rescue is a 100% foster based rescue, this means we do not have a public shelter facility. All dogs reside in homes with our amazing volunteer foster families where they are beginning to learn basic skills that will start them off on the right paw in their forever homes! Once your adoption application is approved we will coordinate with the foster family to set a date for you and your family to meet the dog! We ask that all members of the household where the dog will reside, both human and dog, be in attendance during this meet and greet.
The final step of our adoption process is the home visit! One of our adoption coordinators will bring the dog or puppy to your home and ensure that this adoption will be successful! After completing the home visit the adoption is finalized! FTLOD Rescue may also do a virtual home visit depending on distance from the rescue/available coordinators. In the case of a virtual home visit, once completed, the dog or puppy will be dropped off the following day.
Starting at $550+
Our adoption fees are based off of several factors that contribute to the overall cost of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming a dog. First and foremost, our rescue prioritizes the health and well-being of the animals in our care. Before a dog is ready for adoption, we provide them with comprehensive veterinary care, including vaccinations, spaying/neutering, microchipping, and any necessary medical treatments. These expenses can quickly accumulate, especially for dogs requiring extensive medical attention or specialized care.
Additionally, we invest significant resources in ensuring the dogs receive proper nutrition, training, and socialization during their time with us. We also dedicate considerable efforts towards conducting behavioral assessments and matching each dog with the most suitable forever home, taking into account factors such as compatibility, lifestyle, and the dog's specific needs.
Furthermore, the adoption fee helps sustain our rescue organization and support our ongoing rescue efforts. It covers operational expenses, such as facility maintenance, staff salaries, utilities, and transportation. By charging a higher adoption fee, we can continue providing quality care to our dogs and maintain the necessary infrastructure to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome more animals in the future.
It is important to note that while our adoption fee may be higher, it reflects the level of commitment, dedication, and resources we invest in every dog's well-being and successful adoption journey. We believe that by setting a reasonable fee, we can ensure that our adopters are genuinely invested in providing a loving and responsible forever home for our rescued dogs.
