Interested in Adopting?

Requirements

Adopters must be a least 18 years of age
All adopter must own their home or have written consent from Landlord that approves of dog residents
A home visit is required

Criteria such as the need for a fence, hours the animal may be left alone, level of experience required, etc. will be determined according to the needs of each dog.
Adoption approval is at the sole discretion of Project Hope Animal Rescue
THE DOG IS OUR PRIORITY

Think it through. Do you have the time, energy, and resources to devote to a new pet? Are you committed to caring for the pet for the next 10-15 Years? Do you understand the exercise requirement of a dog?
Complete an adoption application below, indicating which dog you are interested in
Once approved, we will contact you to set up a meet-and-greet with your family.

Adoption fees

ADOPTION FEES:
(Payable by cash, credit card, or check)
*Puppies and dogs age 0-1 year - $300
*Dogs age 1-10 years - $250
*Dogs over10 years - $175

EVERY dog we offer for adoption has been altered (no exceptions). They are also up-to-date on shots, heartworm preventative, and microchipped.

All adoption fees go directly to Project Hope Animal Rescue to help pay for medical expenses, spaying/neutering, and daily care.

Rescuing a dog usually costs between $300-$1000. As you can tell, we are not into rescuing to make money; we are saving dogs' lives.

what you can expect

As we get applications for adoption we generally follow this process (although, not always in this order):

Receive application
Contact Veterinarian for Reference (Please contact your vet and give permission to Project Hope Animal Rescue calling in for a reference check)
Contact Applicant
Have a home visit
Have a meet-and-greet with your whole family to meet the dog

Here is where communication can be missed.... if there is more than one applicant that is applying for a particular dog, we try to set meet and greets in the order in which the applicants seem best fit for that particular dog.

This does NOT mean that the first meet and greet will be the adopter--if it is not a good fit with that rescue dog, we move to the next on the list. We HAVE to focus on what is best for the dog, or they are no better off than they were before rescue. This is not always comfortable to hear, but please understand we only want what is best for the dog. If your application is approved, we already know you will make a great adopter..it may just be with a different dog. If you are the first meet and greet for a dog, you are NOT obligated to adopt either.

* If your meet and greet goes well and it's a fit, you may adopt on the spot, by completing the adoption contract and paying the adoption fee
**we follow up and offer help/support for transitioning rescue dogs into their new family

* If your meet and greet does not go well, your application and pre-approval still stands, and you go in the line up for the next rescue dog to meet and greet, and so on.
