Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, It is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead ADOPTION INFORMATION Thank you for being interested in adopting one of our animals. Before submitting your application we encourage you to read the following information: In regards to adopt one of our rescues, you must be at least 21 years old, financially capable and emotionally ready to take on the responsibility of an animal. Adopting a pet is not something to take lightly. Depending on breed and health, your chosen animal can live 10 to 15 years or longer. Dogs are social beings who form strong attachments. You have to be sure that you're ready for a long-term commitment and the financial responsibility (regular vet care, food, medications, emergency care, etc.) that come with owning a pet. In general we welcome out of state adoptions IF you are willing to travel to meet and pick up the animal you have chosen to adopt. However, for some animals we do require a home inspection which requires that the animal has to be adopted within a 50 miles radius of Statesboro. Once you are approved we can try helping you find professional rescue animal transport at your own expense. The approved adopter and future owner of the adopted animal, the person who will provide care and be responsible for the animal is the one who has to complete and submit the application. We do not allow the adoption of one of our animals as a surprise gifts to others. We need to be able to interview the future owner to verify that he actually wants to adopt the animal, the pet is a match and the adopter is willing and able to take on the responsibilities. You must be able and willing to welcome and include the adopted pet as a part of your family and spend the time and money required to keep your new family member happy and healthy. Most of our animals have been abused, neglected, sick and kept outside. We don't want our rescued animals living chained up or kenneled outside with limited human interaction. If you would like to adopt one of our wonderful animals please download and submit the adoption application. NOTE* Submitting an application does not guarantee that you will be able to adopt a dog from us. ADOPTION PROCESS The adoption process begins with filling out an submitting our adoption application. Then the applicant is interviewed and observed interacting with the pet of their choice. If all steps are approved, then fees are discussed. When fees are paid and appropriate paperwork signed and processed, the adoption is complete. All FEES ARE PAYABLE IN CASH OR BY CREDIT CARD (IF ARRANGED). *NOTE: We do NOT hold any animals unless the adoption process is completed and the adoption fee has been paid in full. ADOPTION FEE Adoption fees are required and non-refundable. Adoption fees vary according to the animal's breed, age, species, and/or the expenses involved. Typically the fee covers only a small portion of the vet expenses such is vet exam, fecal, worming, vaccination current to age, heart-worm test, heart-worm prevention, flea bath, flea prevention, grooming, food, spay or neuter laser surgery and any medical expenses, if needed, up to the day of the adoption. Some of our animals are also MICRO-CHIPPED,registration incl. as well, and come with a FREE 30 day Pet Health Insurance. We consider our Adoption Fees very reasonable considering all that has been done to the animal while in our care. The altering alone, at a full service vet, would cost approx. $100 to $150 and more! Micro-chipping is about $90 without registration. We try to do whatever it takes to insure you are adopting the healthiest animal possible. We certainly don't make money finding homes for abandoned animals. What money we might save, if any, on one animal is put towards another animal whose medical needs go way beyond our asked adoption fee. Some of our rescues nearly cost us $500 or more per animal, yet when that animal does find a home, we only request the regular donation fee. Please understand that your donation is not for ONE particular animal, but a donation to a non-profit organization that assists many animals in need. WE can only keep doing what we are doing IF we keep getting your donations and adoption fees. We have NO other funds available to keep us going! YOUR donation allows this rescue organization to continue to rescue animals in need You can reach us via Email: or call us 912-536-6893 |
