Adoption Application

We are a small private rescue. We are staffed by non paid volunteers who work full time jobs. If interested in a particular animal, fill out the adoption application below. We accept applications until we find the best fit for the animal. We are a NO kill shelter and our animals are not placed until the best homes are found. They are safe and in no danger. See requirements below.

We wanted to reach out to everyone during these unprecedented times to provide some general information regarding the way that our rescue will operate and how we will handle things during this Covid-19 virus pandemic.

As far as adoptions, these will be handled on a case by case basis. The susceptibility of the foster home, as well as, the adopter must be taken into consideration. Many of our foster homes and or adopters may have underlying health issues or they may not feel comfortable leaving their house for an adoption. We have to respect our foster homes, our Home Visit volunteers and our adopters at this time while also respecting the boundaries this virus has placed upon us. We need to understand adoptions will be slower therefore possibly tying up foster homes for longer periods of time. We will do the absolute best that we can during this strenuous time.

Adoption Applications will not be considered without a vet reference for us to check how current and/or past pets have been cared for (No exceptions). Your vet reference must be a Vet that you have actually used the services of in the past for your pets. Answer all questions, if it does not apply to your situation, please put n/a. If your application is submitted without all questions answered and the captcha security area entered, the system will not send the application to Alcovy Pet Rescue. Adoption fees for dogs are $250 – $450 depending on the dog. Contact us for cat adoption fees.

Terms

If you are interested in adopting one of our pets featured on this site, please first submit an adoption application. We will do a basic screening and contact you afterwards to make further arrangements if you are approved. We reserve the right to refuse any application. Please understand that Alcovy Pet Rescue, Inc. is volunteer based and it may be several days before we are able to respond. We will not respond if the application is incomplete or does not include a vet reference. Most of our volunteers work full time jobs and are unable to provide the time to make the 100’s of requests to call that we get by email. Contacting us by email is the best method of contact: alcovypet@gmail.com

After completing the application we will contact your veterinary references to check on how you have cared for past/current pets. We do not consider applications that do not have a vet reference. We may also schedule a home visit to see your home and to see where the dog or cat will be living. This is not a quick process. Be patient. We want to ensure our pets are placed in appropriate homes and will never return to life on the streets or death row ever again.

You will be expected to sign a contract that covers what we expect from you as a responsible pet caretaker. We want what is best for our rescues and the best match for everyone involved. These animals have been through enough already and should be loved and cared for the rest of their lives. However, if any animal adopted from us begins to present problems or you have unexpected problems, we ALWAYS take them back into our rescue program. Adoption applications do not obligate you to adopt, but are a required first step prior to discussing/interviewing for/meeting a potential pet.

There is an adoption fee which helps cover the expense our rescue incurs while providing excellent vet care to all of our animals that come into our care and other expenses, including food, grooming if required, etc…
