Frequently Asked Questions About Our Adoption Process

Do you have hours to come visit animals?
Because many of our animals are in foster homes, we show our available animals by appointment only. Once you submit an application a staff member or volunteer will call you to set up a time to meet.

Why Do I Have To Fill Out An Application Before meeting an Animal?
Our goal is to educate the community & help adopters find a match that fits their lifestyle. By filling out an application we can help you to choose your new 4 legged friend. Even if you do not know what animal you are interested in you can still submit an application.

Why Do You Require Home Visits?
Do not stress out about having a home visit done. The reason most rescues require home visits is to insure you and your new family member have a stress free transition time. It is a good time to ask questions to prepare for your new friend. (where should i put a crate, what food i should feed, how ofter should he/she go out...)

Why is There An Adoption Fee For A Rescue Animal?
The adoption fee covers some of the cost for vetrinary care and other expences while the animal is in our care. We try to keep our adoption fee as low as possible.

How Long Does The Adoption Process Take?
We do our best to make the adoption process go as quickly and smoothly as possible. Usually the process can take 1-2 weeks depending on where you live. Please remember the rescue is primarly made up of volunteers.

Do You Adopt Out Of State?
We primarly do adoptions in the tri state area (PA, DE, NJ), However you can still submit an application if you are in another area.

Please email us if you have other questions that are not on this page. A volunteer or staff member would be happy to assist you.
