About our Rescue!
Every attempt will be made to find the owners of a rescued dog. If no owner is found after the required hold time 7 days (with ID) -10 days (without ID), we will begin vet treatments (to make sure they have Up to Date shots, spayed/neutered, Microchipped, etc), training and assessing his/her behavior. *RKR does not accept owner surrendered dogs, cats or any other animal. We are a limited admission, no kill shelter.* Please visit our "other resources" tab under the " Take Action" tab to see other local shelters/organizations who might be able to help you.
Adoption Process:
- Call to make sure we still have the pet you're interested in
- Fill out Adoption Form
- Bring ALL PETS that you already have in your household to the first Meet N Greet @ Rescue (DOGS AND CATS ONLY)
- Bring Adoption Form, Vet records, drivers license, & a few pieces of mail to show residency
- If all goes well at first Meet N Greet then we schedule a second meet at your home.
- At second meet we will be checking that your home is safe, clean, and equipped for a dog/cat. Also making sure that your front and back yard are safe. <---dogs only ( checking fences, making sure the yard is clean,etc)
- If all goes well we will go back outside and do a walk to reunite your current pets to the potential new member on neutral ground
- Then we'll move inside and have the potential new member look around.
- *This will be your current pets choice and/or our choice if the new pet can stay or not. Not your choice.
- If your current pets accept the potential new member we will collect payment and hand over all records for that pet. We do require weekly updates and pictures (for the first few weeks to first month) of the new member to make sure they are adjusting well and to just keep updated on them.
The following is the preliminary step in adopting one of our canine orphans.
We don't mean to insult anyone or invade anyone's privacy, but judging from experience, these questions are necessary. If you choose not to answer any one of the following questions, please feel free to ask us about it and we will be more than happy to explain the necessity of that particular question.
The following will give you an idea of what we expect in our potential adopters.
1. For your adoption fee, the dog will be spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, micro-chipped.
2. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered. DO NOT ASK US FOR AN UN-ALTERED DOG!
3. If you do have an existing dog, you will be asked to bring him/her up to our facility to meet your potential new adopted dog.
4. If you live in an apartment, condo, townhouse or home owners association complex, verify with the management that you are allowed to have a PIT BULL AND NOT JUST ANY TYPE OF DOG. Many insurance companies are now denying home owners' insurance companies to rent to people with this breed of dog.
