Healing Hearts Rescue

Once approved for a particular dog, we will connect you with the foster parent so you can set up a meet and greet. Many of our adopters meet dogs at adoption events or schedule private meeting with the foster parent. Depending on the situation you might also bring your resident dog along as well.If all goes well with the meeting, the next step is to complete your home visit and reference check. We will have a volunteer contact you to set up a date that works for your family. The home visit is a check to make sure you are ready to welcome your new pup home as well as go over our adoption guide and point out any potential hazards such as gaps in your fence or go over leash walking safety.Once all steps are completed, the adoption can take place by signing the contract and paying the adoption fee. Adoption fees can be paid through Zeffy with a credit/debit card or with cash. New adopters should come prepared with a martingale collar, harness and two leashes to the adoption so they can be properly fitted by one of our volunteers for optimal dog safety.
