NBS Animal Rescue

The Adoption Process To adopt, you must complete their multi-step vetting process, which requires an in-person home visit. Because of this, they primarily focus on adopting to homes within Southeast Michigan and the Greater Metro Detroit area so their local volunteers can easily support the placement. Fill out the comprehensive online adoption application on their website. They will review your lifestyle, home environment, and veterinary history to see if the dog you are interested in is a good match. An NBS volunteer will conduct a physical home visit. This helps ensure your living space is safe for a small-breed dog or a pup with specific physical needs, and gives them a chance to answer any final questions in person. If everything is a perfect fit, you will finalize the adoption paperwork, pay the adoption fee, and receive the dog's complete veterinary care records. Mandatory Spay/Neuter: Every single dog or puppy is spayed or neutered before an adoption is finalized to help curb the homeless pet population. Mandatory Microchipping: All dogs are microchipped prior to leaving the rescue to give adoptive families peace of mind and ensure lost pets can be reunited quickly. Comprehensive Veterinary Care: Every dog receives a thorough physical wellness exam by a licensed veterinarian. They come completely up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines (like DHPP and Rabies), are de-wormed, tested for heartworm, and started on monthly preventatives. Full Disclosure: Adoptive families receive a comprehensive, transparent folder of the dog's veterinary history and an outline of what future medical care or specialized needs they might require.
