Paws Up 4 Rescue

Adopters must be at least 21 years of age Due to past experiences, we no longer adopt young puppies to families with young toddlers. Paws Up 4 Rescue reserves the right to refuse the placement of any animal for any reason. The well-being and safety of the animals come first. Paws Up 4 Rescue requires that all dogs and cats adopted from our organization be treated as family members and thus dwell inside the home. The first step in our process is to complete either a Cat/Dog Adoption Application or Rat/Rabbit Adoption Application. The application is reviewed by our Adoption Committee for approval. A home visit may be required and can be scheduled after the application is accepted. A meeting between your current dogs and the dog you are hoping to adopt is mandatory. Vet references will be checked. All animals presently in your care must be either spayed or neutered. Proof of procedure may be requested. All animals currently in your care must be current on their vaccinations - proof will be required. *Some exceptions may apply such as advanced age or medical condition. All dogs currently in your care must be current on their heartworm preventative. If you are renting your home or are in a condo association, we will be checking to verify the pet policy. All members of the household must meet the pet before the application is considered complete and becomes active. In cases of dog adoption, all canine members of the household must also meet the potential new canine family member prior to adoption. Misrepresentations of the application will automatically disqualify you from adoption.
