Adopting a new pet is an exciting and lifelong commitment. Everything we do at Countryside Animal Rescue prepares our pets for a successful adoption and a healthy, happy relationship for you and your new family member.

We want your experience with us to run smoothly and

without any doubts.

Our goal is to place each of our Rescue dogs and puppies in the

best-fit home possible.

Here are tips to make that happen:

1.  Make sure your application is complete. We ask these questions           for a reason. If you leave questions unanswered, we cannot make a       reasonable decision on your request to adopt a dog. Each         

     question helps us get to know you and your family. A completed     

     application is a sign of commitment.

2.  Please provide correct information. Be prepared to show ID.

3.  We DO NOT ADOPT to anyone under 25 years of age.

4.  Please bring your current pet and your family to meet our dogs.

5.  We are open to the public on Saturday from 11am to 3pm.

     Tuesday – Friday – Please call to schedule an appointment to meet

     our dogs.

Adoption Process

   *  An  Adoption Application  must be completed.

  *  We may ask for proof of Landlord permission if you rent.

  *  Our Adoption Counselor will review your application, get 

      to know you, and determine which dog will be a perfect   

      match for your family.

  *  Adoption fees are paid when adoption is finalized.

  *  All adoption fees collected assist in the daily care and

      ongoing needs of our animals.​

​

  *  We offer a Foster 2 Adopt program for various situations. 

      For example, if you have another pet or children, we want

      to be sure everyone gets along. This two week program will

      give both you and your foster animal time to get to know 

      each other and see if it is a compatible match. We will be

      checking in with you after the first week, and are available

       for support through the entire process. At the culmination of the

       two weeks,  you may choose to adopt the dog and the foster fee 

       will be deducted from the adoption fee.​

  *  In some cases, we may allow you to take a dog home

      before they have been spayed or neutered. We expect that

      surgery as soon as it can be scheduled. A Spay/Neuter     

      Agreement must be signed when adoption is finalized.​​

  *  Our rescue operation is very small. We welcome the                  opportunity to schedule visits with you, especially if you are

      interested in adoption or volunteering with us (as a foster,

      at events, or onsite).  ​

  *  Our time is precious to us in caring for our animals. Please

      do your absolute best to honor the scheduled visit time,

      and try to limit the length of your visit.​

​  *  The health of our dogs is of the utmost importance. All

      known previous medical findings are disclosed to potential 

      adopters. We suggest scheduling an appointment with

      your veterinarian as soon as possible after the adoption to

      start a relationship between your new dog and your vet. 

      All of our dogs are adopted ‘as is’ and all future veterinary

      care is the responsibility of the adopter.​

  *  Please understand that all adoptions are first-come-first-

      served for qualified adopters, and that we are unable to

      hold dogs for potential adopters.
