iRescue adoption application

INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED OR PROCESSED.

Read the pets biography completely. If it says the animal has certain needs and your home does not fit those requirements you will not be contacted nor will your application be processed.

iRescue reserves the right to deny any application without explanation. We do not place our pets on a first come, first serve basis. We place them in the home who we believe will best meet their individual needs. Meeting pets is set up by appointment only.

We do not have a facility, last minute attempts to drop in and see a pet as you pass through the state are not going to happen.

If your adoption does not work out, we require 2 weeks notice in writing via email in order to find a new foster home for the pet. We house the pets in our homes not a facility, we can only put so many in a home safely.

As much as we'd like to respond to every communication we receive, we do not always have the resources to do so. We are an all volunteer rescue run by people who have regular jobs and families, yet devote as much of their free time as they can spare to helping animals in need.
