Peace Creek Animal Sanctuary & Rescue Adoption Application

All adoptions take place at the rescue. We are located near Badger, IA are you willing and able to make the drive and have time to visit in a timely manner??*

The 3 Days, 3 Weeks, 3 Month Rule
In the first 3 days,
your new dog will be overwhelmed with his new surroundings. He will not be comfortable enough to be himself. Don’t be alarmed if he doesn’t want to eat for the first couple of days, many dogs don’t eat when they are stressed. He may shut down and want to curl up in his crate or under the table. He may be scared and unsure what is going on. Or he may be the opposite and test you to see what he can get away with, kind of like a teenager.
After 3 weeks,
he’s starting to settle in, feeling more comfortable, and realizing this really may be his forever home. He has figured out his environment and getting into the routine that you have set. He lets his guard down and may start showing his real personality. Behavior issues may start showing, this is your time to let him what is right and wrong.

After 3 months,
your dog is now comfortable in his home. You have built trust and a true bond with your dog, which gives him a complete sense of security with you. He is set in his routine and will come to expect his dinner at his usual time.

Adoption fees are non-refundable.
Adoption fees are spent on vet bills, regular bills, and food for our rescues. You are not buying a product - you are welcoming a life into your family.
My goal is to find families for these animals that can be as committed as I am to them. There are no perfect animals. They do not go into homes understanding what you want from them or how your schedule works. Adopting an animal means enjoying the highs of ownership and troubleshooting the lows. Adopting an animal is a commitment for life.
