That does not mean there is anything wrong with your application, just that that particular dog requires different needs. **If you apply for a certain dog, we will do our best to see if that particular pup is a good fit, but there are times when, for many different reasons, that it might not be a good match. Our number one goal is to be 100% committed to every dog we rescue. We never base our adoption process on who gets their application in first, instead we weigh all applications to find the best suited family for the pup's needs based on our assessments of our dogs. We consider factors in the home, including the ages of the children, ages of pets in the home and what type of other pets are in your home. The temperament and energy level of the dog are our most important consideration. **Our goal is to find the best match based on the Labs background and the familys needs. ** Lastly, you will sign our adoption contract and the adoption fee will be required upon your taking ownership of the pup. **We will then work with you to either pick up your new pup, or arrange transportation to get the pup to you. If we do not hear from you in this 24-48 hr time period, we will assume you have changed your mind, your application will be voided, and we will move on to other applicants. This is very important as the details of arranging transport of the rescued dog will need to be made, often times we have several people involved in this process and we need to plan around multiple schedules. You must then contact an NELR rep within this 24-48 hr timeframe if you do decide to adopt.
You then have 24-48 hrs to discuss it with your family. **Once approved to adopt a particular pup, we will contact you with the news. **We will discuss with you how the meet & greet went.
Most often you will need to drive to the area of the foster home, but if we can arrange transportation to you to meet the pup, we will do our best. **We will set up a meet & greet with any of the pups who match your family situation and who you are interested in. **We may ask to do a home check, which is always preferable if we have volunteers in your area, or we may ask for photos of your house and yard. **We will then conduct a phone interview with the applicant, check your references and check with your vet to confirm that your current pets are UTD on their vaccines. All of our dogs are housed in foster homes to help them de-stress and get used to a home environment while they await adoption, giving us the opportunity to understand their personalities and needs. We are a nonprofit organization - all adoption fees go towards the rescue, veterinary care, and transportation of these dogs in order to get them ready for their forever homes. If a dog is no longer listed it means they have an adoption pending. He’s your typical goofy, silly, young lab that will keep you smiling :D We’ll fill in more details and photos as he settles into his foster home…ĭoes Winston sound like the sweetheart for you? Fill out an adoption application today! Īll of our available adoptable dogs are on Facebook, Petfinder, and our website.
Introducing Winston! Winston and his friend (brother?), Murphy (not bonded), were left with elderly family members that were unable to care for two big, young labs, so they asked a local shelter for help – that shelter is sadly currently understaffed, so we were happy to help out some local rescue friends and take these two handsome fellas! Winston is used to home life potty training, dog beds, toys, etc, so we want to keep him in those comforts! He could use some leash work for pulling, but training will be a great way to bond with your new family member.
