Thank you for considering adopting from Roll Over Animal Rescue. Please see the listed below to complete the adoption process.

We do our best to match our dogs up with the best home for their unique personality. This usually takes time. However, sometimes it does happen quite fast. That is the nature of rescue.

To be able to provide the best service to our rescue dogs and the people interested in adopting them, we rely solely on your generous donations. We spend a considerable amount of money to bring dogs up to date on vaccinations, spay/neuter and additional medical care as needed. Although every dog is with a ROAR foster for a minimum of two weeks, we cannot guarantee the health of a rescue dog. There are no guarantees when it comes to a pet’s health ... there is always the unexpected or unforeseen.

Owning a pet can be expensive and you must be prepared for the eventual aging of your pet. People who are not prepared to take care of their dog in its old age should not consider applying. We are looking for people who understand this is a commitment for the life of the animal....however long that may be.

Once you adopt a dog from ROAR, you are considered part of our extended family. Make no mistake, once the adoption is complete, the dog is yours……..although we do enjoy getting occasional updates and photos of the dog and his/her new family.

Again, thank you for your time and patience in completing our forms and we look forward to helping you find your companion for life!

STEPS

STEP 1:

 Adoption Application.

  – When you see a dog that you are interested in, please fill out our online
We ask many questions, all of which will help us decide whether you and the rescue dog you are interested in will be a good fit.

  - An adoption coordinator will call you and conduct an informal interview over
the phone to get to know you, review your application and talk more in detail about the dog you are interested in. If at this time you are still interested in the meeting the dog, your references will be checked.

  – Once your application is approved, we will contact you to make arrangements for a
visit with the dog. Please select a time when all decision makers, including current dogs, can visit together. We recommend that, before your appointment, you read our and the

  – Should the adoption counselor and the family feel that a good match has been made; the adoption can be completed at the time of your visit. While we make every effort to complete the adoptions as quickly as possible, please know that:

The adoption process is done using our online database. This registers the dog’s microchip to the adopter and initiates the health insurance policy. Documents that need to be signed include; the Adoption Contract, Medical History Report and Acknowledgment of Disclosures. In the case of puppy adoptions, a Spay/Neuter Agreement also needs to be signed. The adoption counselor will give over any other necessary paperwork and literature with you at this time.

  – Your adoption counselor will follow up with you to make sure you are enjoying your new family member and answer any questions you may have. Please know that, at any time in the future, ROAR will be available to help in any way we can.

  – Although this step is optional, ROAR would love to get the occasional note or photo letting
us know how your new companion is doing.
