Spay/Neuter Aid Please be a part of the solution to the thousands of homeless animals in our
area.
IHHSAR works in conjunction with the Margaret B. Mitchell Spay/Neuter Clinic located in
Bristol, VA. They provide spays and neuters at a low-cost fee and if you make appointments
through us the cost is even less. Transportation is provided to and from the clinic! Pick ups
are made monthly in Big Stone Gap, Norton, Coeburn, and Weber City.
The clinic will also provide any vaccinations that are needed at a very reasonable
cost....Rabies is mandatory, Parvo/Distemper is a must if we ever hope to irradicate these
diseases.
Who We Are
In His Hands
Small Animal Rescue
Mission Statement
To help reduce the number of at risk dogs in local shelters and help re-home unwanted companion
animals. We will accomplish this mission by working together as volunteers who value and respect
each other and their individual abilities they bring to the group.
Maintaining a database of available animals and prospective adopters.
Fostering all dogs brought into rescue.
Fully vetting all dogs brought into rescue.
Spaying or neutering all dogs brought into rescue.
Verifying all qualified applicants and related information prior to adoption.
Completing home visits or telephonic visits for all qualified applicants
We will network with other rescues to help achieve these goals.
Adopting a friend
If interested in adopting a dog, please email us at inhishandsdogrescue@yahoo.com
To be pre-approved for adoption go to http://www.justkiddinfarm.com/email.html
and fill out an application.
We do not have a facility and rely on foster homes. Foster homes are VERY important in the
rescue process, and most often a lack of foster homes is what prevents any rescue group from
taking additional animals. If you are interested in becoming foster family, please contact us at
inhishandsdogrescue@yahoo.com
Completing an adoption application is the first step if you are interested in adopting one of
our rescues. After you have submitted your application , we will contact you, as well as the
references you have listed in your applications.
A signed adoption contract is required at the time of final adoption. In this contract an
adopter must agree to take full resposibility of the dog's well-being and understand that they
are rescues and most come with issues that you must be willing to work with. Because we have no
way of predicting a dogs actions outside the foster environment, we cannot be responsible once
they are adopted. We WILL disclose everything about each of our dogs...good or bad. To be
pre-approved for adoption go to http://www.justkiddinfarm.com/email.html
For adoptions, in addition to the adoption contract, we request an adoption fee to cover
veterinary and other expenses incurred on behalf of the rescue animal. Our standard adoption fee
is $100-$200. We reserve the right to increase this fee for high demand or rare dogs in an
attempt to narrow down the field of potential adopters to those who seriously want such a dog
and are not simply looking for a "bargain." Although this may sound harsh, we can promise you
that we have had such inquiries about our dogs. On a more positive note, the additional fee that
is received on these high demand dogs will be used to help pay for some of the non-routine vet
work that is often required for our older dogs (for example, teeth cleaning, blood-work, tumor
removal, x-rays, and a multitude of other possible veterinary services). Since we get a large
number of older dogs, as compared to the occasional young, high demand dog, this will not, of
course, totally cover these additional expenses - but will at least help a little. We want to do
everything we can to continue to save the older dogs and those that need medical attention, and
unfortunately, funds are required to do this. We also want to try our hardest to do what we can
to increase an older dog's chances of finding a loving, forever home. As a result, we will never
RAISE an adoption fee for a dog just because it has required extensive vet work. Upon occasion
we will even reduce our adoption fee for a hard to place or very old dog. We hope that by doing
this that we can get someone to "take a chance" on one of these sweet, older guys, that still
have a lot of love to give!
Please note that any deviation from our normal adoption fee will be clearly stated in the
description for a particular dog.
We will not ship our dogs so please be willing to pick them up! We want you to meet your new
family member in an environment that it feels safe in. This way you truly "see what you are
getting".
Thanks for considering a rescue!
