Merlin’s FAQs

What is Bourbon County Rescue’s adoption process?

The first step in our process is to email us for an application. Once we have reviewed and pre-approved an application, we will contact you to arrange a meeting at our next Meet and Greet adoption event. Our events are held at Petco in Frederick, MD. Pets may be adopted that day. We will review medical records with you, you will sign a contract and pay the adoption fee. The fees help to cover the cost of getting our pets ready for adoption which includes age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm tests for dogs over 6 months, FeLV/FIV testing for cats, microchip, spay/neuter and anything else the pet needs. All proceeds are dedicated to caring for the animals in the rescue. Fees for individual animals are listed on their specific posts. Cash only. When contacting us, please be patient. We are 100% volunteer based!
