New2U Rescues's Adoption Policy
About Our Adoption Process We are a foster‑based rescue — we do not have a shelter. All of our dogs live in loving foster homes so we can truly understand their needs, personalities, and what type of home will set them up for a lifetime of success. Our goal is always to make the best match between adopter and dog so they never have to be rehomed again. We reserve the right to decline an adoption if we feel it is not the right fit for the dog. No meet‑and‑greets will be scheduled without an approved application. Adoption Application: https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplication Location & Adoption Radius We are based in Rochester, NY and primarily adopt to homes in this area because: -A home visit is required before any adoption -A meet‑and‑greet with the family and existing pets is required These steps are easier and more realistic for local adopters We may consider homes a few hours outside the area if all requirements are met and the match appears exceptional, but local applicants are always prioritized. Fencing Requirements Some of our dogs require a physical fence already in place at the time of adoption. We do not accept invisible fencing and do not allow the use of e‑collars or shock‑based training tools. This is written into our adoption contract. We do allow case‑by‑case exceptions for: -Active families -Homes where someone is home more often -Homes without multiple dogs -Families willing to install a zip line or similar safe containment option -Small breeds and mellow adult dogs may not require fencing. Veterinary Requirements If your current pets are not up‑to‑date on vet care, including being spayed/neutered, we cannot approve your application. This is non‑negotiable and will be verified with your veterinarian. We also require that you use preventative for Heartworms as it is far more common in area. If you have an unaltered pet because you intend to breed, your application will be denied. Application Process & Communication If your application successfully submits, you will receive a copy by email. If you did not receive one, neither did we — please check your spam/junk folder. We often receive multiple excellent applications for the same dog. Only one home can be chosen, and sometimes a wonderful applicant simply isn’t the right match for that particular dog. We keep applications on file for 6 months. If you’ve already applied, you may email us at new2urescue@gmail.com with the dog’s name — no need to reapply. About Our Dogs We are a 501(c)(3) registered charity and are also registered with the NY State Department of Agriculture (Reg. No. 33). All dogs are: -Microchipped -Fully vetted with age‑appropriate vaccines -Dewormed and treated for any medical issues -Spayed/neutered (In some cases a special contract is used if not yet spayed/neutered finalizing once completed) -Heartworm tested if age‑appropriate -Senior dogs often receive a dental at the time of spay/neuter -Treated for any other issues required to be healthy as noted by our vet. We disclose all known medical or behavioral information. Our goal is transparency so each dog finds a home for life. Breed and age are often our best educated guess based on information provided when the dog enters rescue. Our Philosophy Our priority is always the well‑being of the dog. We want every dog to find a home where they will be loved, understood, and safe for the rest of their life. The more information you provide on your application, the better we can determine whether a dog may be the right match. One‑word answers make it difficult to assess suitability — thoughtful detail helps us help you. 📌 Application: https://www.cognitoforms.com/New2URescues/AdoptionApplicationNew2URescue
