Maxwell's Story

MOST HOME TYPE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ HIS STORY: Maxwell came to us from CA as a “retired breeder”. Maxwell is a soft-souled boy who loves attention, being nosey, treats and playing. He stayed with a foster in CA while waiting to come up on transport. When he arrived at her house, it took weeks for him to understand that he could come out of his crate, explore and be part of the household. When he finally gained his confidence to come out, she learned that he was food motivated, crate trained and house trained, He loves to play with toys, though can get crabby over his favorite toys. He was good with the other dogs, cats and kids as young as 8(younger have not been tested). So? Are you Maxwell’s human? MEET OUR “NON RESCUE LOUNGE” PUPS: All applications submitted for our pups that will NOT be available to meet at the “Rescue Lounge” will be contacted within 2-5 business days by a volunteer to schedule a time & place for a meet and greet. ADOPTION APPLICATION https://forms.gle/ozPsSXSUxhKhJ3uB8 ***CANADIAN ADOPTERS WELCOME*** Please make sure to answer each question honestly and with as much detail as you can provide. You can apply any time after the pup has been posted on FB and/or Instagram as available. IMPORTANT NOTE: We are not a “first come first serve” rescue! If multiple applications come in for one pup, we will compare them and choose the family we feel best fits that particular pup. So please put as much detail into your application as possible so that we can fairly choose the perfect family for our Pups.

We are busy folks and sometimes it takes a while to get to you and set up a meeting that works for everyone's schedule. Please come prepared to take the pup you're meeting home. This means cash, check or card in hand, license or ID, leash and collar/harness. *Please wait to apply until AFTER any vacations, commitments or schedule conflicts that will delay your ability to take the rescue pup home.

Your application may have been delayed or may not have come thru on our end or our response to your application was sent to an incorrect number due to “big thumbs”. (Yay! Human Error & Technology) We may have received multiple applications for the same pup you applied for, in which case we usually respond later in the evening or on Monday to let you know we had to make a tough choice. You may have applied prior to visiting the pup/s you selected on your application and we are awaiting a message via email/text/FB/Instagram to confirm you have visited the pup/s and which pup/s you are most interested in after your visit so we can consider your application complete. If you are under 21 yrs old and/or rent your home you must provide the requested documents (references if under 21 yrs old) , if we have not received these then we cannot consider your application complete until we have received them. If we do not believe our rescue is the right rescue for your adoption needs and/or if you are not approved for adoption: it is rare & is usually due to negative interactions with our volunteers and/or the Rescue Lounge Staff, or if there are needs or requirements specified by the applicant that we feel our rescue is not able to meet or if there are “Red Flags” on the application or with references.

Because We Care Rescue's Adoption Policy

****CANADIAN ADOPTERS**** are always welcome to apply and the adoption process is exactly the same as US citizens. Puppies/Dogs over 3 months old must have a rabies certificate to cross in to Canada with their new family, the rescue will supply this certificate at no extra cost. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **Potential adopters that are interested in one of the pups we have listed through PetFinder have a slightly different process for adoption than our other platforms. ** The adoption process for Potential Adopters via PetFinder for Because We Care Rescue: 1. Follow the link on PetFinder and send us a fully filled out and well thought out application. You can ignore the questions in the beginning referencing the Are You My Human? Rescue Lounge and select “PetFinder” where given the option. 2. If your application is approved you will be contacted via text (or phone call if preferred) within 3 days. If you have not received communication from us within 3 days, you are more than welcome to reach out via our Facebook page www.facebook.com/BecauseWeCareRescue/ this is the easiest way to contact us directly. **Please remember that we are just human and we are all volunteers, mid-week communications can be difficult as we do our best to evenly spread our time between family, paying jobs and rescue work.** 3. Once a potential adopter is approved the BWC Rescue volunteer contacting them will get them scheduled for a day/time at the Rescue Lounge. All meet and greets are done at the Are You My Human? Rescue Lounge in Bellingham WA. (Less social dogs or longer stay dogs can potentially have other options for where/when to conduct a meet and greet if our volunteers are available to do so.) 4. Every week we go through the applications and on Sundays we do our best to pick the best applicant for each available dog/puppy, please understand that sometimes our dogs/pups get multiple great applications which leaves us with a difficult Who for Who decision. So having an alternative choice is recommended and increases the chances of your family taking a rescue pup home that week. Adoptions are finalized on Sundays at 5pm at the Rescue Lounge, other arrangements can be made but again it is all dependent on the availability of our volunteers. 5. If your family is not chosen for the dog/puppy you applied for, your application will stay on file for up to 30 days so no need to reapply if there is a different available dog/puppy you are interested in in that time. Just reach out to the rescue via Facebook or the phone number you’ve been contacted by if there is another available dog/puppy you would like to meet. ***What to expect at your visit to the Are You My Human? Rescue Lounge?*** R U My Human? Rescue Lounge is a small business built around supporting rescues by offering a comfortable pressure free space easily accessible to the public for available rescue dogs/puppies to socialize with each other as well as potential adopters, it is also available to anyone just looking for some soft ears and wet noses to love on. Each session starts on the hour ( ie 11am, 12pm, 1pm etc), is 50 minutes long with up to 18 people (average session size is about 6-10 people) at a time in the space. The Host will be there to answer any questions about the dogs or process you may have, you can also reach out to the Because We Care Rescue Facebook page. Once you are inside the Lounge space there will be a variety of places to sit (or stand if that’s your preference) depending on the week there may be as few as 9 or as many as 20 available dogs/puppies in the space, this is not a “one on one” type meet and greet, however if you reach out to them the Host should be able to help facilitate a little “one on one time” with you and the dog/puppy you came to meet if you would like. Potential adopters who applied via PetFinder and were approved by BWC Rescue will not be required to pay to book a day/time at the R U My Human? Rescue Lounge, their visit will be free of charge. However if you and/or your family are interested in supporting a small business; all dog lovers from all walks of life are welcome to book a day/time at the Rescue Lounge regardless of interest in adopting or application status. **Walk-Ins are welcome but limited to available space. ** Are You My Human? Rescue Lounge 1307 Cornwall Ave Bellingham WA 98225 Business Hours: Thursday… 12pm-5pm Friday……… 12pm-6pm Saturday…. 11am-6pm Sunday…… 11am-5pm
