Ruby's Story

FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED Oh, Sweet Ruby. My heart aches for you. You are so lovely and such a good girl. The lovely Ruby is a ~12 year old Pitbull who weighs ~45 pounds (just a little thing!). Ruby is still seeking her home after so long in rescue. She's a senior but has so much love left in her. She is amazing with all people (including kids!) but needs a home with no other animals. Please, please help us get her Home for the Holidays!!! Ruby is in our Senior and Special Needs (SAS) Pet Program which provides financial support to her adopters; read more about that below. Hi, my name is Ruby. I'm a girl of a certain age seeking a forever friend to spend the rest of my life with! I like to go on leisurely walks and maybe have picnics in the park or beach on nice days. But, snacks at home are great, too! I love going for rides in the car with the windows down so my ears can blow in the breeze. I like to relax together and snuggle at the end of a long day or all day is just fine, too!! I love being outside, as you can see from my beautiful picture in the flowers! I love meeting new people and get very excited when I get to make new friends! I have short red & white hair with some gray but I hear that gray is really hip these days! I'm not too picky about looks in my friend. If you would like to meet me, please contact KPAL and a date will be arranged! I think there is great potential for a connection!!! Love, Ruby From LittleRose Canine Services: Ruby is wonderful! She is happy and active, loves sunbathing and walks (as long as the weather is good; she likes to keep her feet dry). She loves to redecorate her bedding any chance she gets for the ultimate plush comfort. She still prefers to be the only dog for any persons attention, but she's gotten better at tolerating dogs in closer proximity. She loves to bounce and play with me any chance she gets and is ALWAYS so happy. Everyday is a good day for Ruby! And she never fails to bring a smile to everyone's face she meets! TO FOSTER RUBY: Foster homes love and care for the pets in rescue until adoption. Commitment times vary. While in foster, we provide supplies (kennel, leash, collar, etc.), food, and vet care. Our fosters supply the love until they are adopted. Our Foster Application can be found on https://kpalrescue.org/foster-volunteer/. Foster homes must be located in/around Kenai/Soldotna/Homer. TO ADOPT RUBY: KPAL Rescue dogs are vetted (spayed/neutered, vaccinated for Parvo/Distemper & Rabies, microchipped, etc.). Ruby is in our Senior and Special Needs (SAS) Pet Program, this means that her adoption fee ($350) can be credited towards the veterinary clinic of the adoptive family's choice for any future medical expenses (medications, surgeries, end-of-life, etc.) for her. There may also be additional funds available if needed (up to $650, for a total of $1000). Our adoption process is outlined on our website: www.kpalrescue.org/pet-adoption/, our Adoption Application can also be found on that website. Questions about our adoption process can be sent to kpaladoption@gmail.com. #kpalrescue

Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers Rescue's Adoption Policy

Kenai Peninsula Animal Lovers (KPAL) Rescue has a structured process in place to ensure our animals are adopted into safe homes that fit their unique needs and qualities. KPAL RESCUE CAN ONLY CONSIDER ALASKA RESIDENTS FOR ADOPTION. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ADOPTING, PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE ADOPTION LISTING. ALL PETS POSTED ARE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, WE WILL NOT BE RESPONDING TO EMAILS ASKING IF THE PETS ARE AVAILABLE. This process is outlined below. Please note that not all who apply will move to the next step in the process. There are no waivers to this process. KPAL Rescue is strictly ran by volunteers, we have no paid staff so please be patient as your application is processed. We do not adopt outside of Alaska and we do not ship our animals. Step #1: The Application! View our adoptable pets and complete the Adoption Application https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/24218/generic . Once submitted, this Adoption Application is sent automatically to our Adoption Coordinator at kpaladoption@gmail.com. If you are applying for a puppy/kitten, please note that you will not be applying for one baby in particular but rather for one in the litter (if applicable). We do not adopt out two puppies from the same litter due to the high risk of Littermate Syndrome. Step #2: The Background Check Zone! A background check is required to adopt from KPAL Rescue, this background check is completed by VeriScreen and costs the applicant $14. If you don’t want to complete a background check when adopting a new animal for your family, please consider adopting from your local Animal Shelter. Step #3: The Home Interview! You don’t have to be rich or live in a fancy house. You don’t have to have your house in tip-top shape for us – we are animal lovers, too, so don’t worry about your dog hair dust bunnies in the corner or that the kitty kicked litter out of its box and you haven’t swept it up yet – we get it! Our mission of these home interviews is to see the potential living quarters of the animal, have a face-to-face conversation, and to point out potential dangers for the animals (and ask you to fix them). A fence is not required for all adoptable animals (although it may be required in certain instances), but a containment plan is. What is also required is time: time to put into training, socializing, bonding with, and loving your new pet. We do understand you’re busy: you have a job, you have kids in sports and after school activities, and you volunteer, the list goes on; but we are looking for a place for these animals to be a part of the family. Step #4: The Selection Process! We are looking for the best opportunity for our animals to succeed in their new homes. Our animals are NOT first-come/first-served, we are looking for the BEST fit. The animals are our priority. We speak for the animals. We place them in homes that we would be comfortable leaving our own pets in. Every single dog, cat, turtle, etc. is imprinted on our hearts and we find the best loving homes for them. Just because you aren’t selected as the perfect home for one animal does not necessarily mean you won’t be a perfect fit for a different one! Step #5: The Adoption Finalization! If you are selected for the animal then the final step of the adoption process is to make it official. At this point you will meet with a KPAL Representative to sign the Adoption Contract and to pay the adoption fee for the animal (which is $350 for dogs, for example). Our animals are placed with a return clause, if you ever had to come to the decision that you could no longer keep your animal then it must be returned to KPAL Rescue. Our animals are also placed into homes with spay/neuter clauses; your new pet will come to you spayed/neutered or you will have to arrive to the appointment that is scheduled for you (and the adoption will be finalized after that surgery). Our puppies are spayed/neutered at 12 weeks old – besides medical, there are no exceptions to this policy (medical exceptions must be written by a Veterinarian). Our adoption fee is non-negotiable – many times the costs of the animal’s vet care, spay/neuter, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccinations exceed the cost of the adoption fee. If you have any questions in regards to adopting a KPAL animal, please contact us at kpaladoption@gmail.com. Thank you for considering to adopt from our organization! #kpalrescue
