For Good Rescue's Adoption Policy
Ready to add a family member? For Good rescue is an all volunteer group of people dedicated to making sure we do right by each and every animal we bring in!! To ensure the best match for both the animal and the adopter, our team takes time to get to know each applicant. We start with a conversation — because we know you are more than answers on a form! After that, we contact personal references, review veterinary history, and complete a home check. This process helps us make thoughtful, forever-focused placements. Once the initial screening is completed, we will arrange a meet-and-greet with the entire family — two-legged and four-legged members included — to make sure it’s a great match for everyone. If you’re interested in one of our dogs — or would like help finding the perfect match — please submit an application. Thank you for supporting rescue and choosing to adopt. Together, we are changing lives for good.
