Our Mission
ROOT | RESCUED OUT OF TRAUMA, INC is a nonprofit animal rescue organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, medically treating, and rehoming cats and dogs who have experienced trauma, neglect, abandonment, or are at risk of euthanasia. We are committed to addressing both the physical and emotional needs of each animal, providing compassionate, individualized care, and placing them into safe, loving, and permanent homes. Through rescue efforts, responsible adoption practices, and educational outreach, ROOT seeks to promote compassion for animals and strengthen the human–animal bond within the communities we serve.
Adoption Policy
Our Adoption Process
Application Review: Potential adopters submit an adoption application. We carefully review it to ensure the home can meet the needs of both the dog or cat and the family.
Virtual Meeting & Home Check: We set up a virtual meeting where we meet all family members who will interact with the new pet. During this step, we ask questions, review the home environment, and allow the family to meet the pet virtually.
In-Person Meet & Greet: We conduct an in-person visit with all family members and current pets (if any). This ensures the dog or cat is comfortable with the family, and that any existing pets are compatible with the new addition.
Final Decision & Placement: After assessing the interactions and overall fit, we make a final adoption decision. If approved, the new pet goes to their forever home.
