Our Mission

Rainbow Animal Rescue is a non-profit, all volunteer organization, established to rescue and place unwanted animals in qualified, loving homes. Through education, we seek to create an animal-friendly community in the Tidewater area.

Adoption Policy

ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS

1. Our adoptions are not first-come, first-served. Adoptions are based on what is best for the individual animal. Adoptions are $150.00 for dogs over 7 months and $175.00 for puppies 7 months and under, which includes all vaccinations, spay/neuter as required, and microchipping.
2. We do vet checks, reference checks, and home checks as well as background checks for pit bulls and pit mixes.
3. We do not have our own facility and must rely on a few fosters to keep the rescued animals until we can get them adopted.
4. Our animals are inside family members and are not to be left alone outside.
5. We try very hard to have the animals socialized so they can become loving family members.
6. Many of our animals have been abandoned, abused, etc. and must have families that will be patient and give the animal time to adjust.
7. Any animal that does not work out for whatever reason must be returned to a member of Rainbow Animal Rescue. They cannot be turned over to Animal Control, SPCA, etc.
8. If you want to complete an application, click on the Adoption Application link, save the file to your desktop, complete it, save it again, and send it to rainbowanimalrescue@cox.net as an e-mail attachment.
9. Please NO shock collars, invisible fences, prong collars, choke chains, and doggy doors.
10. Dogs cannot be left unattended in the yard.
11. Any other animals living with the family must be inside animals (i.e., cats).
12. All other animals must be neutered/spayed.
