Our Mission

"Saving a dog won't change the world, but surely, the world will be changed for that one dog."

This message greets everyone who visits my home—and it reflects the heart of everything I do.

There are over 200 million stray dogs worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. For many of these animals, life on the streets is painfully short and incredibly harsh—especially in countries where resources for animal welfare are limited or nonexistent.

My mission is simple but powerful:
To provide a safe, loving, and happy home for every dog in need.

Seeing families open their hearts to a rescued pup is deeply rewarding. The joy on their faces, and the transformation in a once-homeless dog, reminds me every day why this work matters. Every adoption means one more life saved, one more second chance, and one more dog who finally gets to live the life they deserve.

Together, we can make a difference—one dog at a time.

Adoption Policy

Our Foster-to-Adopt Process
At Nowruz Animal Rescue Group, we follow a foster-to-adopt process to ensure that each pet and family are a perfect match for one another. This approach allows both the dog and the adoptive family to adjust and bond before making a lifelong commitment.

Step 1: Application
Once a pet is listed for adoption, interested families are invited to fill out an online application form. This form includes:

Three personal references

The name of the veterinarian who will care for the pet

Step 2: Application Review & Phone Chat
After reviewing the application, we contact strong candidates for a phone interview. This gives us a chance to get to know the family better and answer any initial questions.

Step 3: Home Check
If the phone conversation goes well, we arrange a home check to ensure the living environment is safe and suitable for the specific pet.

Step 4: Meet & Greet
Next, we schedule a meet and greet with the dog and the family—either at the home or a secure, neutral location. One or two meetings may be arranged so everyone, especially the pet, has time to feel comfortable. During this time, we also complete reference checks.

Step 5: Foster-to-Adopt Trial
If the family decides to move forward, the dog begins a foster-to-adopt trial period. We deliver the pet to their new home along with essentials such as:

Collar and leash

Food and treats

Favorite toys

We encourage families to stay in touch throughout the transition. If you need support or guidance, we are just a phone call away.
