Flip's Island Rescue & Sanctuary aka FIRS is a Washington State 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation. We are a foster based rescue that is 100% funded through adoption fees and donations.
Our mission at FIRS is to provide the highest level of compassion for the animals entrusted in our care; to measurably reduce companion animals' overpopulation and to take a leadership role in promoting humane values and education for the benefit of animals.

This typically takes 3 to 5 business days to let you know if you are a good fit. If you do not hear back from us within 5 business days, please contact us by emailing SAVE@FlipsIslandRescue.org or by texting (360) 320-5937.

5) Review vet records, sign adoption contract, pay adoption fee. Welcome home your new family member.
NOTE: There is no guarantee of adoption at any step in the process. We are a match making organization. We do not adopt first come first serve. Our priority is finding the right home for the cats and dogs in our rescue.
Once your adoption application is on file, you may use it for consideration of any adoptable animal in the rescue. A new application does not need to be completed.
