Volunteering with A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue is a rewarding
way to help abandoned and stray cats and dogs in the
Ohio area. There are many different ways to volunteer
with A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue, and you can do so for
any amount of time. You can work directly with the
pets at adoption events, or as a foster home (permanent,
one time only, back up/vacation home, etc.). If you
want to help A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue without being directly
involved with the pets, you may be interested in becoming
a special events or committee volunteer. Whether you
have just an hour a month, or 40 hours a week to volunteer,
A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue will be able to accommodate
your schedule. Fill out an online application today!

The availability of foster homes is the single biggest
bottleneck in A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue's ability to rescue
pets. Please fill out a foster application if you
have the time and compassion; we would love to add
your home to our list of fosters!

Our mission at A.D.O.P.T. Pet Rescue is to rescue
abandoned, neglected, abused, or otherwise homeless
household animals, and place these animals into permanent,
stable, and caring homes. We also strive to promote
public awareness of the need to spay and neuter pets,
and hope to make pet owners more aware of the importance
of proper medical and nutritional care of their pets.
The members of A.D.O.P.T. are dedicated to this effort
because each of us knows that...ANIMALS DEPEND ON
PEOPLE, TOO!

An Adoption Event is an opportunity for you to see
some of the pets in our program, and possibly talk
to the pet's foster parent or assigned coordinator
to learn more about them. Adoption events are usually
held for a couple hours on a Saturday or Sunday, generally
at a local pet store that supports our organization
through donations of food and/or space.

First and foremost, you can expect to receive a healthy
pet; we pride ourselves on the excellent care we provide
our pets. In addition, you can expect someone willing
and able to counsel you through your decision. For
our animals being kept in foster homes, you will have
access to a foster parent that has intimate knowledge
of the abilities, qualities and even the limitations
of your potential new pet. We will work with you to
ensure that you are making the right decision for
yourself, your family and your new pet. We appreciate
your patience and understanding during the adoption
process. Please always remember that we have the pets'
best interests in mind and want to ensure that all
parties enjoy a smooth transition.
