Why should I adopt a dog?
When you adopt a rescue dog, you not only save a life, but you make space for other animals in need. Beyond the obvious gift of giving the dog a chance to live outside the walls of a shelter or rescue, you’ll have a life-long friend who will help you unwind at the end of a long day, will never judge you, and is always happy to see you!
Adoption Information
Learn About Adopting a Pet
How do I adopt a pet?
You can adopt your new pet through a shelter or rescue/adoption agency – like Easy’s! Your first step is to fill out the adoption form. After that you’ll be set up with an interview and we can arrange for you to meet potential pets.
Are there any adoption requirements?
You’ll be required to submit your adoption form along with a valid ID. There may be a home visit for an assessment, as well as a family meet-and-greet (including other animals in the home). Then, you pay an adoption fee that covers veterinary care and spay or neuter.
How do I avoid picking the wrong dog?
Don’t choose a pet just because of their looks. You should try to choose a dog that fits with your activity level and character. Also, you need to consider whether the pet will get along well with other pets or kids.
How do I prepare for my pet?
Be prepared to pay a fee as these fur babies have been vetted, and most of them have been spayed or neutered. Before you welcome your pet into your home, you should dog-proof your home and include a safe zone for them to adapt to their new surroundings. This can be stressful, so be patient. Have their food, water, and toys ready when they arrive.
Are pets for adoption healthy?
Animal shelters and rescues are typically healthy animals. We examine, bathe, vet, vaccinate, and spay or neuter our animals prior to adoption. They have food and water, and clean bedding and living quarters.
