Wet Nose Dog Rescue

Adoption Application

If you are interested in adopting a puppy or dog please use the form below to apply.  You may also download a PDF version.

**Please note: If you rent or lease your home, you must provide a copy of your lease, or a letter from your landlord indicating that you are permitted to keep a dog on the premises along with any size restrictions.

**Please Note: We cannot review your application without a phone number for your veterinarian. If you have not used your vet in 2 years, they may not have records on you so please provide a personal and work reference instead. Some vets require permission to release information, if possible please check with your vet in advance to give permission if required. This helps speed the process of completing the application.

How to de determine the status of your application: To find out the status of your application, you may call 24 hours after submitting it to see where things stand.  We attempt to process the applications as quickly as possible.  It is much easier for you to call us because with the number of applications it is almost impossible to call everyone who has submitted an application.  Remember, Wet Nose Rescue is an all volunteer group and only one person handles the applications.  You can call 267-684-6187.

As part of the adoption process, you will be asked to sign a contract in which you agree to certain conditions including: maintaining regular veterinary care, any emergency care that could be needed and mandatory spay or neuter unless determined by a certified vet that it is unable to be done. If for any reason you are not able to keep the dog, it will be surrendered back to Wet Nose Rescue.

All dogs shall be given a comfortable living arrangement, fed and watered and never abused in any way, including negligence. If there is any violation, all rights of ownership shall be forfeited.

Donation Schedule: Dogs over the age of 6 months: $100.00 donation, along with a $50.00 deposit for spay/neuter, upon completion, with a vet certificate, the deposit will be returned unless you wish to donate it to the rescue organization.

Puppies under 6 months of age: $125.00 donation, along with $50.00 deposit for spay/neuter, upon completion, with a vet certificate, the deposit will be returned unless you wish to donate it to the rescue organization.

Any dog/puppy already spayed/neutered prior to adoption would require a $150.00 donation, proof will be provided to the adopting family.

***Please note that our mission is to help you find the right dog, this usually requires some time and patience. We will work hard to help you adopt a new companion but we need your cooperation and understanding to be successful.

Thank you for interest in rescue, every adoption truly does save a life!
