adoptable dogs | adoption procedure | value of adoption






We have many wonderful pets available for adoption! Just look at our Petfinder.com listing above!

If you're interested in any of the pets listed, complete our on-line Adoption Application.

Since we do not operate a shelter, our pets are fostered in private homes.   To protect the safety of our Foster Parents and their families, an applicant MUST be approved prior to visiting a pet.   Thank you for understanding this policy.

If you'd like further information prior to completing the application, please send us an e-mail or give us a call at 920-449-5084.

Our application process is as follows:

Complete the on-line Adoption Application.

We do veterinarian and reference checks. To insure timely processing of your application please call your veterinarian giving permission to release your current/past pets medical information. Failure to do so impedes process. We also call to schedule a time for one of our volunteers to visit you and your family at your home.

Upon approval, we'll set up a time for you to come and meet the dog(s) at their foster homes or another agreed upon location. When there is a good match between you and a dog, we'll ask you to sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee (we accept cash or check).

The adoption fee helps to offset some of our expenses for the animal, and therefore varies depending on the needs of each dog.
Please feel free to inquire about the adoption fee for the dog you're interested in.

Sales tax is included in the adoption fee.

PLEASE NOTE: It is our policy to only adopt to homes where the cats and dogs currently living there are spayed / neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations.
APPLICATIONS THAT DO NOT MEET THIS POLICY WILL BE REJECTED!

For your peace of mind please know... Furry Bottoms Rescue is committed to making sure the dog we adopt to you is well-cared for.
