Adoption Process

Our adoption process is dynamic and is focused solely on meeting the needs of the dogs in our care and placing them with the best adopters possible. This may mean multiple meet and greets with humans and/or other dogs, home visit, a short trial period at the new home, special requirements, etc. depending on the dog's needs. 

​

We do NOT operate on a first-come first-serve basis, which means we match adopters based on the needs and temperament of the dog, and not who submitted their application first. Please understand that it is not guaranteed that you will be able to adopt a specific dog you’re interested in.

​

What you can expect from the typical adoption process

​

  • Submit an adoption application 

  • After we receive your application, we’ll contact you by email within 2 days

  • In-person visit at Jezzie's Place with rescue dog, everyone who lives in the home, and any other dog(s) that live in the home

  • If all goes well, we schedule a time for you to bring your new dog home (we typically do not do same day adoptions)

Support & Guidance Beyond Adoption

We remain committed to our rescue dogs and their adoptive families throughout the dog’s entire life. If there are any problems or concerns with their health or well-being, we are here to help. Adopters can always ask us for advice or guidance! 

 

If for any reason during your dog’s life you are unable to keep your dog, you must return your dog to Jezzie’s Place Rescue.
