    Our Adoption Process... The first step in the Adoption Process is to register on our website. Once you have registered, the system will generate and email you a password. Use your User Name and Password log in to the website. Once logged in, you can complete the Adoption Application for the animal in which you are interested. Animals that are listed for "Sponsorship" are not yet available for adoption. If you are interested in adopting an animal currently listed for Sponsorship, please wait for the animal's status to change to "Available" to submit an application. You are welcome to sponsor the animal, but Sponsorship does not necessarily guarantee approval to adopt. Every application is assigned to and reviewed by an Adoption Counselor who will follow up with you. Depending on the volume of applications we receive for a particular animal, the response time may vary from one day to a couple weeks. Please understand that our Adoption Counselors are all volunteers who perform this service in addition to their regular jobs. We appreciate your patience. There is no need to complete a new application if you decide on a different animal - just send us an email. Not every application will be approved. However, we hope that you understand that every decision we make is with the animal's best interest in mind.

Adopting a dog in Fort Pierce

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
