FAQS:

  1. When can I expect to hear back on my adoption form?

    • Responses typically take 1-3 days. If you have not heard back please:

      • Check your spam folder first

      • Make sure you submitted the virtual home check component (pics/videos emailed to info@heartsforpawsrescue.com or coordinators@heartsforpawsrescue.com) Pics to include common space; where dog would sleep; front and back yards including outside area/fencing; current pets. Anything to help us get to know you better as dog guardians and understand the life your new BFF would lead.

  2. Do you guys accept owner surrenders? While we are not accepting owner surrenders at this time, we may be able to do courtesy postings for you to list your dog on our website. Please consider the following:

    • Many Shelters and Rescues are currently full or beyond capacity throughout California. Adoptions are fewer and there are limited volunteer fosters. Foster-based Rescues like ours do not have a facility to drop off the animals at. Our organization is composed of volunteers NOT professionals; Fosters are volunteers and members of the public, often with less skill sets than you have for your dog; many work full-time, or are also limited by rental restrictions, also do not have yards, also have other pets or children in the home.

    • Moving your dog to a shelter or foster IS traumatic and difficult for your dog. If you have EXHAUSTED EVERY OPTION and TRULY CANNOT keep your animal, the BEST OPTION FOR RE-HOMING YOUR ANIMAL IS THROUGH PRIVATE RE-HOMING (not surrendering to shelters or rescues). Why? THERE IS NO GUARANTEE FOR YOUR DOG WHEN THEY ENTER A SHELTER — if you “want a better home” for your dog than one you can provide, meting with potential adopters, going to their home and keeping up with them post-adoption is the only way to ensure your dog is placed in proper care.

THANK YOU!
