Cat Adoption Application Dog Adoption Application

What you need to know before adopting a rescue dog or cat from Allie's Haven Animal Rescue

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Allie’s Haven Animal Rescue! When we receive and review your application, we will contact your veterinarian, landlord, references, and conduct a home visit. Our dogs and cats landing their paws in the amazing forever home is our priority, so we're hopeful you understand that this process can take a bit of time, typically 1 to 2 weeks. Making sure your application is filled out completely, with phone numbers and addresses, is the best way to speed up this process. We thank you in advance for your patience.

Allie's Haven Animal Rescue is committed to the dogs and cats we accept into our program. We want our adopters to be prepared and committed to the animal they adopt to minimize the chance of an adoption return. Our dogs come from various situations such as high-kill shelters, strays, and occasionally owner-surrendered to our rescue.

Before submitting your application please read these considerations:

  • If any animal is adopted out before all vetting has been completed, you must take the adopted puppy/kitten to one of our approved veterinary partners in order for the rescue to cover the expenses. If you choose to go to your own personal vet, you are responsible for the costs but are still required to send the rescue proof of compliance upon completion.
  • Please be aware that the dog or cat of interest may already be meeting other families. In the case of puppies, we typically have a waitlist and after being approved, you will be placed on the list in the order your application was submitted.
  • We do NOT do onsite adoptions at our events. We hold events so you can come out and meet our dogs and for awareness of our organization.
  • Our goal is to place our animals in their forever home. Even though they may be appealing in pictures, they may not necessarily match the temperament for your family including other pets.
  • Our adoption fee covers all identified medical needs during the time in rescue including microchip, core vaccinations, and other necessary treatments.
  • You must be at least 25 years old to adopt with the understanding that exceptions can be made upon completion of our screening process.
  • We do permit adoptions to families that live in apartments, condos, or townhomes; however, the dog/cat must be the best fit for this environment.
  • Must have a secure fence and be an appropriate height for the dogs needs.  Of course we take into consideration if in an apartment, condo etc.
  • Existing and recent pets in your home must be current on vaccines, heartworm preventation, spayed/neutered and have consistent veterinary care. 
  • You must be willing to work with a professional positive reinforcement trainer or behaviorist if necessary.  We do have great resources as needed for training, educational opportunities.
  • We prefer adoptions be in Texas but will approve out of state/area adoptions if specific criteri is met (virtual home visit, adopter to pay for transport to them as well as our adoption fee and the health certificate.  If the adoption doesn't work out then adopter pays to transport pet back to our rescue, all vetting on the adopted pet must be completed before transport including vaccines, microchip, exam, spay/neuter.
