Our Adoption Policies

Our goal is to place our animals into their loving forever homes. The information you provide on your application will assist us in determining the best pet for you and your lifestyle. Our adoption fees are only a portion of the animal's rescue and medical and preventative costs. We are a fully volunteer organization without any paid positions. Your adoption fee helps to provide continued veterinary care for the countless animals still awaiting their turn at finding a home. We appreciate your generosity!

Adoptable Animals

Policies and Requirements

Primary applicant must be 21 or older.
Any other cats or dogs in the home must be up to date on vaccines in order to receive an approved application.
Applications with incomplete information will not be processed.
After receiving your application, it will be processed for a veterinarian check (as applicable), a background check, a landlord check (as applicable) and personal reference checks (as deemed necessary).
You must have an approved application in order to be put in touch with an animal's foster family.
An approved application does not guarantee a certain cat or dog, and we do not guarantee adoption on the same day as a meet and greet.
All potential adopters are expected to complete at least one meet and greet. Certain animals may require more than one meet and greet depending on their specific needs. All residents of the home, including pets, are required to be at the meet and greet. We do not ship or deliver animals.
There will be a home visit for all adoptions. This may be done in-person or virtually, as determined by the foster family.
Rey of Hope Rescue strives to ensure the best possible matches between our animals and their forever homes. While we consider all applications carefully, we may, in some cases, decide that a particular adoption is not in the best interest of the pet or the applicant. Please understand that all adoption decisions are made with the utmost care and are final and confidential.
If you are going on vacation or moving, please apply AFTER YOU RETURN or when settled into your new home, unless you are applying for preapproval and/or are willing to wait.
Please make sure ALL individuals residing in your home are on board with adopting a pet BEFORE you apply. This includes roommates.
