The decision to adopt a pet is an important one which we take very seriously. Before submitting your application please take a moment to read the information below and carefully complete the adoption application in its entirety.
The Requirements to adopt a pet from Saving Grace and Her Furry Friends Rescue:
The application is our way to determine if the pet you are interested in is right for your lifestyle and that you can meet the needs of the pet. We make the application comprehensive to cover all bases. Thank you for taking the time to undergo this process and your eagerness to adopt a pet from us. We really appreciate it and look forward to you joining the Saving Grace family.
If you are interested in adopting a puppy, please provide assurance that your puppy will not be left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. Young puppies frequently develop anxiety and it makes it more difficult to train and housebreak them when unattended for long periods of time. Further, a fenced backyard is preferred for large breed puppies or high energy dogs. Puppies are very active and need a place to run and burn off all that energy. They may also bark or howl a lot and can be noisy, so apartment living for a puppy is not recommended.
When we review your application, we make sure your lifestyle and living situation fits the needs of the pet you are applying for and if the pet will fit well into your life. It’s not a matter of it being good or bad, but doing our best to ensure every adoption is successful. We strive to create a positive adoption experience and understand that not adopting a pet can be disappointing.
If you live in a townhouse or apartment, a mature dog or one with lower energy levels may prove to be a better fit.
It just depends on the needs of the pet, your lifestyle and what you’re looking for by bringing in a furry friend into your life and home.
We prefer to adopt to the Southeast Florida area, we will make exceptions depending on the circumstances, but local adopters are given first consideration.

The applications are reviewed by our all-volunteer adoption application committee. It often takes several days to a week for the committee to fully review your application. Your patience is greatly appreciated.
Phone interviews are conducted with selected applicants. References are also checked including veterinary references.
Virtual home visits are conducted where we are able to learn more about your home and the living environment for your pet.
Approved Applicants are invited to schedule a Meet & Greet with the pet. These are generally held at the Foster’s home, however, potential Adopters and Fosters will mutually arrange the precise details.
Adoptions are completed with the Adoption Contract and payment of the adoption fee.
