| Adoption Process HI, i have been thinking about adding to our yorkie family and would really love to do another rescue. Does anyone know about this place. the last place i rescued from was in pretty bad condition and then the lady kept changing the adoption price. in addition to when i was able to see my Sophie 3 days after i originally talked to her she thought she was prego (never mentioned this on the phone)...and when i really had to decide if i wanted to deal w/ a new dog and a new litter she took her to another rescue....see how frustrating the situation was (however i did get her & she wasn't prego). so i am now a little wary of rescues after my heartache from the first time even if it did turn out well. i would like to know what the conditions are for adoption and what sort of fees do they apply. also will the pup be neutered/spayed before being brought home. this is actuall a great location for me as kokomo is only 75 miles away, but i would really like a tad more info. thanks |

As for the puppies that are listed above, I personally have no experience with the rescue and help the OPer to post a link that she was not able to do herself. Although all rescue have different requirements to adopt their pups, there are a few things that are basic to any good and legitimate rescue. 1. Vet check 2. Home visit and inspections 3. Adoption interview and meeting the pups 4. Spay/neuter all dogs prior to adoption (some might allow a puppy to go to to a new home with a spay/neuter contract but most will not) 5. 501c3 certified 6. Usually have a set adoption scale for all rescues which includes vetting to ensure they are health and spayed/neutered. If the "rescue" does not follow these basic rules IMO you should RUN in the opposite direction. Here are a few red flags to look for in addition to adding a NO in front of all of the above for legitimate rescue. 1. Lots of puppies available all the time 2. Store front "adoption"centers 3. Meeting large groups of adopters in parking lots to complete adoptions 4. Dogs are not fully vetting, vaccinated and altered or come with parasites Please be very careful who you are dealing with because the millers are getting more shady in their tactics to unload their unwanted "stock". With the economy in such bad shape they are desperate to make a dime from the growing rescue movement. If you need any help please just ask and we are more than willing to offer help if you are concerned about the legitimacy of a rescue. But if you follow the list above you should be able to weed out the shady ones and steer yourself to the reputable ones. Welcome to YT!

| Well, this place had only dogs 2 yrs and up...so i really didn't think anything about it......everything was so crazy at the time. however i will not be going back. and of course after 2 hours of thinking about her i called back and said i would pick her up that day. but she was already gone. so i got the number of the place she had been taken too and this lady had already gotten her a vet appt to be spayed (you see sophie was a puppymill dog, used only for breeding and b/c she weighs 7 lbs, they said she was too big) (grrr). but she is now my baby and while it wasn't a fun or easy process I am SOOOOO happy to have her!!! so now you may understand why i am being so cautious....i really do not want to go thru anything like this again. and thanks for the info on rescues..i am completely new to this! so if any one has the info i requested about this place in kokomo all info is greatly appreciated!!!! |

| I was uncomfortable with this "rescue" as they do not give any information what so ever. No location, no website, no costs...just the application which I think is strange compared to the other reputable rescue's. They might be on the up and up but I wouldn't jump in without doing more digging.

| My daughter adopted her medium size mixed breed from this rescue. She said that they were very picky about her application .... I personally didn't go when she picked Molly up, but I think she would have said something if it was a nasty place.
