Adoption & Foster Application

Apply Today

Congratulations

You’ve Decided to Save A Life!

Thank you for considering It Takes A Village Animal Rescue, Inc. It is people like you that make it possible for us to continue saving animals from high-kill shelters and irresponsible humans.

Please notify your veterinarian’s office that we will be calling for a reference, as some require your permission to speak to us. We will also perform a home visit. All who live in the house must be present for the home visit and signing of adoption contract.

The following requirements apply to all adoptions; you must:

Be at least 25 years of age, or 21 years old and own your own home. If you are married or have a significant other living in the house, they must be a co-applicant and on the application.
Provide legal ID showing your current address to verify age.
While it is our goal to find a home for each and every animal in our care, it is also our responsibility to ensure that each animal finds a home that is not only safe and loving, but is right for their particular temperament. Understand that ITAVAR reserves the right to deny any adoption for any reason.
You must have a crate for the dog, and continue to crate train after the adoption.

ADOPTION FEES

Our adoption fee is between $150-$400. Our dogs are fully vetted, spayed/neutered, micro chipped and up-to-date on vaccines (Unless they are under 6 months of age, then a $200 deposit is required and returned when puppy is spayed/neutered).

Our adoption fee covers only a small portion of the expenses of responsibly caring for our dogs.
