Parvo/Distemper: • <16 weeks - Vaccinations start at 6-8 weeks and are done until the puppies are 16 weeks old. It is a series of 3-4 vaccines given 2-4 weeks (depends on vet recommendations). If the series is interrupted, it may have to be restarted. • >16 weeks - If the dog has no known prior vaccinations, they will need a series of 2 vaccines 2-4 weeks apart. If they have a prior vaccination, a yearly booster is given. Bordetella/Kennel Cough A one-time vaccine. Puppies should receive it between the ages of 6-8 weeks. Rabies: Given at 12- 14 weeks. It is typically done prior to transport in adults and will be done at the time of spay/neuter in younger dogs. If a dog is already fixed and does not have the vaccine, they should get a rabies vaccine prior to adoption. Leptosporosis: This is included in the 2nd and 3rd distemper/parvo vaccination we use: DHLPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptosporosis, Parvo, Parainfuenza,) for pups, the initial lepto vaccine is administered at 8 weeks of age or older and repeated 3-4 weeks later.

Heartworm: Given monthly either as part of the Nexguard Spectra or as an individual pill. Adopters are required to continue it for 1 full year after adoption (per the adoption contract) and then can decide to do it year round or seasonally per their vets recommendations. De-Worming: Fosters will receive dewormer upon arrival. It will either be a pill form given a series of 2-3 times a week apart, packets of panacur sprinkled on food 3 days in a row, or as part of the Nexguard Spectra.

To verify town limits, Call the Town Clerk and verify the dog limit for that address and make sure no complaints have been against the address. We do have a town and city limit form that you can reference quickly (printable below and table included. If the applicant is at their limit of dogs you do not need to process further; notify a leadership member and they will contact the applicant.

Yes, your dog is up to date on all age appropriate vaccines. If the dog is not spayed/neutered at the time of adoption, the procedure will be scheduled post adoption at one of our participating vets. After finalizing the adoption, any remaining or annual vaccinations as recommended by your veterinarian are your responsibility.

• Once you agree to foster a specific dog, you are committed to it. If a foster backs out, then the dog stays in the shelter so do not commit unless you are capable of caring for it. • Once you agree to foster a specific dog, you will be added to a facebook group chat with the transport date, time, and location where you will need to arrive to pick up your foster and transport them home. • If you are unable to pick up your foster at the agreed upon place and time, please contact a member of leadership as soon as you are aware to make alternate arrangements. • Supplies will be provided and able for pick up at transport. In the meantime, prepare a quiet and safe space for decompression.

We keep our adoption radius to within approximately a 60 minute drive from Buffalo. Keep in mind, one of our volunteers will come to your home to complete a home visit. Typically we can find a volunteer to travel to most places if the household has no other pets and is willing to come to the buffalo area for meetings with the dogs. Following that, we will have the foster of the dog you want to meet also come to your house if you currently have another dog for a meet and greet. For these reasons, we do have a limitation on how far we can adopt. We also do welfare checks on our adopted dogs from time to time to make sure that our application process is the best it can be and our rescues are ending up in happy homes. We may make exceptions on a case-by-case basis for those applicants that don’t currently have other dogs.

• The trip home and a new environment can be very stressful to your foster. Please give them a few days to become accustomed to their new home. • What this means is you should • Take the dog directly home from transport! • Consider the dog a flight risk whenever they are outside. No walks the first few days until you are sure they are good on a leash and won’t try to slip out of their collar/harness. • Keep visitors to a minimum • If children are in the home, supervise their interaction so they do not upset your foster • If other animals are in the home, do very slow introductions and supervise their interaction so they do not upset your foster • If your foster shows signs of stress (hiding, not eating, etc) allow them time to decompress. Give them a space of their own, leave them alone, and continue with your normal activities. Offer them food but don’t force them to eat. They will slowly learn to trust. • When you arrive home you may offer water and ½ of a day’s meal. The dogs aren’t fed on transport day at the shelter. • Should your foster begin vomiting, become lethargic, or have bloody diarrhea, please contact a board member IMMEDIATELY. • A foster dog should never be taken to a dog park.

Ask them to release permission to their vet if they haven't done so already. Call the vet and verify that their pets are: 1. UTD on Rabies and Distemper? Parvo for puppies? • Pets requiring rabies: cats, dogs, and ferrets 2. Current pets spayed or neutered? (If not, ask why and discuss with Leadership) 3. Past pets spayed or neutered? (If not, ask why, thoroughly explain our spay/neuter policy, and discuss with Leadership) 4. Any major health issues with the pet that should have been treated? 5. Have they come in regularly to tend to the needs of the pet? 6. Cats 1. Indoor cats, outdoor cats, barn cats (any friendly cat being fed/cared for) should be fixed and UTD on rabies 2. Feral cats being fed should be fixed or in the process of attempting to trap and fix at a minumum

Spay/Neuter is included in adoption and can be done at one of our 3 clinic locations. We try to get a dog spayed/neutered prior to adoption as much as possible. If adopted prior to the procedure, the date needs to be communicated to the adopter. If they cannot make the date chosen by the foster, the foster should assist the adopter with transporting the dog to the appointment. Our rescue currently uses 3 clinics: 1. Transit Animal Hospital – 6020 Transit Rd, Depew NY 14043 2. Operation Pets – 3443 South Park Ave, Buffalo NY 14219 3. Rochester Community Animal Clinic – 985 Bay St, Rochester NY 14609 Postop the dogs should be wearing a cone, limit activity, and do not bathe to ensure the incision heals well and with no infection. For more information reference the spay/neuter sheet in the folder contents within the foster references.

The personal references cannot be a family member or significant other. If they are, please contact the applicant and ask for new ones. Required Questions: 1. Can you tell me how you know the applicant and how long you have known them? 2. Ask about the applicant's pet ownership history. Do you know their current dogs or have you know their past dogs? Have the dogs seemed happy and healthy? 3. Would you trust the applicant to watch your own pets? 4. Have they ever given up an animal? If so, ask why? 5. How are their current pets with other dogs and/or kids? 6. Do you feel the applicant is financially able to care for dog? 7. Do you feel the applicants are capable and have enough time to give a new dog the training, grooming, socialization, exercise and playtime they need? 8. Do you support them adding another pet to their family?

The microchip will be inserted at the time of spay/neuter or by our medical team if the dog arrives already fixed. The adopters information will automatically register to the chip once the adoption is finalized.

Send a photo and bio to the appropriated leadership members a group message on Facebook Messenger (the appropriate leadership members will be listed in a post). • This will allow your foster to be posted as “ready for adoption”. • The cuter the picture, the better! This will help to promote your dog and attract potential adopters quicker. • The bio should include: • Name of your foster • Age or approximate date of birth • Approximate weight • Breed of your foster • If known, this will be found on their vaccination record • If breed is unknown, give it your best guess • Personality information including how your foster interacts with children, dogs, cats and other pets • If your foster was not exposed to children, dogs, cats and other pets, state that it is not known. • If your dog has specific needs in an adopters home, please discuss them with a leadership member ahead of time and explain the reason why. Restrictions must be listed in the bio.

Yes! We do, however, require a copy of your lease to confirm that you are able to have a dog in your home. We will also ask for your landlord's contact information. We will note any restrictions, such as size, weight, or breed. Our primary concern is for the well being of the dog, therefore we consider apartment and yard size in relation to the size/activity level of the dog you may be interested in.

We ask you to limit to three. • Your name will be given to the foster. The foster will contact interested applicants in the order of the names they receive. • If you would like to see multiple dogs at once, please go to an adoption event. We list the names of the dogs that will be there. If a dog will not be there, it could be that the foster was unable to attend or the dog has enough interest. • You have 24 hours to decide if you would like to adopt after the meet & greet • Application is good for 6 months • Adoption fee includes all age appropriate vaccines, spay/neuter, flea and tick treatment, heartworm tested for dogs older than 6 months, and microchip. • The foster will have all relevant information in regards to the dog including questions on personality and potty training progress. • You will need a collar, leash, and dog tag with your name and phone number in order to pick-up the dog or the foster bring the dog to you if you decide to adopt** • We try to spay/neuter dogs while in foster. However, if it has not been done, the foster will have already set up an appointment that we ask the adopter to keep. More information will be provided when finalizing adoption.

• Once a potential adopter has been approved and has expressed an interest in meeting your foster a member of leadership will send you their name, contact information, and approved application. • Please review the application before contacting the applicant so you have an understanding of their home. • If the family has other pets, the meet and greet must be set up at their home. If they have no other pets at home you may ask the applicant to meet you at the rescue office.

The reason rescues exsist is because there is an overpopulation of dogs. In addition to finding homes for all the homeless pets, we strive to help control the pet population by spaying/neutering dogs. Neutering your male dog will completely eliminate its risk of getting testicular cancer. Spaying your female dog eliminates the risk of developing pyometria, a severe infection of the uterus that can be fatal. It also greatly reduces the risk of mammary tumors. In general, pets that are spayed/neutered live longer, healthier lives and "accidents" do not happen.

Each section of the application (reference calls, vet check, and homevisit) MUST be noted in the application under the applicable section. If the applicant is approved, give the applicant an approval card. Any restrictions should be written on the card and documented in petstablished. Then update the status of the application to approved in the “Change Application Status” Section. If you believe the applicant should be denied, do not give them an approval card. Notify a member of the Board of Directors and they will send an email notifying them of the reason for denial and mark the applicant as denied in Petstablished. If an application is withdrawn for reasons such as no reply, adopted elsewhere, or changed mind, please “Archive” the application and note the reason.

• Prior to scheduling a meet and greet, send a photo of the yellow Important Vaccinations Needed ½ sheet and the white Vaccination Record sheet to a board member for approval. • Contact the adopter to set up the meet and greet. If they have not responded after 24hrs and attempting to reach them with at least 2 forms of communication (text, call, and/or email), let leadership know and they can send you the next name on the list. • Set up and conduct a meet and greet with the potential adopters for your foster. New fosters should contact the leadership team for someone to accompany them on their first meet and greet. Pay attention to how to fill out the contract and finalize for future fosters! • It is preferable the in person meeting be conducted in the prospective adopter’s home however it is not mandatory unless there are already pets in the home. In this case a meet & greet at the adopter’s house is necessary.

Once you have completed and submitted your application, a volunteer will contact your veterinarian and personal references. After that, the volunteer will contact you to set up a home visit. The home visit is to ensure your home is a safe environment for a dog. The volunteer will give a brief background of the rescue, review important adoption information and discuss with you your adoption goals. If the volunteer believes you are a fit dog parent, you will receive an approval card. Don't lose your approval card, as it is your "golden ticket" for adopting. Now that you are pre-approved, you can watch the website/Facebook page. When you see a dog you are interested in, you can either send a Facebook message or email to the rescue to be put on a list for the dog. The foster will then contact you when the dog is ready for a meet and greet.

• If there is another dog in the home, have the two dogs meet initially outside the home. They must both be leashed. Take them for a short walk together. Walk them into the yard together and, finally, if all goes well enter the home. • Assess how your foster is interacting with the other pets, humans, and the house itself. Keep in mind that this is once again a new environment so they may be scared and need time to warm up. • Some very scared and timid dogs may need more time than a typical meet and greet, if you think this is the case, please discuss your options with a board member ahead of time.

We focus ours efforts on pulling dogs from kill shelters in the south, where overcrowding forces euthanization of many wonderful dogs each week.

** You must inform a board member of you or your friend/family member's intent to adopt the dog prior to the dog being posted.** • If you are thinking about adopting your foster (foster fail) or have a friend/family member that is interested in adopting your foster, let a member of the leadership team know ASAP. You must notify someone prior to their bio being posted on facebook or the website. • If you are interested in adopting your foster, you will have 7 days to make a final decision. • If your friend/family is interested, have them fill out an application. The dog will not be posted and once approved, a meet and greet can be scheduled.

We are not a shelter. We are a foster-based rescue in the Buffalo area. Our dogs come up on transport from kill shelters in the South and go straight into foster homes. In their foster homes, they begin potty, crate and leash training. They are also socialized with other dogs, cats, kids and people depending on their foster home.

• Allow the dog to stay with their new family ONLY if they have a collar, leash, and ID tag with the adopter’s phone number. If they do not, the dog MAY NOT be left with them until they do. • Review the adoption contract in the folder content guide through the button above to make sure all boxed are filled out correctly!!!! • Once the contract is signed the adoption fee must be paid in cash, check, PayPal (friends & family), or Venmo. A credit card can be used if at the office, but there is a $10 service charge. • The Contract must be finalized in the same name that the application was submitted under • Adoption fees are as follows: • Puppies and Dogs up to 7 years of age - $375 • Dogs 7 years of age and older - $175 • Please inform the adopter that if they complete an obedience class and provide proof of completion, a $50 refund will be provided. • Adoption fees include: • Spaying/Neutering • Age appropriate vaccinations • Deworming • Flea/tick treatment • Heartworm test for dogs over 6 months of age • Microchip • Leash and collar • If the dog is not already spayed/neutered thoroughly review that bullet in the adoption contract.

• Health Concerns: The foster is required to notify a board member of all health concerns. A vet visit or a period of observation may be recommended. • Vet Visits: A foster must contact a board member for approval for all vet visits. If a foster does not get approval for the vet visit, the foster will be expected to cover the cost of the visit. If it is a life or death issue, ex: getting hit by a car, it is ok to go to the emergency vet; however, the foster should contact a board member ASAP.

You are always welcome to meet any of the dogs we have at events, however, we strongly encourage you to get pre-approved if it's definitely the right time to add to your family.

If you are having difficulty fostering a dog, remember that you committed to take them and are expected to see it through. Decompression and giving the dog time cannot be emphasized enough! If a foster is not able to continue fostering a dog in their care, it is their responsibility to inform the Board of Directors and then post the dog to the members page asking for a new foster. However, before finding a new foster, the current foster is expected to give adequate space and time for decompression, meaning a completely separate space by themselves, away from all humans and pets, and at least 48 hours.

You should be hearing from a volunteer within 3-5 business days. Check your messages and voicemail! If you do not hear from anyone, please message the Facebook page or send us an email.

We want to make sure the two dogs get along. Remember, relationships take time to build. Things may not be 100% perfect at the first meeting, but it's rare that dogs don't learn to get along. Dogs are pack animals and generally enjoy each other's company once they get to know each other.

The foster will ask you to bring your current dog(s) outside to the edge of your property to meet in a "neutral territory." A walk is encourged while you chat, just so the dogs are aware of each other's presence and get a general idea of scents. After the walk, you can let them sniff each other and even let them play together if you have a fenced yard. After a short while, the foster will take the new dog into your home to see how your dog tolerated the furry stranger. Again, relationships take time to build and dogs need time to find their place in the pack. A second meet and greet can be arranged if it's a dog you have your heart set on.
