no longer wanted him,
just his DNA
Dogs we have shared our homes and
hearts with
Adopting a friend for life...

Please note that our adoption process is very strict and all of the stated requirements must
be met.  OUR ADOPTION PROCESS TAKES AN AVERAGE OF 4 WEEKS TO COMPLETE!!!


We REQUIRE verifiable veterinary references. We will not adopt
to any family or person who cannot provide a VET
REFERENCE.  At Just A Touch Rescue, we are dedicated to
finding the best forever homes for the animals in our care and ensuring that
their medical and emotional needs will always be met.  Most of our dogs
come from abusive and/or neglected pasts, and we do our best to ensure
they will have a home that will understand the special needs of these
animals.  Often, the only objective and impartial information we have in
order to make a good decision for the dogs and the applicants is a
veterinary reference.  

If renting your home, we require written permission from your landlord or a
copy of your lease, stating that pets are allowed.

A visit to your home prior to adoption is always a requirement.

We require a minimum of two references (other than your vet).

The application must be filled out completely.

All animals will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption, unless medical needs
prohibit. If an animal needs to be spayed/neutered after adoption, a
spay/neuter contract (with a refundable deposit) must be completed.

All animals will be adopted in the New England/Northeast area only (RI,
CT, MA, NH, VT, ME, NY, PA, NJ). Any transportation costs will be
covered by adopting families. WE DO NOT SHIP OUR DOGS.

We reserve the right to deny an adoption to any home for any reason.

An adoption donation is mandatory.

You must be at least 21 years old.

Special considerations will be made for families experienced with special
needs and abused animals.

Just a Touch Rescue is NOT a shelter. At this time, there is no facility you
can visit.

Just a Touch Rescue does everything in its power to discover and treat any
pre-existing medical conditions or illnesses, but cannot guarantee the health
of an individual animal, post adoption.

Our adoption donation amounts are subject to change depending on the
dog and/or situation.

application.

Our adoption donation amounts vary based on many factors, but usually
range from $400 to $500 for most of our dogs (CLICK HERE to see
why).   We do not make "deals," adopt dogs to the highest bidders, or
give discounts just because you are a great person.  We pay for medical
treatment, spaying, neutering, vaccinations, physicals, medications, and
emergency surgeries and procedures.  Sometimes we have to pay fees
just to get the dogs released to our care.   We do not make a profit, and
our funds are always tight and we are usually in the "red" with vet bills that
need to be paid.   In some cases (dogs with special needs, seniors, etc.)
we may lower adoption donation amounts.
