Please note that our adoption process is very strict and all of the stated requirements must be met. The 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. This means you have to have had an animal in your care - one that YOU were responsible for. Many 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. WE DO NOT ADOPT TO FIRST TIME PET OWNERS OR TO HOMES THAT CAN NOT PROVIDE THE REQUIRED VETERINARY REFERENCE. 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.

Only 2 years old, Bayou was in terminal liver failure due to untreated lyme disease. Read his story on our site - The Swamp Boys
|
|
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. |

Tater
Hit by a car, poor tater suffered horrible, painful injuries. Thanks to JATR he got the surgeries he needed to heal.
|
|
We reserve the right to deny an adoption to any home for any reason |
|
An adoption donation is mandatory. |
|
You must be at least 25 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 that 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. |

Ella
Sweet and loving, Ella was found abandoned in a park.

|
Our adoption donation amounts are subject to change depending on the dog and/or situation. |
|
Our adoption donation amounts vary based on many factors, but usually range from $300 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. However, in some cases (dogs with special needs, seniors, etc.) we may lower adoption donation amounts. All of our funding comes from donations. |
