Bow Wows and Meows Pet Rescue
Our Mission
Our mission is to find the best possible homes for the animals in our care. We are a small rescue with its home based out of Seale, Alabama. We pull dogs and puppies from local kill shelters. We have them vetted, spayed or neutered, and fostered in a loving and nurturing home. When they are ready, our pets are privately transported to our satellite locations in New Jersey for adoption into loving homes.
Adoption Policy
Application: Step 1- All potential adopters are required to fill out an Adoption Questionnaire by copying this link onto your browser: https://form.jotform.com/60475571571156.
Once your application is verified and approved, a Bow Wows and Meows Pet Rescue representative will contact the applicant to schedule a home visit.
Please note if you already have a dog and are adopting another we do require a meet and greet. We want to make sure your existing pet loves your new family member as much as you do. Conducting meet and greets on neutral territory will make the introduction process that much easier. If you have cats at home, we will do our best to cat test for you but it is not always possible.
Out of State Adopters: We do adopt to out-of-state residents that live in NY, CT, PA. If you live outside New Jersey we will do our best to find a volunteer to conduct a home visit on our behalf. Please do not hesitate to submit an out of state application. You must come and meet the dog(s) in NJ that you are interested in adopting. You are responsible for driving your new family member home with you.
Bow Wows and Meows Pet Rescue does not conduct DNA tests on the dogs it adopts out. We use information provided by the shelters, veterinarians, and volunteers to give the best estimate to the dog’s breed(s) and future size. As a result, we cannot guarantee the exact breed(s) or future size of any dog in our care.
Our Adoption Contract must be completed prior to adoption
Our mission is to place every pup in a loving home we feel best fits the individual needs of each pup. Our animals do not have a say in where they go; since we speak for those who have no voice, we must do it well. Everyone who wants to adopt an animal from a shelter or rescue group is special because they open their homes to those in need. But, while we try to meet the needs of everyone, our clients are the animals. They have no one else. We appreciate your understanding.
