Paws for Life Animal Rescue
Our Mission
Paws for Life Animal Rescue, Inc. was born from a desire to help homeless pets local to the founders' home state of Connecticut. Our mission is to help ensure that homeless pets in Connecticut and the immediate surrounding states get a second chance at happiness in a new forever home. #AdoptLocal #RescuedInNewEngland
Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS
Our goal is to match the right pet with the right adopter. This means we approach each adoption opportunity in a unique way. One of our adoption specialists will meet (in person, or by phone) with you to learn about your "ideal pet." We take into consideration lifestyle, family dynamic, desired personality traits and an adopter's overall objective in bringing a new pet into their home and make recommendations on which of our pets may be a good fit.
ADOPTION SUPPORT
We understand that bringing a new pet into your home can be a little stressful. It can take time for a new animal to settle in, and you may have questions about behavior or routine. When we adopt out a pet to a new home, we are available to answer any questions that come up - and to support the new adopter with any special needs they may have related to in-home adjustment. Because our pets are fostered in private homes, we can let you know what's normal, what's not and how to address any initial challenges you may have.
FEES
Adoption fees vary by animal, and take into consideration age, breed and other characteristics. We strive to keep adoption fees reasonable and many of our animals receive veterinary care at costs that far exceed the adoption fee. Adoption fees are listed on each animal's description.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
All of our adoptables receive age-appropriate vaccines, are spayed/neutered (at age-appropriate time), have a microchip and are tested for species-specific diseases. They also go home with a certificate for one month of FREE pet insurance through Trupanion.
