Munchie's Place for Homeless Pets
Our Mission
Munchie's Place is a privately funded foster based Rescue run by volunteers. Our mission is to give homeless, neglected or special needs pets a chance at another life through rescue, rehabilitating and re-homing. We want to help educate and bring awareness to proper animal care, fostering and the importance of adopting in your community.
Adoption Policy
Our Adoption Process:
* Must be a WA state resident.
* Contact us under the pets "petfinder ad" to begin your inquiry.
* Once we've received your inquiry, you'll be asked to fill out our adoption application.
* You must be 18 years of age or older or have a parent/legal guardian apply to adopt.
* After submitting your application, we will review it and ask further questions, to make sure your home is ideal for the animal you're inquiring about today.
* If your application is fully approved, we will go over our arrangements with you for a home visit. Meetups happen after you're approved and not prior to applying. All animals are in foster homes, we do not have a physical location for viewing the animals.
Our Holding Policy:
* Holds will occur if a person meets our requirements in the written application part of the adoption process. Reminder that multiple people may inquire for the same animal, so whoever is approved first will get to secure a hold. Once they have secured a hold, a time frame will be given to them for the animal they're interested in during the second half of the adoption process. If a person fails to pass the full adoption process within the time frame given, their hold will expire and the next person can secure a hold. We only issue one hold per person and do not make exceptions.
Attention:
* We cannot do adoptions for OR, ID or Canada residents due to requirement of a CVI for traveling over state lines.
* We do not adopt out to Eastern WA residents at this time.
* We do not do adoptions to those living on collage campuses due to the collage campus pet policy and ESA policy in the state of Washington for rodents.
* We also will not adopt out to collage students choosing to leave their animals in their parent or guardians care while they're at collage.
What to do if you're not fully setup for an animal?
* We encourage you to be set up for an animal before inquiring. If you need more time to gather supplies, we ask for you to hold off on submitting your adoption application till you're fully ready.
What if I'm looking to surrender?
* As of Dec 2024, we are on a permanent hiatus for accepting hamsters/gerbils/mice surrenders. Our rescue is shifting back to cat fostering and will only accept cat surrenders moving forward.
* As of Dec 2024, we are not accepting new surrender intakes.
We respond via email whenever we have time!
* We are a small volunteer team, please be respectful when inquiring for an animal.
* If you're in a hurry to adopt, this is not the rescue for you. We want patience and understanding from our adopters, that we have lives outside of the rescue.
* Please note the process can take on average a week or less, depending on different factors.

WARNING: If you end up ghosting/flaking while inquiring or surrendering an animal, we will discard your application. Failure to inform us you've moved on or failure to inform us you no longer wish to surrender in a timely manor, will result in an automatic ban of future applications. This includes those who've backed out one too many times, people who lie in our application or people who've tried to get around a ban. Our time is valuable and an animal means commitment. Please note if you're rude/unreasonably mean to our volunteers, you will be banned.
