Application Status
APPICATION STATUS:
If you have submitted an adoption application and it has not been seven days, we ask that you please remain patient while we review your application. Our limited amount of volunteers receive numerous applications at a time and review each of them with a fine tooth comb. If you have submitted an adoption application and it has been seven days, please email us at info@upanimalrescue.org for more information regarding the status of your application.
If you have been denied, please first ensure that you are abiding by our adoption policies. Applicants not abiding by our adoption policies will result in an automatic denial. Next, please revisit the listing for the dog(s) you applied for. Each dog has different requirements and unless you are interested in another dog, if you do not meet these requirements you will be denied. If you still have questions regarding the denial of your application, please email us at info@upanimalrescue.org
Fostering
FOSTERING:
First, it starts with an application! Once we receive your application, we will give you a call or text and connect with you on the type of animal that would best suit your needs. We then will pair you with an animal that is a good fit and supply you with all supplies necessary to care for the animal. Once we begin getting applications, we will scan them for a basic check list of needs for the animal. We will send you 3-5 applications and if you think they are god, you will contact the best applicant(s) for a meet and greet. You will then pick your top candidate and our admin team handles the rest! Our fosters are the VOICE of our rescued paws.
Volunteering
VOLUNTEERING:
We are always looking to have extra hands on deck to help our rescue run smoothly! Volunteering can include helping out at events, transporting dogs, picking up donations, being apart of our admin team, and so much more! If you are interested in volunteering, please take our volunteer survey. If you are interested in being apart of our admin team, please submit a team help application. Applications are approved/denied based on our current need for assistance!
