Three things keep this rescue running

Adopters, foster homes, volunteers, and donors help Ballweg Rescue keep animals moving toward safe, lasting placements.

01

Adopt

Browse current animals, review the rescue’s process, and submit an application when you find a possible match.

The process

How adoption actually works here

The exact checks depend on the rescue’s current policy and the animal. Here is the general sequence from application to placement.

  1. 01

    Apply

    Fill out the application for the animal you are interested in — or leave it open and let us suggest matches.

  2. 02

    References

    The team reviews your information and completes any veterinary, landlord, or personal-reference checks its policy requires.

  3. 03

    Meet and greet

    Once the application clears, you meet the animal — with your own dog too, if that matters for the match.

  4. 04

    Home visit

    The team completes any final checks, paperwork, and payment steps before confirming the placement.

One safety note: Use only payment links or instructions published by or confirmed with the rescue. If anyone claiming to be us asks you to send money another way, stop and email adoptions@ballwegrescue.example.
