Wellington Animal Rescue provides emergency veterinary services to the county and area pound animals. When we care for these lost or abandoned animals, the healthy patients will return to the pound for adoption. Often the socialized but critically ill or injured animals are rescued by Wellington Animal Rescue where they receive medical care and are nursed back to health. With these rescues, a grea
t deal of time and veterinary care is donated by our veterinarians, technicians, and support staff. We provide the medical attention that is required whether it be surgical, intensive care, or rehabilitation. Our treatments and services are provided at cost to our rescues and many of our medications have been donated to help these animals. Our rescues will also be spayed or neutered, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm/tick disease tested (dogs), feline AIDS and leukemia virus tested (cats) and vaccinated by our Doctors before going up for adoption. Because the cost of these treatments and diagnostics can be hundreds of dollars, we rely on generous donations from the public to assist in our rescue mission. Once the rescued animal is in good health we find them a safe and loving forever home! Our Adoption policy:
Our main goal at Wellington Animal Rescue is to rehabilitate sick or injured dogs and cats and to place them in their forever home. As such, we require potential adoptees to fill out an adoption application so we can find the best suited home to each pet’s individual needs. We also allow a trial period in your home to be sure that the animal is the right fit for you! If the animal is not the right fit, they can be returned to our rescue and the adoption fee will be returned to you. Our adoption fee is 200$ for cats and 250$ for dogs which will then be put towards helping the next rescue animal. Most of our rescues will be spayed or neutered, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm/tick disease tested (dogs), feline aids and leukemia virus tested (cats), vaccinated, as well as any other medical/surgical care required. Fostering Animals:
Some of our rescues will greatly benefit from staying in a foster home so they can be better socialized and get used to a home environment. We require potential fosters to fill out an application for approval. The food and medications (if any) will be provided by the rescue. If you are interested in fostering rescue animals, please contact us.
