We are Located in Washington State in the Pacific Northwest, One Hour North of Seattle. If you would like to donate to help our cause Please paypal at: PayPal.Me/RompinPaws Rompin Paws Rescue is a No-Kill companion animal rescue dedicated to helping pets in need and to help end the suffering caused by humans through overbreeding, abandonment and cruelty. Our goal is to save one animal at a time and give it the best care possible through proper vetting, spay/neuter, proper feeding and nutrition, training, love and compassion. Every animal is special. Our Volunteers and Fosters receive training in basic care, nutrition, training and medical emergencies so they have the tools they need to help an animal become adoptable and eventually find it's forever family. Our adopters are also given valuable information and support so they know they can count on us if the need should arise. I have seen the number of animals killed in U.S shelters drop over 44 years from 20 million adoptable pets per year to six million per year. We still have far to go and Rompin Paws Rescue is another step on that road to a NO-KILL Nation. Dog Adoption Guidelines Adopting a Dog requires a lot of work and is a commitment! Healthy dogs: As a rescue saving dogs from Starvation, Neglect and Emaciation, RPR focus's on feeding each rescue animal the healthiest dog food made of Human Grade ingredients to help them recover from their stress and starvation. We share this with our adopters and encourage them to keep their new pet on the same foods for optimal health and a long life. OUR REQUIREMENTS FOR DOG ADOPTION: 1) These dogs are not livestock dogs. They must be family pets that are allowed inside the home. 2) We give preference to applicants with prior small breed knowledge/ experiences. 3) Secure visible fencing required. 4) You must have plan in place to socialize your dog properly. 5) Please do NOT write us and ask if this dog is available. If it is posted, it is available. BUT, we may be working other applications that came in before yours. If so, by the time you are approved, the dog may not be available. 8) The FASTEST way to be considered for a dog is to fill out an application. If you write, it will delay your application and put you to the back of the line. All the persons processing applications are volunteers that have their own dogs, families and job responsibilities. We do our best to get applications done quickly but applications for adult dogs come before puppy applications. There is always someone that will want to adopt a puppy. Health: Our rescue dogs have been spayed, microchipped. All are current on DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies, and have been wormed and flea treated. Dogs must test negative for heartworm and Parvo before being listed for adoption. Adoption Fees Adoption fees range from$ 495.00- 650.00. The fees cover transport and medical such as certain vaccines, worming and parasite medications, and flea/tick control, health certificate and wellness exam, neuter, dental extractions and teeth cleaning and emergency life saving care. We bring dogs from up from California, so there are transportation costs for each dog. Then the dogs need to be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, groomed, and sometimes boarded if we can't place them in a foster, or set up at the adoption facility in Arlington, Also, we don't receive any grants so we rely solely on adoption fees and donations to fund all of our rescue efforts. Finally, we take on "Special Needs" dogs with high vet costs and pay for their procedures with 'leftover' funds from adoption fees for healthier dogs.
About Rompin Paws Rescue Rompin Paws Rescue is a licensed, non-profit organization specializing in rescuing moms to be, moms with puppies, puppies without moms, seniors, and other Death Row Dogs. We are located in Western Washington State. Our passion is to bring people and pets together. Countless dogs are without homes and in need of assistance. These are dogs who would make wonderful and faithful companions if only they could connect with the right person or family. We have made it our mission to help them do this. At the same time we hope to enrich the lives of those who adopt them. We strive to match our dog's needs and personality to the preferences and requirements of each potential adopter. We believe this is a crucial component of the process and will help ensure a life-long relationship. Our primary focus is on small mixed breeds, moms and puppies of small and large breeds, although we do occasionally take in larger dogs. We work collaboratively with shelters, other rescue groups, and individuals, both locally and in California.. RPR was established in April, 2015. We placed 400 dogs in our first year of operation in a small facility on Acreage in Arlington Washington. We have a few local fosters and seek to increase our foster base in order to save more lives Our Adoption Process... Since we have a small facility on gated acreage, we are unable to stay open to anyone who wishes to come visit. To facilitate successful adoptions we ask interested people and families to fill out an application for the dog or dogs they may be interested in. We screen the applications and then speak with the interested party by phone. If it looks like a good match can be made, we pre-approve the applicant and set an appointment for a meet and greet with the dogs at out facility or with the fosters who have the dogs in their care. We continue the interview in person and make sure the dog and family are a good match. To apply to adopt or Foster any Rompin Paws Rescue dog, please fill out our online application (use a computer as the application tends to get dropped on tablets and cell phones before you can complete it) using this link- http://rompinpawsrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/
