Adoption InformationA rescue dog is most often found in a shelter or humane society. On occasion, AWSRI may receive information about a neglected or abused dog in a private home. While AWSRI has no authority to remove a dog from a home, we will collaborate with local authorities when possible. We will also contact the private owner to assist them with the care of their pet. Rescue tries to gather as much information as possible before bringing a dog into rescue. These questions also aid in placing the dog in the proper foster home. AWSRI also will accept owner surrender dogs who meet the stated criteria.Adoption ApplicationAvailable in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) (requires Adobe Reader) and in Microsoft Word format Adoption FeesThe adoption fee is $250.
