In Home Adoptions
At Rescue Rovers our goal is to match the right dog to the right family. We take 3 to 4 applications on each dog and speak to all of them by telephone. Meet and greets are set with each family that seems like a good fit. If none of those applicants work out, we move on to the next applications in the queue.
To start, fill out an application here. If you are interested in a specific dog please be sure to list him or her on your application!
Once your application has been submitted it will be reviewed by a member of our apps team. Someone will reach out to you within 48 hours to let you know the status of your application.
Your approved application will then be sent to the foster family of the dog(s) you’d like to meet. They will be in touch within 48 hours. The foster family will choose the adopter they think is the best fit – usually the dog tells them!
If you are not chosen please don’t be discouraged! Our process is designed to benefit both dogs and humans! Your application is good for 6 months and we are happy to help you find another dog to love. If you see a dog you’d like to meet you can call our main line at 435-565-4031 or email adopt@rescuerovers.org.
Event Adoptions
We have regular adoption events twice a month, as well as special events sporadically throughout the year. You can find our events advertised on our Facebook page. Dogs adopted at events are available to go home the same day*. Adoption events are a great way to meet multiple dogs and see who will be the best fit for your family. Foster parents are often on hand to ask questions of.
Apply online before the event to help your adoption go as smoothly as possible. Bring all members of your family – especially the furry ones! It helps us make sure your new dog is a good fit.
*we reserve the right to require an in-home meet and greet or deny applications.
Adoption Fee
Our adoption fee helps us insure that every dog adopted through Rescue Rovers is prepared for their forever home. We vaccinate, spay/neuter, and microchip all of our dogs. Adoption cost varies by age.
Here at Rescue Rovers we believe training is important for all dogs, so we offer a $50 reimbursement of your adoption fee for any dog under 8. Email your training certificate to training@rescuerovers.org. You save a little money and your puppy learns some valuable skills – everybody wins!

Rae
My name is Rae! I’m a 4.5-year-old, 40-pound lab mix with a gorgeous golden-red coat and a cute little mini-boxer look. Honestly, I’m probably a mix of all kinds of things — and that just makes me extra special! I’m a sweet, gentle girl who can be a little timid when I first meet new people. I’ve become so happy in my foster home, and with a little patience and time, I know I’ll learn to trust and love my forever family just as much. Once I feel safe with you, I’m incredibly affectionate and love being close to my people. I’m already potty trained and crate trained, so I’ve got some important life skills down! I enjoy going on walks, running around outside, playing in streams, and swimming whenever I get the chance. I also love wrestling and playing with my dog friends. I can do great off leash with my foster mom, but I’ll need time to build that same trust and reliability with a new family. At home, I’m calm and easygoing. One of my favorite things to do is sit by the front window. I don’t bark at anything — I’m perfectly happy just observing. Once we’ve bonded, I’m also an excellent snuggler and I happily curl up next to you to make sure you always have a loyal companion nearby. Because I can be shy at first, I’d love a family who understands that good relationships take a little time. A training class could be a great way for us to build confidence, trust, and an even stronger bond together. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful, affectionate girl who just needs a little patience before showing you her whole heart, Rae might be the one for you.
