In Home Adoptions

Our Process

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 pageDogs 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!

Alister

Hi friends! I’m Alister and I’m 3.5 years old. I'm listed as a retriever mix - but most people think I have a good portion of Rhodesian Ridgeback in me. I’m full grown, about 80 pounds, and I’m a pretty tall boy - which puts me at the perfect height for convenient head pats!
I am looking for my forever home! I’m such a lover boy, protective and loyal. I'm also the sweetest cuddle pup! 

I’m potty trained and kennel trained. I’m good with dog-savvy cats and I am friends to all dogs!
Humans I’m more cautious with, it might take me a little bit to open up but when I do, I’ll be your best cuddly companion! I’m super protective of my family, which means I’ll need patience while I’m learning that I don’t have to be nervous! A good example of my protectiveness is the vacuum. I hate the vacuum. I’m terrified of it, actually. But I will stand right there by your side while you battle it. No one should face vacuums alone.

I love play time with my fur siblings, but I’m just as happy to hang out with a toy or bone. Balls are my favorite and I love fetch!  If I sound like the perfect boy for you, apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication
