FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We don’t have a facility. All of the animals in our program are fostered in someone’s home, or occasionally in an area boarding facility we partner with. The animals stay in their foster home until adopted or leave on one of our life saving transports.

We are so excited you are interested in one of our animals! Please fill out our contact form here or send an e-mail to info@rockwallpets.com with the name of the pet you are interested in and any questions you have. Please include your e-mail and phone number so we can respond to you as soon as possible. The animal’s foster or a volunteer will respond to your e-mail just as quickly as they can. If both parties agree, a meet and greet can be setup to allow you to meet your new potential best friend. If it is a match made in heaven, we have a short contract for you to complete, pay the adoption fee and take home your new furry family member.

All animals being adopted from us are spayed or neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested (if over 6 months)and given bordetella. Read more here.

The groups and areas we usually take our dogs on transport tend to have lower numbers of animals in their shelters and communities, creating a demand for adoptable pets. By sending our fostered animals to these regions, we help meet the needs of their communities and increase the chances of successful adoptions. It’s a collaborative effort to ensure that every deserving animal finds a loving home, regardless of their geographical location. Together, we bridge the gap between supply and demand, making a positive impact on the lives of animals and the communities that eagerly welcome them.

WE'D LOVE TO HAVE YOU ON THE TEAM!
