Grey Face Rescue & Retirement

Grey Face Rescue & Retirement is a non-profit, foster-based senior dog rescue providing quality care and love when the norm becomes unfamiliar. We strive to raise awareness of the joys and challenges of living with aging dogs. While never forgetting where these dogs have come from, we want to emphasize the positive aspects of their life in retirement. We do not concern ourselves with the quantity of time that they have left, rather the quality of the life that we can provide them for that time.

Meet Connor **Adoption Pending!**

CONNOR / 9 YEARS / DOMESTIC LONGHAIR CAT Connor does not have a single mean bone in his body. He loves all people (just not young children), other cats, and dogs! He likes to sleep on the bed with you and likes to cuddle on your lap if you are on the couch. He uses his litter box perfectly and allows his nails to be trimmed (he is front declawed, so it is just his back claws). He does not like being outside, so he is not one to try and run out the door. He is quiet and does not jump up on counters. Connor is looking for a new home because he was having difficulties distancing himself from the family’s toddler. Dogs: Yes! Cats: Yes! Connor is on the submissive side so makes cat friends easily but will also need to be protected from bullying behavior. Kids: Older, respectful children only. Connor was very uncomfortable with the young children in his former family, so his new home would ideally not have children under 10 years of age. Health Concerns: Connor has chronic sinusitis which can cause him to have sneezing attacks. While this isn't harming his overall health at this time, it will need to be continually monitored for increasing severity.   ✨ If you'd like to adopt Connor, please fill out an adoption application here      http://www.greyfacerescue.org/cat-adoption-application

Adoption Process
Grey Face Rescue Adoption Process Grey Face Rescue'€™s goal is to place our foster dogs into loving homes and families. We take special care to match the right home with the right dog, ensuring a lifetime of love for both the pet and the adopter. To ensure the best matches are made, we have a process that has been proven effective in determining the best homes for our animals. Our adoption process may seem time consuming or unnecessarily complicated, but please understand that we have our dogs'€™ best interests at heart. We strive to find the best homes possible for our dogs, as well as find the right dog for you and your lifestyle. Please understand that our organization is completely run by unpaid volunteers, who dedicate their free time to help the dogs. The entire adoption process takes time; we are unwilling to sacrifice being thorough when the dog’s future is at stake. We thank you for your time and patience throughout our adoption process. Fill out Adoption Application The first step is to have you fill out a adoption application. This application will tell us about you and your lifestyle, training beliefs and background with animals. Application Review Our application review volunteers will initially screen your application to determine if all necessary information was provided. If not you will be contacted to either fill out another application or provide additional information. Verifications If it is determined that you rent your home, your landlord will be contacted to make sure you have approval to have a dog in your home. We also ask about any breed or size limitations. If your landlord does not allow for a dog in your home, your application will be denied at this point in the process. If you are adopting a bully-breed we will contact your insurance to assure they do not have breed restrictions within their policy. Veterinary Reference Contacted Our volunteers will contact the veterinary reference(s) you provided to determine if all your current pets are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations. If you don’t have any current pets, we will ask about the veterinary care that your previous pets received. If you have never owned a pet, this step is skipped. If your veterinary reference(s) cannot verify the spay/neuter and vaccination status of current or previous pets, processing of your application will be stopped until you can provide this information. Applicant Interview A volunteer from Grey Face Rescue will contact you via phone to get to know you better along with ask any questions they may have. Meet & Greet Our organization does not have a shelter where the dogs can be visited. Our dogs are in foster homes. We do NOT arrange meetings between interested individuals and our fosters until an applicant has been approved via this adoption process. Once you have been approved, a volunteer (usually the foster) will contact you about scheduling a time for you to meet the dog(s) you are interested in. This meeting may occur at the foster’s residence or your home. Just because you are determined to be an approved adopter, you are NOT guaranteed a particular dog. For some dogs we receive many applications so we may allow multiple applicants to have a meeting with the dog before we choose the home that we feel will be the best fit for the dog. Also, if the volunteer involved in the meeting with you and the dog, does not feel you are a good fit for the dog, you may be denied adoption of that particular dog but you may be allowed to adopt another dog. Adoption If you have decided upon a dog that you would like to adopt you are required to sign an adoption contract and to provide payment of the adoption donation fee and spay/neuter deposit if necessary. At that time you become the owner of the dog. We will then provide a couple cups of the dog food they have currently been eating, Grey Face Adoption tag, all medical and vet documents, a copy of the contract, transition packet to help in the transition process, a letter from the dogs foster giving you a more in depth info on the dogs likes, dislikes, behaviors, etc. Also, fosters may include specific toys or blankets the dog has become fond of. We have a two week refund period meaning if you decide the dog is not a good fit for your family and you return him/her within the two week refund period we will return your adoption donation to you. The adoption fee will be deposited upon receipt and refunded only if the adopted dog is returned within the two week refund period (or any prior agreed upon extension of the refund period). If at any time you are having issues with the dog, please email or call your contact person and inform us. A volunteer will be in touch with you asap. Optional Post Adoption Follow-Up Visit Our adoption contract contains a clause that allows one of our volunteers or a representative the ability to perform a follow-up visit. We may require such a visit if we feel that the terms of the adoption contract are not being met. Grey Face Rescue is committed to the life, health and well being of every dog we place for the remainder of that dog’s life. Should the adoption not work out or you need to rehome the dog, we require, by contract that the dog be returned to us. Please notify your rep ASAP.
