The Adoption Process:
Thank you for your interest in Roseys Rescue. We only do adoptions on Saturday’s at Rosey’s store, PAWS Resale Shoppe, 5941 Carolina Beach Road, Wilmington, NC 28409. Call ahead to make sure we will have available dogs at the store. 910-399-8390 .
PAWS Resale Shoppe 910-399-8390 Address : 5941 Carolina Beach Road, Wilmington, NC 28409 Hours : Monday – Friday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm and Saturday’s 10:00 am t0 3:00 pm
We do not allow potential adopters to come to where the dogs/puppies are housed. It is Rosey’s personal home and not a public facility. Please don’t send a message or email, asking if you can come and “pick one out” or bring your dog to meet them.
Roseys Rescue often receives multiple applications on the same dog. We do not adopt on a “First Come, First Serve” basis. We prefer placement with a home that is the best home for each particular pup. Roseys Rescue does not “hold” dogs/pups for anyone. Not even with a deposit. We want to be fair to everyone interested in adopting and do not want people upset that “the one they wanted” was adopted before the adoption event.
We encourage potential adopters to come to our adoption event, to meet the pups and talk with the volunteers to determine if the pup you are interested in will be a good fit for your family and lifestyle. The pups will be in a large play pen that you are welcome to go inside and visit to see which pup would be the best match. If you have another dog/dogs, you are welcome to bring them to make certain they will accept each other.
Due to volunteer constraints, we prefer you come to the adoption event and meet the dogs and ask questions at that time.
Roseys Rescue receives many emails and texts requesting a return phone call, text or email. Please understand that the rescue is a small rescue and Rosey does all the fostering and care for the dogs. She runs the rescue on her own and does not have additional time to make phone calls or answer questions about available dogs. You can find any information about the available dogs on the website or Roseys Rescue Facebook Page.
Adoption is not guaranteed. Every potential adopter must fill out an Adoption Application Contract to be determined if it’s approved prior to adopting. You can either email your completed application prior to the adoption event or print it out and bring it with you. Applications/Contracts are also provided at the adoption event. Once the application is completed and reviewed, we will let you know if you are approved or denied.
**There are several reasons we may choose to deny your request to adopt from us. These reasons include but are not limited to: negative references from veterinarian and/or personal references, lack of permission from landlord or breed restrictions on homeowners insurance policy, lack of understanding of needs of rescue dogs, too young, applicant name found on a “Do not adopt” list, etc.**
Once you have been approved, a team member will go over all the medical records thoroughly with you and make sure it’s understood the requirements and supplies needed to properly care for your new pup. We will go over the vaccine history, what you can expect as far as behavior from the dog you choose, the food they eat, and the needs of each individual dog. You will receive the original medical records when you take your pup home. The adoption fee is $275.00 and must be paid when you pick up your pup. We accept Credit/Debit cards, Venmo or Cash. No Checks. We do not “finance” the adoption fee.
Roseys Rescue does not do out of state adoptions.
