The first step is to complete our rehome form with as much information as possible. One of our rescue personnel will contact you to discuss your dog and any issues or concerns. If your dog is accepted into our Rehome Program, we will either work with you to rehome your dog while you keep him in your home, or we will place the dog into a foster home. You will be guided by our experienced personnel about which option is best for you and your dog.

We appreciate donations to help with the costs associated with helping your dog, but it is not a requirement for our assistance. It is really helpful to IDOG if you can make sure your dog is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested and fairly recently groomed. All our dogs are spayed or neutered before adoption, so if your dog is intact, this will be an additional expense that IDOG will be incurring. 

IDOG Rescue keeps all information about our dogs’ placement and origin. Please contact us at [email protected].

We do often accept heartworm positive dogs. Complete our rehome form here.

IDOG Rescue will not accept aggressive dogs, but we do accept doodles with other behavioral issues, on a case-by-case basis.

We do not assist breeders in selling or reselling dogs.

We take dogs from all over North America and parts of Canada.

If your dog is staying with you while we find it a new home, you will continue to own the dog. If your dog is placed in foster care, you will sign a release of ownership form and IDOG Rescue will take ownership of the dog.

IDOG Rescue uses an intensive screening process to place dogs into new homes.  A reasonable adoption fee and an adoption contract ensure that there is a tangible level of commitment. The contract and fee combined with our careful pre-screening ensures that your dog’s next home will be his forever home.

All adoption fees go to the IDOG Rescue Fund, not to the dog’s owner. The IDOG Rescue Fund is used to help other dogs in the rescue that need vetting, heartworm and medical treatments, surgery and such.
