why adopt with fetch?
There are many places to adopt a dog from and it's important to adopt from a reputable organization to ensure you get the right match for you and your family. Here are the benefits of adopting through Fetch Wisconsin Rescue:
we know our dogs.
First and foremost, Fetch takes its time getting to know the dogs in our care. We strive to understand the best possible environment for them to succeed in. Behavior and medical issues are addressed and worked on while in foster care. Foster homes have a limit of two dogs to ensure environments are low-stress and individualized attention is given to each dog.
we care for our dogs.
Second, we provide thorough vetting to ensure that we are adopting out healthy dogs. Some rescues will do basic vaccinations and stop there. We'll do dentals, surgeries, bloodwork, and more so that we send home a pup just needing basic maintenance over time.
we share it all.
Third, we're completely transparent about the type of dog you are going to get. These pups are not perfect, but we'll let you know all issues we’ve observed and how to work on those.
We help post-adoption.
Fourth, we have a strong support network post-adoption. For some of our more challenging dogs, we've sent behaviorists to an adopter's door at our own cost. For less severe cases, our resident trainer will give adopters a call and help them work out a training plan to get things back on track. We also provide a free training class (up to $90) for every dog that gets adopted out through Fetch. This ensures that you start your pup off on the right paw from the beginning.
we’re local first.
Lastly, we try to solve the local problem before expanding our efforts to out of state dogs. If there are breeds we can rescue locally, we start there. If there aren't, we'll expand to our neighboring states to help with their shelter overcrowding. Adopting through Fetch actually makes a difference in the local community and Wisconsin.
