A MESSAGE FROM SALT RESCUE REGARDING OUR ADOPTION POLICY
I would like to clarify a few points regarding SALT Rescue’s adoption policy.
1. Our Adoption Interview
We conduct a phone interview that allows us to ask questions and gather information to help determine the best possible match for both the animal and the adopter. Our priority is always the animal’s well-being and finding a suitable, loving home.
2. Our Questions Are Approved by Our Board
Some of our questions may not be what everyone expects, and we understand that not everyone will agree with our process. However, these questions have been approved by our Board and are intended to help us make responsible adoption decisions.
If you are uncomfortable with our questions or adoption process, you may choose to adopt through another rescue. We ask that people be fair and respectful when discussing their experiences with SALT, rather than making exaggerated or misleading statements about our organization.
3. Finding the Right Match Matters
Once an application has been approved, the adoption can proceed. Our goal is not simply to find permanent homes for our animals, but to find the right homes — ones where both the animal and the adopter can thrive together.
4. Please Respect Our Volunteers
If an adoption application is not approved, we ask that you please treat our volunteers with kindness and respect. Every member of our team is a volunteer. No one is paid, and everyone gives their time because they care about animals.
If you are passionate about animal welfare, consider volunteering with a rescue in your community. The need is enormous, and there is no shortage of homeless animals needing help. Sadly, many will suffer or die this winter as the animal rescue system continues to struggle.
5. Our Responsibility to the Animals
SALT Rescue is like every other rescue organization: we depend on volunteers, donations, and community support to continue our work.
Our mission is, and always has been, Saving Animals Lives Together.
We ask for understanding, fairness, and compassion as we continue doing our best for the animals who depend on us. ❤️
