A Note on Our Adoption Process

Thank you for your interest in adopting from Helmsted Holler Haven. We appreciate you taking the time to complete our adoption application.

Please understand that submitting an application does not guarantee adoption. Our top priority is finding the best possible home for each animal in our care. The application is the first step in a thorough vetting and approval process designed to ensure a safe and loving environment for our rescues.

Our team carefully reviews every application, and we make adoption decisions based on what is in the best interest of the animal. This includes, but is not limited to, factors such as:

  • The animal’s specific needs and personality
  • The applicant’s home environment and lifestyle
  • Location and distance from the rescue
  • Adoption history and previous pet ownership

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to find the perfect forever home for every animal.
