St. Louis Pet Rescue only adopts to the local St. Louis metro area.
Thank you for considering a rescued pet. Adoption is a wonderful and kind act. Weighing what adoption means financially, emotionally and physically will allow for a lifetime commitment which the pet deserves. These pets are looking for someone to love and be their companion for the rest of their days. In most cases, we do not know the pet’s history, breed and age and are more often then not, an estimate. We hope you’ll join us in the adventure in rescue and consider adopting one of our pets.
How Do I Adopt?
If you wish to meet a pet, please submit an application, then we will put you in contact with the pet’s foster parent to arrange a meeting. Please return it to contact@stlpetrescue.com. You must download the applicatoin and print it out and then scan it or take photos of each page and email it to us. You can also turn it in in person at the Fenton Petco or Sunset Hills Petsmart on Saturdays from 12-3 p.m.
Why Charge an Adoption Fee?
Adoption fees are listed on the pet’s adoptable pet listing. The adoption fee covers their vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip and screening tests. STLPR charges adoption fees to help cover some of the cost of vetting and caring for the pet. Our veterinarians do these services at greatly reduced rates for us. These services would cost an individual over $500!
What If It Doesn’t Work Out?
Per the STLPR Adoption Agreement, you are required to return the pet to STLPR. Please provide us with some notice and work with us on a time to retrieve the pet. Most volunteers work full-time jobs, and are unable to retrieve the pet during the business day.
