My name is Maggie!

Our adoption process begins with the application. After you send in the application it is forwarded to that pups foster family. They review it and set up a time that works for both parties to meet the pup. Once you have met the pup, you can decide whether you'd like to adopt pup or not. The foster also decides whether they feel you would be a good fit for the pup. If everyone is in agreement, we can move forward with the adoption process. When you move forward, you will be sent a text message from Shelterluv to the phone number you provided on your application. This text message has the adoption contract that you sign and the payment link. If you are planning to do a same day meet and adoption, payment and contract need to be completed before taking pup. Otherwise you can set up a pick up time with the foster to pick up your pup. After the pup is adopted, you will receive medical records within 2 weeks. We also have a spay/neuter agreement in the adoption contract. It states that you agree to have your pup sterilized (or scheduled) by 30 days after the 6 month mark, or if pup is older then 6 months, 30 days after adoption. If you choose to get your pup sterilized through us, we contact you closer to the 6 month point, and we put in a request with our vet partners (Golden Valley Animal Hospital or St. Paul Animal Hospital). We will reach out at that time and email you a list of information we will need for the request. If done through us, we cover the cost of sterilization. If you choose to use your own vet, you would send proof of sterilization and we will reimburse $100.

All meet and greets are set up through appointment and locations are determined by foster and applicant. Adoption events are posted on our website and all are welcome to attend.

Our Mission is to love animals. We will take on healthy and sick* animals and try to nurse them back to health. We will do our best to research and keep up with the vet approved method of taking the best care of animals through the help of our vet partners. We will, also, work to help turn any dog, that has the right temperament, into a therapy dog to help children and adults with mental illness. We will work around the clock to take animals out of dangerous situations and put them into loving homes.
