My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi, my name is Smokey. I am a sweet and gentle old soul. I am a bit of an introvert and get nervous around strangers, especially strange men. It will take me a bit of time to make new friends and learn to trust new people. But once someone has gained my trust, I am very affectionate and love to be pet! I love other dogs and get along fine with cats! I am very well behaved in a home, fully house broken, and do very well being groomed by people I trust! Children make me nervous, so I would do best in an adult-only home. I'd love to find someone who is a homebody introvert like me, who won't have too many people over to the house or make me go out to socialize. I'd prefer a quiet night in on the couch binge watching TV with you! If you need a new buddy to cuddle up with on the couch, count me in!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

To learn all about our adoption process please visit the following link: https://www.vocalforpets.org/how-to-adopt-a-pet/

We require an adoption fee for both dogs and cats, an application, and a home visit. We end the process with our adoption contract.

If you are interested in applying for one of our animals, please visit our website www.vocalforpets.org. Our dog and cat applications can be found under the "Paperwork" heading or on the "Adopt" page.

We accept multiple applications on all of our animals; we believe in finding the best fit home. We don't place animals on a first come, first serve basis. Once we receive your application, we will reach out to you to review your application IF we feel you could potentially provide the best fit home for the animal.

Go meet their pets

We DO NOT have a shelter facility open to the public. We are a foster based program so most of our animals live with our volunteers. We think this is pretty great! Having adoptable animals in foster homes teaches them pet manners such as housebreaking and social skills. It also allows us to learn a lot about the animals and helps us determine the type of home the animal will be most successful in.

If you are wondering how to meet an animal you are interested in adopting, you have to fill out an application first. Then, if we feel you could be a fit, we set up a home visit and meet and greet with the animal.

More about this rescue

We have seen the issues of pet overpopulation firsthand. Our board members and volunteers have worked with local animal shelters and have seen the thousands of animals in Marion County that have nowhere to go, who are often abandoned and/or killed. We also recognize the strength of the human-animal bond and have witnessed the situations that animals often fall into during a family crisis. We have made it our mission to help these animals. We hope you will join us!
