Any individual looking to adopt must first complete an adoption application to be processed. He or she must also be willing to have a home check completed, an in person meet and greet (sometimes several meets are necessary depending on the dog(s) of interest and current pets in the home), and, when finalizing an adoption, give the adoption donation and sign the adoption contract. Because we are all volunteers and have other commitments beyond the rescue, the entire adoption process can and usually will take a week or longer. Please understand this ahead of time and know that while we work as quickly as we can while still being thorough, we are NOT the rescue for you if you are hoping to adopt the same day you apply. If you are approved to move forward to the next step in the process, we will contact you within five business days. We hope to create lasting bonds between adopters and the dog adopted, and it can take time to be sure it's the perfect fit for all involved. For a complete list of dogs that are available now, check out our adoptables page. If you have any questions about adopting, fostering, or any of the dogs, please email us at info@mercysdoorpetrescue.org. Thank you!

 If you need to print and mail, please send to P.O. Box 77 Savannah, Ohio 44874. This is the first step in the process.

    Please read before submitting: 
    Mercy's Door is a volunteer based organization. Please be understanding of this, and allow us proper time to process your application. Adoptions will NOT happen the same day we receive an application. Patience is a must, as we take the placement of our dogs very seriously. 


    Items that can assist in a quicker application review process :

    -Verifying with your landlord BEFORE applying, that you have permission to adopt this animal

    -Calling your veterinarian to let them know we will be contacting them for records. Often times they need permission from owner to release this info, so calling ahead (when you submit your application) will save some time.

    -Providing accurate contact info for your personal references, as well as the best time to reach them.
