Meet Smokey!

This sweet, middle-aged girl, probably between 7 - 9 years old, has had her whole world turned upside down. Her beloved owner passed away, and sadly, there were no family members who were able to take her in. Now, after having a home and a person of her own, Smokey finds herself wondering where she belongs.

It's hard not to imagine what she must be feeling: sad, confused, and probably wondering why everything familiar suddenly disappeared.

Smokey actually has quite a story. She was found as a tiny baby in the parking lot of a police station, and after all these years, she had finally found the security and love of a home. Now she needs someone to help her find that sense of safety again.

What Smokey wants most may be pretty simple: a quiet home, a soft place to land, and people who will let her curl up on their laps while she forms new bonds at her own pace.

Smokey is currently very overweight, so her new family will need to be committed to helping her get healthier through careful diet management and encouraging her to move a little more. She may have perfected the art of being a couch potato, but with patience, love, and some gentle encouragement, wed love to see her become a happier, healthier version of herself.

Shes lost the person she knew and loved. Now she needs someone willing to show her that losing one home doesnt mean she has lost her chance at a loving forever home.

Could you be the person who helps Smokey feel safe, loved, and wanted again?

Important Information:
All of our animals are fully vetted before going to their furever homes. They are spayed/neutered, current on vaccines, dewormed, up to date on flea/tick prevention, heartworm prevention, and microchipped!

You must be an approved adopter in order to go on meet and greets. This saves everyones time- especially our gracious foster families! This also allows for you to take the animals home from the meet and greet if you so choose.

We are very quick to respond and process applications! All animals are posted until they have gone home to their new family. This animal may have other interested adopters in line. Please apply quickly and be prepared to welcome them into your home within a few days if you are interested.

The Adoption Process:
After our volunteers receive the application, they contact the potential adopter to set up an interview. During the interview they will:
-discuss the animal the adopter is applying to adopt,
-talk to the adopter about their experience with animals,
-find out more about the type of animal the adopter is looking to adopt,
-go over any questions the rescue may have regarding your application,
-help find the perfect fit for the adopter's family and lifestyle,
-and answer any questions the adopter has about the animal they are looking to adopt, the rescue, and how the adoption process works.

As part of the approval process, we require 2 non-family personal references. Our volunteers contact both references and have conversations regarding the potential adopter. If we are unable to reach the references provided, additional references may be requested. We also require a vet check. We will call the vet to conduct a short reference check.

A video walk-through of the adopter's home (and yard, if adopting a dog) is also required. The safety of our animals is one of our top priorities. They deserve to have a safe and secure place to live. The video can be sent to the Whiskers Fund email address or Facebook messenger upon submitting your application. When submitting the video, please reference which animal(s) you are applying to adopt.

Once the adopter is approved and matched with an animal, we will make arrangements for the animal to go to their new home. We hope to have each animal in their new home within a week. We are very clear that we will be keeping in touch and checking in for updates.
