Adopting from Island Dog Rescue

Adoption process

Potential adopters or fosters must complete an application and participate in an interview with one of our volunteers. Once approved, they can arrange meet-and-greets with the dogs available for adoption. All adoptions begin as a trial period, and upon finalization, a contract will be signed. We require all animals to be spayed or neutered. The fee for most adoptions is $395.

Service area: Puerto Rico and Virginia.
