We only rescue dogs from shelters when we have a committed foster or adopter. If you don’t see a dog listed here that was posted on our Facebook page, it means we’re still searching for a foster or adopter. Thank you for supporting our mission and helping us give these deserving animals a second chance!
We do require interested adopters to complete our DOG Adoption Application form or our CAT Adoption Application form online.
Adoption Requirements:
📌 Please review the following requirements before applying to adopt:
✔️ Age & ID Requirement – Adopters must be at least 25 years old and provide a valid government-issued ID.
✔️ Adoptions Are Limited to South Carolina – We DO NOT adopt out of state unless it is a special circumstance.
✔️ Home Visit Required – A home visit (virtual or in-person) will be conducted by a Rosie Rescue Adoption Coordinator before finalizing any adoption.
✔️ Application Approval – Rosie Rescue reserves the right to deny any adoption application at our discretion.
✔️ Be Ready to Adopt – Please only apply if you are fully ready to adopt. We cannot hold animals, as this prevents us from placing more dogs in foster homes and saving others from euthanasia.
✔️ Processing Time – We are an entirely volunteer-run rescue, so it may take up to 72 business hours to receive a response. Repeated emails slow down the process, and leaving questions blank may cause delays in processing your application.
✔️ Returning an Adopted Dog – If you need to return an adopted dog for any reason, please allow us at least two weeks to find an available foster placement.
🙏 Thank you for supporting our mission and making a difference in the lives of these animals!
