MA, PAWS, & ME PET RESCUE INC.

APPLY

​MPM is a foster-based rescue with no physical facility. To meet any of our available dogs, you must begin by submitting an adoption application for approval.

Please allow 3–5 business days to hear back regarding application approval.
We strongly encourage you to review our Adoption Policies before submitting an application.

​

IF YOUR APPLICATION IS APPROVED

• Your approved application will be shared with our foster families.

• Foster families will contact you directly if they determine you may be a good fit for the dog you applied for.

• If you are not the right fit for that specific dog, you will be notified and connected with our Adoption Counselor, who will help you identify dogs that better match your adoption criteria.

• The next step is a meet and greet, followed by a required in-person home visit.
  Meet and greets and home checks are not conducted virtually.

​

Once a match is confirmed:

• A signed adoption contract and adoption fee are due.
