Thank you for your interest in adopting from Orphan Annie Rescue!
We know how exciting and meaningful it is to welcome a new family member into your home.
Please note: Our adoption and foster applications are the same. Because foster homes must also be approved to adopt, we use one form for both purposes.
If you're applying to foster, simply write “foster” in the section where it asks for the name of the dog you're interested in. Before applying to foster, please click here to read more about fostering.
Please Read Before You Apply to Adopt:
1. Read the Dog’s Description Carefully
Each dog has specific needs—some may require a fenced yard, others may need a home with another dog, etc. These details are listed in their individual profiles. You can view all of our adoptable dogs here.
2. Location Requirements
Applicants must reside in Georgia or a neighboring state (AL, FL, SC, NC, or TN) unless otherwise stated in the dog’s description. We do not transport dogs, and all meet and greets take place in metro Atlanta.
3. Complete the Application Thoroughly
Please fill out the application with as much detail as possible. Missing or incomplete information, especially veterinarian and landlord contact info, can delay the process. We often receive multiple applications for the same dog. Our goal is always to place each dog in the home that best meets their needs, not on a first-come, first-served basis.
4. Meet and Greet Process
If you're selected as a match, we’ll invite you to a meet and greet, typically held on Saturday mornings.
If you’re unavailable at that time (for example, you work every Saturday), please email us before applying, or make a note in your application—we’ll do our best to accommodate, though flexibility may be limited as we are all volunteers.
If the meet and greet goes well, the expectation is that the dog will go home with you that day.
If you're not available the Saturday following your application, please wait to apply until you are. We are unable to hold dogs for adoption.
5. Already Applied Within the Past Year?
No need to reapply—unless you’ve moved or added a new pet to your household. Instead, send us an email at orphanannierescue@gmail.com and let us know which dog you’re now interested in. Be sure to include the name and email address you used on your original application or simply reply to the confirmation email you received.
6. Age Requirement
Applicants must be at least 21 years old.
