Adopting a furry friend isn’t the only way to get involved. Since Agape launched in 2004, we have developed several specific programs to support our community and fulfill our mission:
Agape wouldn’t exist without our foster care program where dedicated families nurture the available dogs until he/she finds a forever family. While Agape is financially responsible for the dogs in the program, the foster parents provide a loving temporary home. We offer group classes to our foster families where they learn basic training skills. Through these classes they also gain a better understanding of general dog behaviors and needs.
Are you interested in adopting a dog from Agape? All of our dogs have been fully vetted including vaccinations, spay/neuter, tested for heartworms, and are current on preventative medications. Each adoptive family is supported by an Agape team member to make sure the dogs transition is stress free and a positive experience. We are proud of our 99% retention rate for Agape adoptions! Before taking the next step, please take a few minutes to read the following guide to find out what to expect from our adoption process.
Agape’s Forever Foster program supports dogs who are unlikely to be successfully adopted due to their high medical needs or senior status. By supporting their foster families on a permanent basis with the cost of their care, these pups have found their home, but their forever families do not have to worry about the cost of their care becoming a burden. Many thanks to Susie’s Senior Dogs for their support of this program, and to our forever foster families for their commitment to providing these dogs the highest quality of life, for the rest of their life.
Agape microchips all of our rescue dogs thanks to support from the Barbara J. Mapp Foundation. Microchipping saves lives by helping reunite dogs with their pet parents if the need ever arises. We strongly believe microchips are an important part of our overall mission to ensure the lifelong health and safety of our rescue animals.
