Find Your Forever Friend


Thank you for choosing to adopt! Every adoption not only changes one animal’s life but also opens space for us to save another in need. At Brixie’s Rescue, we strive to match each animal with the perfect family to ensure a happy, lifelong home.

Apply to Adopt

Our Adoption Process

  • Three cats sitting on a white surface next to a beige milk carton-shaped object. One is black and white, one is orange, and one is black and white with a mustache-like marking.

    1. Submit Application

    Complete our adoption application form on our website. Be honest and detailed so we can best match you with a pet that fits your lifestyle and experience.

  • Two brown dogs lying on a gray blanket on a bed with a unicorn stuffed toy nearby.

    2. Virtual Interview

    After reviewing your application and checking references, we’ll contact you within 1–3 business days via phone or text. During this call, we’ll discuss the pet you’re interested in, their personality, and your preferences for temperament and age.

  • A white dog with a black nose and one eye slightly squinted, standing outdoors on a grassy path, wearing an orange harness and a black leash.

    3. Virtual Home Check

    We’ll schedule a virtual home visit via FaceTime, Zoom, or Google Duo (15–30 minutes). This helps us ensure your space is safe and ready for your new pet, and it’s also your chance to ask questions about the adoption process.


  • 4. Meet & Greet

    Once approved, we’ll arrange a time and location for you to meet your potential new pet! The meet-and-greet will be coordinated between you and the foster family.

  • 5. Approval & Contract

    If approved, you’ll have 24–48 hours to sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee before the pet becomes available again for other applicants.

  • 6. Adoption Day!

    After your payment and paperwork are complete, your new family member is ready to go home! You’ll receive all medical and vaccination records and lifelong support from our team.
