Spot's Last Stop
https://data.sniffspot.com/full-fit-in/768x512/Photos/SeoDogRescue/631/6f460f09c25f-Spots_Logo.jpegWe adopted a boxer mix pup from Spot's Last Stop. They brought it to Minnesota after it was found in Alabama following the tornado at about 6 wks old and suffering from severe mange. Wonderful foster arranged what turned out to be a very successful Meet and Greet with our other two dogs. Included in the adoption fee was the fee for neutering, which we had done when he was 6 months old.Carole LaGrange
Spot's Last Stop (SLS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit canine rescue located in the Twin Cities. SLS matches local families with homeless canines in need of forever homes by following an adoption process that is easy and fair. Our rescue is made up of a team of dedicated volunteers and fosters who support our mission to save rescue dogs with love and support. Our foster and volunteer networks are considered family, and we all support and encourage one another while sharing the same passion of helping homeless dogs arrive safely to their forever homes.
Mission and Vision
At Spot's Last Stop, it is our mission to place homeless dogs into loving and caring homes within the Twin Cities area. We strive to not only help homeless dogs find loving homes, but get animals out of shelters. In addition, we feel strongly about helping the community with resources in helping them keep their pets home, while networking with other local shelters and rescues to help Minnesota remain a low-kill state.
Adoption Policy
In order to be eligible to adopt a dog from Spot's Last Stop, you must be 21 years of age or older at the time of adoption.We require that the adopter either owns the home at which the dog will live, or else has secured permission from their landlord with respect to the adoption of the dog and the residence of the dog within their home.If you live with roommates or family, we ask that you discuss the addition of a dog into the home with them, and seriously take their feelings into consideration prior to beginning the adoption process.We require that all animals in the prospective adoptive family be spayed or neutered, up-to-date on rabies and distemper/parvo vaccines, and heartworm tested and on prevention. We feel that responsible pet owners fit in this category. If you are interested in having your current resident pet(s) spayed/neutered so that you may adopt one of our pets, we will happily reconsider your application once proof of spay/neuter is provided.Spot's Last Stop requires adoptive families who adopt a dog that is under the age at which they can be altered (spayed/neutered) to bring the dog to a pre-appointed veterinarian for their spay/neuter once the dog reaches 6 months of age. As a rescue group, our #1 goal is to eliminate the pet overpopulation problem, and by ensuring that each of our rescued dogs will be spayed/neutered, we are doing our part to control this epidemic.We will not adopt a dog to a home if it puts you over the city allowed animal limit, whatever that number may be.We require adoptive families to be aware of and agree to remain in compliance with the local leash/license laws for their hometown and surrounding cities.Every dog adopted from Spot's Last Stop must and shall reside indoors, in the adopter's home, and live as a family member and companion only. Adopter's agree that unless a special exemption is provided in writing by the Executive Director of Spot's Last Stop Canine Rescue, adopted dogs will not be kept outdoors including: overnight, during the adopter's working hours, or at any time left alone outdoors while the adopter is not at home.Dogs need to receive daily exercise/ playtime. We ask our adoptive families to provide each dog with an appropriate amount of daily exercise/playtime throughout their lifetime. This will help prevent destructive behavior (e.g. digging & chewing) as well as help to prevent other long-term behavioral issues from occurring.The adopter shall ensure that the dog receives proper veterinary care, which includes, at a minimum, an annual visit (i.e. wellness exam), sick visits, and any additional care on an as-needed basis in following with the veterinarian's recommendations. The dog shall always receive regular flea/tick medicine and appropriate heart-worm preventative, as well as all necessary vaccinations. In addition, Spot's Last Stop does recommend that adopters consider investing in pet insurance to help cover costs over the lifetime of the dog.The dog shall not be subjected to cosmetic surgery of any kind (i.e. tail docking, ear cropping, etc.) at any point throughout its lifetime.
