Supporting Programs for Rescued Dogs
Overview of the 4 Patas System
At Amigos de 4 Patas (AMIGOS), we are a volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing and fostering dogs. Our adoption system provides food, vaccines, deworming, and sterilization for the dogs in our care. If you’ve rescued a dog and need assistance with finding it a new home, we’re here to help.
Key Points to Know:
- Rescue and Veterinary Care: If your rescue dog requires immediate medical attention, please take it to a vet as we don’t offer 24-hour emergency services. Bring any veterinary records to your first appointment with us or submit them with your Intake Form (available in English and Spanish).
- Commitment and Process: After submitting the Intake Form, an intake coordinator will contact you to discuss the program and answer any questions. You’ll also sign a Commitment Letter (available in English or Spanish).
- Adoption Promotion: Once your dog is vaccinated and healthy, we will advertise it in various registries across the US and Canada, including a North American registry. We collaborate with you and potential adopters to ensure a good match for the dog.
- Transportation: When the adoption is confirmed, we arrange transportation to the dog’s new home.
Important Note: We are not equipped to accept dogs for direct deposit, pick up strays, or handle cases of animal abuse or neglect. Please contact the appropriate authorities for those situations.
To begin the process of getting your rescued dog adopted, please complete the Intake Form in either English or Spanish.
