Adoption and Foster FAQs
-
We mostly provide lifelong care to animal friends at our sanctuary, especially those with disabilities, when we have the resources and ability — but occasionally we adopt out rescues and fosters that need a forever home.
Please check out our “adopt” tab on our website, or follow us on social media, to stay up to date on animals needing adoption or fostering.

Yes. We outline rules and requirements in our adoption applications, but our main requirements include:
We have first right of refusal; no exceptions. Any animal can come back to us at any time with no questions asked. We must be contacted first if you plan to rehome or readopt your animal friend.
We require the name(s) of the veterinary clinic or hospital that you plan to take your animal friend to. Routine veterinary care is needed for all animals adopted out, no matter the species — just like any dog or kiddo would receive.
If adopting a farmed animal, we require photos of their housing / pasture set ups.
Transportation is provided for all animals adopted out — either directly by us or by our partner transport organization.
All animals adopted out will arrive with physical care guides, veterinary advice, and enrichment ideas.
After adopting out an animal, we are always available to you for phone calls or messaging for questions, care ideas or advice, and updates.
Thank you for your understanding.

All animals do not have adoption fees. All adoptions have a suggested and welcome donation, but we do not charge adoption fees because we know that the animal comes with a lifelong financial care need.
We do require an adoption application and a phone call meeting with our team.

Yes! Please reach out to us at info@misfitscoven.org and let us know if you are open for fostering an animal species.
Due to our financial struggles, we are unable to provide resources and funding for foster’s care, but we always provide some food donations and do our best to raise funds — while we search for a forever home.

We do not take in owner surrenders. We are overwhelmed with community rescues and our own residents, as we are a tiny operation that is mostly self-funded.
Please see our “resources” tab for regional rescues and animal resources.

Please consider making a donation on our website to help us provide more foster availability and field rescues.
Sharing our rescue, donation links, or social media posts is also very helpful.
You can also sign up for a volunteer shift, to help us have more time for potential rescues and animal care.
Thank you for any and all kind support!
