Our Adoption Process.

1. Submit an application thoroughly and truthfully. You must be 21+ years old.

2. Call your vet to release records for us to obtain a reference. We verify proof of spay/neuter and current Rabies and DHPP vaccinations for any pet you've owned in the last 5 years.

3. Email oarwny@gmail.com with current photos of your home's inside living space as well as front and back yards. We may request a home visit at our discretion.

4. After Step 3 you should be approved to adopt and the foster will call you to set up a meet & greet with you and any current pets.

​5. Sign the contract to officially adopt your new family member and love them furever!

About us.

Open Arms Rescue of WNY is a small, grass roots type of rescue group. We are comprised of all volunteer, non-paid members who have all been involved in rescue for years. These members include a professional dog trainer, business owners, and loving foster families, all who share a common goal which is simply to save dogs and pups from either locally unwanted situations, or from dog pounds and shelters to place them into loving forever homes. We are a non-profit organization funded solely on donations and fundraising, and we have Federal 501c3 status. OARWNY is a 100% pro spay/neuter rescue.
