Ready-Set-Go Program

Wright-Way Rescue wants to help as many pets as possible. We designed the Ready-Set-Go! program to help owner-surrendered pets when our no-kill shelter is at capacity.

Every week, our staff must turn away over 100 animals because we don’t have the room to house them while we prepare them for adoption. By connecting with willing owners whose pets qualify for the program,Wright-Way Rescue can increase our lifesaving capacity by thousands of pets each year.

 

Our Ready-Set-Go! program is sponsored in part by grants from Maddie’s Fund and Athletes for Animals.

Placement Suitability
Participation in the Ready-Set-Go program enables more pets to be placed in loving homes while decreasing their length of stay in a shelter. The following information will help us determine if your pet(s) is suitable for this program.
After you apply for the Ready-Set-Go! program, we will review your application to determine your eligibility. Eligible pets will then be scheduled for an evaluation appointment to decide their acceptance into the program. The owner must be present at this appointment. If your pet is accepted into the program, their medical care begins on this date. The return to of the pet(s) is then scheduled for approximately 14 days from the date of the pet’s admittance to the program. After this date, the pet is guaranteed shelter at our facility until they are adopted. At this time we will also schedule a spay/neuter surgery if necessary, as well as any other needed veterinary treatment.
