Rescue One, a nonprofit foster-based animal rescue group, has a record number of animals in care — about 520 rescued cats, kittens, puppies and dogs looking for forever homes.
To help find those homes in southwest Missouri, Rescue One is hosting virtual and in-person adoption events this week. Adoption fees for all animals for approved applicants have been lowered to $25 for dogs and $10 for cats.
All adoptable animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated and microchipped prior to being placed for adoption.
Rescue One is not an animal shelter. All of the animals in Rescue One’s care live in foster homes until they are adopted.
Adoption events
The virtual event is going on until Sunday. Visit Rescue One’s website and fill out an application.
A parking lot adoption event — for canines only — will be 4-8 p.m. Friday at Enterprise Park Lanes, 1625 S. Enterprise Avenue in Springfield.
A parking lot adoption event — for both dogs and cats — will be 1-4 p.m. Saturday at the Barker Shoppe, 1927 E. Bennett Street.
Fill out an online adoption application to get pre-approved to take home your new furry friend.
Rescue One also needs foster homes for animals that fall into the organization's care.
