FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: DO YOU HAVE A FACILITY WHERE WE CAN MEET YOUR ADOPTABLE ANIMALS?
A: No, we are a foster based rescue. Our animals are in individual foster homes between Columbia and Charleston, South Carolina. We believe a foster home allows a dog or puppy to get acclimated to a normal routine, so they can adjust easier into their forever home. You must submit an adoption application and be approved in order to meet one of our animals.
Q: WHAT IS THE ADOPTION FEE, AND WHAT DOES IT COVER?
A: Our adoption fees range between $350-$800 for dogs and puppies. This covers the pet being spayed/neutered, microchipped, being up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and if Heartworm positive, covers their treatment. Rescue is expensive, we very rarely spend less on an animal than their adoption fee. For every healthy dog that comes in, several medical cases come behind them. On average, we spend $500-$1,000 on an animal when they are in our care. More importantly, a pet is an investment, by paying the adoption fee, you are showing that you are dedicated to having them as a member of your family.
Q: WHERE DO YOU ADOPT TO?
A: We prioritize adopting to families in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, but are willing to consider other states depending on the animal. We expect all adopters to pick up their new fur friend from our foster family once approved and selected for an animal.
Q: IF THE ADOPTION DOES NOT WORK OUT, WILL THE ADOPTION FEE BE REFUNDED?
A: No. Pet adoptions are a lifetime promises to animals. If you the adoption does not work out you will be required to return your pet to Eunoia and will not be refunded.
Q: ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTION?
A: We generally determine whether an adopter/dog pair is a good fit on a case by case basis, however, we currently only adopt to individuals 23 years or older.
Q: WHAT BREED IS THAT DOG?
A: We have no idea. We do not DNA Test. If a breed is listed, it is because it is a guess based off of their appearance. Your guess is as good as ours. We also cannot guarantee a size once a dog is full grown. Breed doesn't matter in rescue, as all dogs are created equal, and all are deserving of amazing homes.
Q: HOW CAN I MEET A DOG?
A: Please submit an adoption application via the adopt page, you can view our adoptable dogs here as well. The adoption process is outlined there. We will not conduct any meetings without an approved application - this is so we can ensure you are approved to adopt before you fall in love with your future pet.
Q: CAN I SURRENDER MY PET?
A: We do not take owner surrenders unless they are dogs adopted from Eunoia. Our mission is to save animals from high kill shelters that are placed on the euthanasia list. Our philosophy is that animals are not just a pet, but family members. We understand that sometimes the circumstances are out of your control - we use our social media platforms to adopt out our animals - & we suggest if rehoming is your last option, you do the same!
Q: HOW CAN I HELP?
A: Donations are always needed - rescue is expensive. Fosters are needed in order for us to save more!
