Bluetails Pet Rescue Adoption Application

Please answer all questions completely and thoroughly. This includes landlord name & phone number & veterinarian name & phone number. We also recommend that you contact your landlord and vet and grant them permission to disclose your information to us. If you purchased heart-worm prevention someplace other than your veterinarian, you will be required to show proof. If we need to request additional information or wait for permission to be granted, we will move on to the next applicant while we are waiting for your information.

We strictly adhere to our adoption process as it is designed to find the best possible placement for each homeless animal in rescue. The basic steps are described on Our Adoption Process Page.

Our Approach is Simple...

Our approach to rescue is at its core fundamentally different than conventional methods. Bluetails is a non-profit, volunteer animal rescue organization, but unlike other groups we receive the majority of our funding through providing Pet Care Services throughout the Greater New Orleans area. However, like other rescue organizations, we do graciously accept donations.

We are dedicated to rescuing dogs left homeless for whatever reason – animals in public shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, pets given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect. ~ Courtney Jean Davis
