Florida Dog Adoption
Welcome to a Florida Dog Adoption, named In Dog We Trust, Inc. we are a 501(C)(3) not for profit organization. We are a small, privately run animal rescue and services charity. Our priority is helping abused, injured, or neglected animals; we try to always accommodate as many of these cases as humanly possible.
Currently, we have a limited number of dogs we can house in our facility. With our continued efforts through our website and social marketing outreach programs; combined with "word of mouth" we hope to see more volunteers and donations come in to help all the animals that are depending on us to rescue them.
The more we raise, the more lives we can rescue. Please take a moment and decide what you can afford to donate! Maybe it's your time or money, or maybe even both! Whichever it is, make the commitment now! Get involved it's a very rewarding experience. When you meet some of our dogs and have a hand in saving and nurturing them back to health and happiness. Experience the appreciation our dogs will give you in return for you caring enough to help them. It's a fantastic feeling of helping a life in need, that feeling is truly priceless!
We welcome and appreciate all our dedicated volunteers, members, and supporters, and now are reaching out for dedicated persons with fundraising experience. If you can help with fundraising please click here and let us know what you can do and how to reach you!

Adult male Labrador Retriever Bongo is a sweetie to be sure. He has a beautiful black coat, loves playing with toys, and never stops wagging his tail. He was a stray found in Miami-Dade animal services and was scheduled to be euthanized. In spite of his recent spell of bad luck, there is a joie de vivre in this plucky boy that is contagious. Bongo will be a fantastic companion for his new family. Thank you for considering Adopting rather than Shopping! BONGO is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.
Adult female Labrador Retriever Emily is a sweet lady looking for a special home. She loves to run and play, but is shy at first. Emily does not like men and needs another lady to share a home with.

Emily is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.
Gizmo, aka “Gizzy”, was found well manicured and handsome as ever wandering beside a park in Delray Beach with no collar or identification.

He is full of energy and will kiss you for days if you let him–he is currently being fostered in a 3 dog household and is eager to find his forever home with a wonderful family that can give him all the love and attention he deserves! He would probably do best in a house where he was the only dog or with one other doggie

Successful Adoptions
Nicole, I just wanted to thank you and your staff so much for introducing us to Bentley. We absolutely love him. He is so sweet…. it’s so hard to leave the house without bringing him me. He already knows how to fetch and sit, we’re still working on lay down. Thank you again, I promise to bring him to the DOGBAR to visit you guys. If you ever need any help with your dog adoption drives please let me know. – Katie
My name is Dan, I was looking around to adopt a dog for several months from different shelters in Palm Beach and Broward Counties. My experience was either they were making it impossible to adopt or that all the dogs that fit my description were already in progress of being adopted. I found Nicole and her team at In Dog We Trust, they rescue dogs from all the Tri-County shelters and or kill shelters. They also host different events that showcase the dogs that are looking for new homes. So they get out there and give dogs an opportunity to be seen. Pretty Cool... (cont. next photo)
Papi the dachshund lost both of his companion dogs two weeks before Christmas due to extreme old age. He wouldn’t eat, cried all the time, and needed a new friend fast! We called a number of rescue groups and either didn’t get a response, the dog we called about was in another state, or the adoption fee was as much as buying from a breeder. Nicole’s website caught our eye because her mission statement is ‘one dog at a time’. We sent an email, she answered back immediately, and we scheduled an appointment for the next day....(cont. next photo)

My Mission
There are many levels of dedication to DOGS: owners, walkers,
lovers, fosters, breeders, groomers, trainers, and more.
Then there is a life meant to be of maximum service to dogs.
This is where I find myself after a lifelong history of involvement with
these AMAZING animals.
My goal with regards to dog rescue lies in the education, awareness,
and a vision unlike any other.
ONE DOG AT A TIME.

Pre-Surgery Information
Please take the time to read this information
How to find us: We are located at 10948 Acme Rd, Wellington, FL 33414. Visit http://floridadogadoption.com/contact-us/ for specific directions to our facility. GPS and navigation systems WILL NOT bring you to us.
The evening before your pets surgery: Your pet should not eat or drink after midnight the evening prior to surgery. Food or fluids in the stomach can present a risk during surgery. If your pet HAS eaten or had a drink the morning of surgery, please make sure to notify staff at check in.
Please arrive promptly at the time specified in your surgery confirmation email, usually 8:30 9:00 am.
What to do upon arrival: It is a short wait in line, to have your paperwork confirmed, and to book your pet in. Each pet is given a cage number, this number is written in the top right hand corner of your receipt. Please relate to this number for pick up and additional service. Your receipt also covers all information for aftercare.
Dog Owners: All dogs must be walked and encouraged to go to the bathroom before they are placed in a cage. This is for your pets comfort and SAFETY. Please weigh your dog when you arrive, you will find a scale by the door.
NO CHOKE CHAINS. Please have a regular collar on your pet. You will be requested to take your leash home with you when you drop off. You may be asked to assist in putting your dog into a cage inside our medical unit. The number that you are assigned; a clip with numbered tag, to be placed on the cage door, not on the dogs collar.
BAD DOGS, BITERS, you may be asked to wait until the veterinarian arrives and assist with the initial handling, before leaving. Cat Owners: All cats have to be in separate carriers, If you have multiple cats in one carrier, you will be asked to transfer your cat(s) to one of our carriers. We have carriers for your use. Please ask for assistance.
If you do not have a carrier to transport your cat to our clinic, do not bring in open arms. Place your cat in a pillowcase and tie the top with an elastic band, let one of our staff know AS SOON AS YOU ARRIVE that you need assistance with a carrier.
When bringing your cat in your own carrier, DO NOT LINE with a blanket or towel, the cat may suffocate before it is fully awake. We will remove same, and cannot guarantee that your towel or blanket will be returned to you. DO line the bottom of the carrier with a good thick padding of newspaper, (3 sections of the Palm Beach Post works well).
You do not have to make extra identification or labels on your carrier, your cat(s) will be given a cage number. This number follows your cat all through the sterilization and vaccination procedures, and your cat will go home with a corresponding numbered collar on.
Booking in Procedure: The information that you have provided on the pre-registration form, is transferred to the actual surgery sheet. These are kept in last name alphabetical order, we will request your last name only, to select your paperwork. When you are being booked in, we will confirm the information given (to ensure that we have entered it correctly) Sometimes we may advise you that it is our opinion that your pet may benefit from additional medical procedures. This becomes your option to accept, or refuse.
You will be asked to sign the surgery consent form, which has been assigned a cage number, and you will be given a copy of the form which also INCLUDES YOUR
AFTER CARE INSTRUCTIONS. We strongly suggest that you read all this information before pick up so that we can answer any questions that you may have. If you are requesting a rabies shot (we use a 3 year shot) we will be giving you the rabies license at time of pick up). License is the paper license, the mandatory Tag is obtainable from ACC with the paper license.
Pick up times You will be advised of the pick up time when we book your pet in, times can vary but, rule of thumb is Dogs and Cats go home in the afternoon, generally around 5:00pm. Times can vary, depending on variations, Doctor timing, volume of dogs verses cats. Your estimated pick up time will be written on the bottom left side of your signed consent form.
PLEASE KEEP THIS PAPER WORK SAFE AS IT IS YOUR MEDICAL RECORD.
Pick up Procedure: Every animal is processed by the cage number allocated at book in time, please quote this number when picking up. Dogs will go home with antibiotics, and possible additional information. Many dogs require elizabethan collars or E-collars (those things that look like satellite dishes) to prevent them chewing on their stitches. If your dog tends to chew or lick a lot, or is a high energy dog you should purchase a collar ahead of time. Cats do not receive
additional medications.
You will be asked to sign our surgery sheet, confirming pick up, and if additional costs are incurred you will pay these, at this time. Such cost would be as per advised at time of book in, additional shots, ($10.00), additional surgeries or procedures as discussed, in the morning. Unexpected expenses can, but not often, occur. Advanced pregnancy usually incurs an additional small charge.
Undescended testicles also may add additional cost. If you have questions regarding your aftercare and you feel it is not explained fully on your consent form we will be happy to answer your questions at Pick up Time.
Important information for owners of multiple kittens: We will not release kittens under 4.5 months of age in the same carrier. If you have multiple kittens being picked up, you must bring a separate carrier for each, a cardboard box with venting holes will suffice for the homebound journey.
Dogs are not to be transported home in the back of open pick up trucks, many times they are still under some effects of anesthesia and it could be dangerous.
We hope that this information is helpful to you, and we look forward to seeing you on the scheduled date. You have made a great decision in halting the overpopulation crises, by having your pet sterilized. Remember In Dog We Trust, Inc. is 100% for the animals, not the profit.
WE SELL PET PRODUCTS. Gently used, crates, carriers, litter trays, food dishes, toys, leashes, ask us? We may have it.
All sales help subsidize our low cost clinics, and homeless animals. There will be no sales in the early morning booking in period, due to lack of time. If you have a pet need please be sure to ask us. E-mail is the preferred method of
communication. Please email appt_FloridaDogAdoption.com.
Shots and medical for your other pets! We can also help you with shots and other medical for your other pets, we run vaccination and wellness clinics twice a week, usually in the afternoon. We can save you money. All vaccinations are $12.50, (they are just $7.50 when done at time of surgery), deworming is $7.50, and exams are
$25.00. You must call for an appointment.
CONSIDERING TAKING IN ANOTHER PET? We always have dogs and puppies all wanting a loving home.

Former wildlife center becomes second-chance shelter for dogs
Nicole Brown, 33, of Boynton Beach, had been volunteering with rescue dog agencies for eight years before she founded In Dog We Trust, Inc., a nonprofit Florida dog adoption service a year ago. The inspiration to start a rescue shelter came after a visit to the Miami-Dade County Animal Care and Control Shelter.
"There were 600 dogs sitting there, 100 of which would be killed that day. I couldn't see that problem and not do something about it," Brown said. "Animal Care and Control in the tri-county area euthanize about 55,000 dogs alone each year."
Three months ago Brown expanded her work moving In Dog We Trust, Inc. from Delray Beach to the former Folke Peterson Wildlife Center at 10948 Acme Road near Wellington with funding from her own savings and volunteer support. The plan is to utilize the 28-acre, 10,000-square-foot facility to house rescue dogs that would otherwise be euthanized in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade Animal Care and Control shelters.
"We are working to raise awareness and get them adopted into good homes," Brown said. "Adopting a dog is a great option; the dog is already trained, spayed or neutered and micro-chipped. Plus there is the feel-good factor."
Have your say. Be sure to comment on this story below.
With the size of the facility Brown is able to operate adoptions, facilitate training and grooming, and provide a host of dog health and welfare services that will include a low-cost spay and neuter clinic. Currently housing 40 dogs, the shelter can house up to 150 dogs with the correct number of volunteers and funding, she said. Each dog that comes into the shelter is seen by a volunteer veterinarian, put on a proper diet, exercised daily, given basic training and personality tested.
"Nicole picks the dogs that are on their death bed, giving them a second chance. They know it and appreciate it," said volunteer Sue Gould, 54, of The Acreage.
Brown is also using the facility to host educational workshops that will teach youth and pet owners the importance of spaying and neutering pets. The shelters secondary goal is to create public awareness about rescue dog issues. In Dog We Trust, Inc. also invites Boy and Girl Scout troops to come learn and volunteer at the shelter.
"Just rescuing dogs isn't the solution," Brown said. "We also have to educate people on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets."
Since opening three months ago the shelter has helped 40 dogs find new homes and families. The shelter goes through an extensive process making sure that each dog is matched with the perfect owner. The goal is that the dog will never need to see the inside of a shelter again.
The adoption process begins when future adopters fill out a form on the shelter's website, http://www.floridadogadoption.com. After that shelter volunteers work to match available dogs with the needs of the individual or family. Then before the dog can go home there is a home visit to make sure it will be the best environment for the new pet.
"In Dog We Trust gave us the opportunity to adopt two loving dogs. During a home visit they jumped on our laps and our hearts were stolen," Lillian Tamayo, 53, of West Palm Beach, said about her two adopted dogs, Tucker and Tootsie. "Its says a lot about Nicole seeing the potential of older animals that is overlooked by many."
Volunteers are important to the shelter because they are its work force, providing dog walking and cleaning services, grant writing and fundraising as well as all the day-to-day needs. For example Gould helps the center by walking and training dogs, putting dog listings on the website and making cage cards. Her husband Ron Gould, 63, who started volunteering after Sue, started using his skills as an entomologist to help with insect problems on the grounds, but isn't above walking a dog or two either.
People interested in volunteering should visit the website to fill out a volunteer form. The shelter will also be hosting two volunteer seminars at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Sunday. During the seminars guests will learn about volunteer options and take a tour of the facility.
The shelter's hours are from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. by appointment only Monday through Friday; 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday; and Sunday is open drop-in hours. For more information on adopting, volunteering or making donations call 561-400-7723 or visit http://www.floridadogadoption.com.

The euthanasia process
Why we need your help!
Some realities we need to make you aware of:
In shelters alone, approximately 3-4 million cats and dogs are euthanized every year, approximately one every eight seconds - a fact reported by Humane Society of United States. This is happening right in our backyard. Running a rescue operation costs upwards of $10,000 a month to care for 100 - 200 dogs at any given time, including transport, vet care, medicine, food, and proper TLC. We need your help to keep moving forward in our mission to rescue, rehab, and rehome the dogs we so dearly love. Dogs coming out of county shelters are exposed to many germs during their stay. While we work at preventing dogs ever having to see the inside of a county shelter, we still must do what we can to help. These dogs have five days...their timeclock is ticking. Please help us give them a chance by donating. We stand as the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.
This is why we try so hard!
Dogs we are able to aquire will not have this fate! With your help we can save more lives! So please make a donation now it all adds up !!
