SEN Foundation Animal Rescue is a volunteer-run foster-based rescue dedicated to saving the lives of injured, sick, abandoned, ownerless animals, as well as preventing animal cruelty and neglect. We passionately believe that people help animals and animals help people through trust, unconditional love, and respect. We believe that animals from shelters and animals with special needs also deserve a chance. Sharing this philosophy with others, we inspire and teach locally and internationally, the importance of the animal-human bond, responsible and humane treatment of animals, adoption of animals from shelters, and animals with special needs.

Mission and Vision

The MISSION of the SEN animal rescue is to expand the network of animal lovers by inviting new individuals and demographics to the exciting & rewarding experience of animal rescue with never-ending snuggles in the comfort of your own home! We are an inclusive non-profit that continually welcomes and seeks volunteers who can donate their time and hearts!

Adoption Policy

Matching ProcessEach animal is different, having its own unique personality and needs. We do our best effort to match each animal with the right home. Sometimes, as wonderful a home as you may have, a particular animal may not be a good match for your situation. One, who is shy and afraid of noises, may not be a good match for a busy household. One, who is very social, will not be a good match for a busy professional spending most of their time at work.We would prefer bonded kittens to be adopted in pairs or into a house with another pet to bond with. Here you can learn more about why adopting two kittens is better than one for kittens. The happiness and quality of life of our animals is our top priority.Adoption ProceduresStep 1. Check available animals on our website and select the one (or more) you would like to meetStep 2. Fill out the Adoption Application:Dogs‚CatsStep 3. We will review your application and if it seems to be a good fit for the animal(s) you are interested in, we will get in touch with you. Unfortunately, due to a high volume of applications for some animals, we may not always be able to respond to everyone. We interview all potential adopters to ensure the well-being of the animal. A home inspection may be required prior to finalizing an adoption.Step 4. Please, make sure all family members are present at the meet and greet. If you have a dog, please have it meet our dog as well (not recommended for cats though). After the successful meet and greet you are welcome to adopt our pooch or kittie. We may continue interviewing other applicants concurrently until we receive a written confirmation to adopt.Step 5. Sign an adoption agreement, pay adoption fees, and schedule pickup of the animal. Make sure you have all the supplies ready before taking your new companion home. For cats, a carrier is required(!) at the time of pickup. Provided ServicesAll animals in our care are getting the following services:Physical wellness examVaccinations appropriate for the age Microchip registration Spay or Neuter*Deworming treatments Flea preventative medicationOther medical treatments as neededFIV/FeLV test can be done for additional $40/cat*In case spay/neuter is not possible at the time of adoption due to health reasons, the Adopting agreement is contingent on the new owner completing the Spay/Neuter of the animal. Adoption FeesA donation is required to help defray a portion of the costs of medical services, food, transportation, and supplies for our rescued animals. As we are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization and receive no government funding, we would be unable to rescue animals in need without your donation. All donations are tax-deductible. Additional donations are appreciated, as it will help us to rescue more animals in need. We're not getting any salaries for rescue activities, so all money goes directly to help animals. Many companies will double your contribution, so please check with your employer whether they have a gift matching program. ‚cat/kitten - $250International cat/kitten - $300+ FIV/FeLV test can be done for $40/cat,Domestic dog/puppy - $600Small international dog - $665Medium international dog - $765Large international dog - $865X-Large international dog - $965+ for both Domestic and International Rescue dogs $200 REFUNDABLE deposit, returned after completing formal dog training classes**We reserve the right to increase or reduce adoption fees based on the individual characteristics of selected animals (e.g. senior animals or animals with special needs)*Due to flight disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the dramatic increase in transportation costs, our current adoption fees for international rescues are based on crate sizes used to transport the dogs. **The rescued dogs oftentimes did not have a chance to develop obedience and proper behavior, as they were not exposed to formal training. It is highly recommended to attend basic dog training classes; it would benefit the new owner and their new dog relationship. We will refund the deposit when proof of completing formal classes is provided.After AdoptionOnce you bring home a Dog or Cat from SEN Foundation Animal Rescue, you're part of the SEN Foundation Animal Rescue Family! As a valued member of our extended rescue family, we invite you to connect with us on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. By following our pages, you'll be a part of a vibrant community of animal lovers who share your commitment to animal welfare. Please, share your adoption story - this way you're providing inspiration and encouragement to individuals who may be considering adopting a rescue animal. Your story can spark a chain reaction of kindness and compassion. Your interactions, likes, shares, and comments on our social media posts contribute to raising awareness about our rescue work. With every interaction, you're helping us reach potential adopters, volunteers, and donors who can join us in our mission.Veterinary CareAdopters are required to take their new animal to a veterinarian within two weeks of adoption for the dog's first wellness checkup. Purchasing Veterinary Insurance is highly recommended. Please review the PET Insurance Page on our website, with Plans and Reviews of the insurance companies and policy coverages, to pick the most suitable for your new animal.

My Dog Is Food Aggressive With Other Dogs: What To Do
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
Scent Training for Dogs: A Beginner's Guide
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
Service Dog Training Costs: DIY vs. Pro
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
What is and How to Handle Potty Training Regression
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Coprophagia: Why Does Your Dog Eat Poop?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!

Rottweiler Aggression: Truth vs. Myth
Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
What Is a Reactive Dog? A Guide to Understanding Reactivity
So: Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (cars, bikes, skateboards, and other fast-moving objects are also common triggers) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling not only feels embarrassing for you — it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
How to Socialize a Reactive Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
