Adopting Saves Lives 🐾
When you adopt, you’re not just giving a dog or cat a home — you’re giving them a second chance at life. Every adoption opens space for us to rescue another animal in need, especially those who are overlooked, abandoned, or facing euthanasia.
Cleo’s Legacy is a 100% volunteer-run, foster-based rescue, meaning we have no shelter building — you are the bridge between life and death for these pets. While adoption fees help, they only cover a small portion of the total cost of medical care, food, supplies, and training each animal needs while with us. We rely heavily on donations and community support to continue saving lives.
🧡 Adoption fees are waived for veterans, first responders, and law enforcement through our partnership with Chico’s Promise.
💚 Subsidized adoption fees are available for low and fixed-income families*, because everyone deserves the chance to love and be loved.
Please remember: adoption is a commitment for LIFE. These animals have already been let down once — they deserve a stable, loving, and forever home. ❤️
The 3-3-3 Rule
🐾
Every animal needs time to decompress, adjust, and trust in their new home:
- 3 Days 🕒 — Feeling overwhelmed, nervous, and unsure
- 3 Weeks 🗓️ — Starting to settle in, learn routines, and show personality
- 3 Months 🏡 — Fully comfortable, trusting, and bonded with their family
Please give your new pet the patience, consistency, and love they need during this transition. A little time and understanding go a long way in helping them thrive. ❤️
