Rescue Me by Terri Onorato
 
 Rescue me not only with your hands but with your heart as well.
 I will respond to you.
 Rescue me not out of pity but out of love.
 I will love you back.
 Rescue me not with self-righteousness but with compassion.
 I will learn what you teach.
 Rescue me not because of my past but because of my future.
 I will relax and enjoy.
 Rescue me not simply to save me but to give me a new life.
 I will appreciate your gift.
 Rescue me not only with a firm hand but with tolerance and patience.
 I will please you.
 Rescue me not only because of who I am but who I'm to become.
 I will grow and mature.
 Rescue me not to revere yourself to others but because you want me.
 I will never let you down.
 Rescue me not with a hidden agenda but with a desire to teach me to trust.
 I will be loyal and true.
 Rescue me not to be chained or to fight but to be your companion.
 I will stand by your side.
 Rescue me not to replace one you've lost but to soothe your spirit.
 I will cherish you.
 Rescue me not to be your pet but to be your friend.
 I will give you my undying love.

Adoption Steps
 

When you decide you are ready to adopt an animal from the WCHS, and you are at least 18 years
of age, the following takes place:

• You come in and fill out an application in person.  If you own a home, please bring proof of home ownership with you.

• After completion of an application, you are required to wait 24 hours, which allows us time to verify your information, and also provides you, the potential adopter, time to be sure you are ready to give the animal a permanent and loving home.

• During those 24 hours we check with your landlord/verify your home ownership and verify your vet records.

• After adoption we follow-up on the animal to ensure you have followed the terms of
  the contact you signed and check to see if you have any questions we can assist with.
