Spring Creek Animal Rescue (SCAR) believes that loving, safe homes come in many forms. We recognize that traditional animal welfare practices, such as mandatory home visits, can create barriers and unintentionally exclude families that could be a pet’s ideal match.  

SCAR is committed to equitable, inclusive adoption practices that focus on an adopter’s ability to meet an animal’s physical, emotional, and medical needs—rather than on housing aesthetics, income level, or conformity to a single definition of a “perfect” home.

Instead of home visits, SCAR uses a relationship-based, trust-centered adoption process, which includes honest conversations about lifestyle, expectations, and challenges; discussion of the animal’s known needs, limitations, and behaviors; and foster-to-adopt trial periods. Our goal is mutual success, not perfection. If the pet you adopt from us does not fit your lifestyle or family, we will always welcome them back into the rescue. If you’re still looking for a pet, we are happy to help you continue your search and apply their original adoption fee to a more suitable animal in our care.
