I saw a dog on your website that I am interested in adopting, what do I need to do to be considered? The dog I am interested in is hundreds of miles away from me. Do you do long distance adoptions? In what areas do you do Rescue work?
S'Wheat Rescues only rescues and adopts animals in the contiguous United States. Meaning, simply, we do  
not rescue or adopt in foreign countries or in Alaska or Hawaii.


Will you ship or transport the dog to me?
Can I meet the dog prior to adoption? Can I talk to the previous owners of the dog I wish to adopt? I sent in a adoption application a long time ago but no one has called, why?
