Families who adopt through Da Vinci's Dream often tell us that clear communication, thoughtful placement, and foster-based care made a meaningful difference in their adoption experience. Because our animals live in foster homes rather than a shelter facility, adopters often receive more detailed insight into personality, routine, and individual needs before bringing a new companion home.
“Da Vinci’s Dream is a very professional rescue that clearly cares deeply about the animals in their care. I adopted two bonded dogs, and I was impressed with how detailed and relevant the application process was. When I picked them up, they were healthy, up to date on shots, and clearly well prepared for adoption. I would not hesitate recommending Da Vinci’s Dream.”
E. TAKACH
“The application is thorough and well thought out. The follow up interview allows for further details to be shared that better enable a successful adoption. After adoption, there was additional follow up to be sure all is going well. They go above and beyond to be sure a potential adopter understands the challenges of adopting a shelter baby.”
