2025 Wright Way Rescue Adoption Event

To help with this mission, we are co-hosting an adoption event with WWR at Lurvey Home & Garden.

Wright-Way Rescue staff will be on hand to help answer any questions about the pets or adoption. If you find the perfect new addition to your family at the event, the WWR staff can complete your adoption on-site!

If you are considering adopting, please be sure to fill out the Wright-Way Rescue adoption application prior to the event. This will help to streamline the adoption process when you are at the event.

Our Mission: Wright-Way Rescue is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization. Our mission is to reduce the number of homeless pets euthanized in the Midwest each year through an adoption program, community education, promotion of spaying and neutering, and a veterinary medicine program.
