How To Adopt  

If you’re interested in adopting or fostering any of our dogs, please fill out an online adoption application on our website. This is required before a meet and greet will be scheduled with any dog(s) of interest.

Please be sure to include your landlord’s name and phone number on the application so that we can verify that you are permitted to have a dog. We will also need to know if there are any breed restrictions where you
live.

Once we receive your application, a volunteer will review it and contact you to set up a day/time for you to possibly meet the dog(s) of interest.

Depending on the amount of applications we receive, it may take a couple of days before you hear back from someone. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

1. Select a dog that interests you and fits your lifestyle. For puppies under 11 months old, children in the home must be at least 6 years old.

2. Everyone in the household needs to spend some time interacting with the dog. If you already have a dog in your household, please bring your dog over to meet the dog you’ve selected. All dogs and people in the home must meet the dog you’ve selected.

3. Fill out an online adoption application form (click to open). (Note: Filling out an application DOES NOT guarantee an adoption.)

4. An Adoption Counselor will review the application. Upon approval of the application, you will be contacted to submit pictures/videos to confirm that the fencing and gates are secure, and the yard is safe for the dog.

5. No dog is ever adopted from the program without a home check.

6. If more than one application is submitted for a given dog, our adoption committee will select the home that is best suited for the dog’s needs.

7. The entire adoption process can take up to one week.

8. The adoption process is concluded when an Adoption Contract is completed and the non-refundable adoption fee is paid.

9. Our non-refundable adoption fees per dog are:

$300 for puppies up to 6 months old
$250 for puppies over 6 months old and under 1 yr old
$225 for dogs 1 yr old and under 8 yrs old
$175 for senior dogs 8 yrs old and up

If you can increase the adoption fee for the dog you are adopting, please do so. Any amount over the adoption fee is tax-deductible. If you cannot, please remember us during the holiday gift giving season and for donations of dog toys, dog beds, blankets, and other items all rescue groups need. But, most importantly, PLEASE remember to tell your friends who FALL IN LOVE with your dog (because they will) to ADOPT – don’t breed or buy.
