Additional adoption info
If you are interested in adopting one of our amazing dogs:
1. Please fill out an adoption application. We will be in touch shortly after receiving your application to review it with you.
2. If the application is approved, the adoption team will work with you and the foster to schedule a meeting. You are also welcome to attend our adoption events to meet our dogs, however, it is encouraged to email us first to ensure a particular dog will be attending the event.
3. After meeting the dog, if all parties agree the process should continue, a home visit wil be scheduled and you will be asked to have a list of supplies ready for your dog to come home.
4. If the home visit is successful, the adoption contract is signed, the adoption donation is collected, and your dog stays with you that day. During the 10-day trial period, you and your dog will decide if it is the absolute perfect fit. If it's not, you will work with the adoption coordinator to return the dog.
Adoption Fee - The adoption fee helps cover your dog's basic health needs including spay/neuter and vaccinations. Because many of our dogs come straight from the street, their medical needs are extensive. We spend an average of $500 on each pet for medical needs, training, and rehabilitation. For this reason, we kindly ask for the following minimum donations: $300 for puppies 12 months and under & $250 for adult dogs.
