Adoption Procedure
Fill out our adoption survey so we can get to know more about what kind of dog would best fit your lifestyle. Email the completed form to the Adoption Counselor listed on the dog’s online profile found here, or fax it to 866-515-6828.
The Adoption Counselor will answer any questions you have about the dog and check your vet and/or personal references.
Once your survey is screened and approved, a time will be set for everyone in your household and any current dogs to meet the adoptable dog. As we do not currently have a shelter space, meetings are coordinated with the dog’s foster home or boarding facility.
If all goes well at the introduction, the Adoption Counselor will bring the dog to your home to do a home check and start a foster-to-adopt (FTA). The FTA is a 2-week period for serious and committed adopters to work in making the dog’s transition to a permanent member of your family successful. This is not considered a “trial period” and is not required but strongly encouraged, especially when there are other animals in the home. If for whatever reason signs arise of the dog not being able to transition successfully into your home, we will take the dog back.
We ask that you take at least a few days to get to know the dog, but you may finalize the adoption at any time during the FTA. Our adoption fee is $200, or $150 for dogs over age 7, and covers a wellness exam, spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm test, and microchip.
You will then receive friendly follow-up with an Adoption Counselor and all the support you and your dog may need!
*Please note: In an effort to ensure that each dog goes to the home that best suits their needs and personality, if we receive multiple surveys for the same dog, we will compare and decide which individual/family may be the best fit. We will only contact the applicant that we feel may provide the best home for the dog.
