1. View our available dogs online and read through our adoption requirements below.
2. Complete the online application on our website. We will respond within 72 hours to confirm receipt. We review applications in the order they are received until we find the best fit. Please only apply when you are ready to potentially adopt.
3. We will email prospective adopters a dog’s foster questionnaire and more information about the pick up process. At that point, please tell your veterinarian and references that we will be contacting them. Many veterinarian’s will not release information until you call them to give them permission to speak with us.
4. Once an application is approved, the dog’s medical paperwork, adoption contract, and microchip information will be emailed and reviewed the day before adoption via a Zoom meeting. Adoption payment must be made via PayPal, Venmo or Zelle. For the safety and well-being of our adopters and volunteers, we are not offering in-person meetings prior to adoption.
5. Pick up of a dog starts a 48 hour 100% refund return period. There is also a standard 7 day return period where the adoption fee is refundable minus $75. For an additional $25 fee, our quarantine facility can bathe dogs before they go home.
