Online Adoption Application

Adoption Requirements
Our adoption procedure includes an Application, followed by a Verification of References and a Home Visit. Our first reference call is made to the vet.
IMPORTANT: THE FOLLOWING VETTING IS A REQUIREMENT
Following are our vetting requirements and an applicant will not be considered if the following is not on record:
  • Current on all vaccinaions (Rabies and Parvo/Distemper Adult Booster)
  • Annual Heartworm Test and applicable medication

  • Please, to save us time and telephone expense, do not apply for one of our rescue dogs if this criteria has not been met. Please read the Adoption Process FAQ before completing an adoption application. You will find that it answers many of your questions.
    Please respond to every question on the application and understand that there is a reason for each question. We are searching for the best forever home for our fosters and your honest responses will help us make the best match for the foster and for your family. If any question below does not apply to you, simply write "na" (not applicable) in the available space. Incomplete applications can not be processed.
