Adoption Process
Step 1: Fill Out the Adoption Application
After finding the right dog online, you will recieve an adoption application from us. This application often includes questions about your living situation, experience with pets, and your plans for the adopted dog.
Step 2: Approval/ Meet and Greet
If your adoption application is approved, we will work with you to schedule an opportunity to meet the dog of your choosing in a controlled environment. We do this in order to assess compatability between you and the dog
Step 3: Adoption Contract and Payment
Once all parties agree on a specific dog, we'll have you sign an adoption agreement form. This outlines the responsibilites of both parties, including vaccinations, spaying/neutering, and other care requirements. You may also be required to pay any fees if necessary.
Step 4: Congratulations!
After all the paperwork is finished, it's time for the fun part - taking your new dog home! Ensure that you have all the supplies he or she needs; including food, bowls, leash, and a bed for your newest addition to the family.
