Adoption App

The adoption application is below the general information on this page.

We are glad you have made the decision to adopt a dog!

Please apply for no more than 2 dogs per application.

Completing the adoption application does NOT obligate you to adopt the dog, however, it does reserve the dog until the processing is complete and it is decided whether or not you will adopt the dog.

If you are sure you want the dog, complete the application. All questions must have an answer or the application will not go through when you click SUBMIT. Answers will be verified. Click submit at the bottom of the application when completed.

If you do not own your home, we MUST have approval from your landlord before we can adopt out a dog to you.

We contact your veterinarian to see if current pets are up to date on vaccinations.

The adoption fees vary and are specific to each dog taking personality, training, age, and health into consideration. The adoption fee pays for:

Spay/neuter
Rabies and 5 way vaccination
Heartworm test
Dental if needed
Flea treatment and deworming
Microchip and Collar

Unless otherwise stated our dogs are NOT POTTY TRAINED, or leash trained.

Part of processing your application is to remove the dog from our website which reserves it for you until a decision is made.

We process adoption applications on a first come, first serve basis. If your application comes in first and you are approved, you will have an opportunity to adopt. If you are second and the first approved applicant does not adopt, you will be moved to the first position. We only process in this manner. We still seek to put the dog in the best possible home. So the first step is to get your application in!

IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM US within 48 hours, please check your junk/spam folder. If there is nothing there send us an email at adoptions.scdr@gmail.com to let us know.

Thank you so much for choosing to adopt a Second Chance dog!
