Adoption App

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

PLEASE READ!

OUR DOGS ARE NOT POTTY TRAINED UNLESS WE STATE OTHERWISE.

Do not apply to be preapproved unless you are ready to adopt. If you will be ready at a later time, please apply then.

Please talk to your family and make sure everyone is okay with adopting before you apply. If you are sure you want a 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
Surgeries

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

If you are preapproved, you will not need to submit another application for a year. If you see a dog you want, you can email us at [email protected]

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 [email protected] to let us know.
