Adoption Process
Our adoption procedures are designed to promote transparency and responsible pet ownership.
1. Dive into the excitement by completing our online or in person adoption application available at our events or right here on our website!
2. As soon as we receive your completed application, our amazing team will quickly reach out to schedule an adoption interview over the phone or via video call.
3. After your interview, get ready for the fun part! You'll be invited to meet and greet the adorable dog(s) you’re interested in.
4. Once your application is fully approved, we’ll arrange for our wonderful rescue dog be delivered right to your home. Our dedicated volunteers will complete a home check and make a final decision on welcoming your new furry friend!
Out-of-state adoptions may require a video call meet-and-greet and a virtual home check before transport is confirmed.
