Once you've filled out an adoption app:

Someone will contact you by phone or email to schedule a personal interview.

We will call your vet to do a reference check. Please let them know we’ll be calling. 

Once these steps are completed satisfactorily you will receive an approval email from us.

​​

We do take multiple applications per dog and the dog you applied for may be adopted by the time you are approved, if this is the case we will send you an email letting you know. We are not first come first serve. If you are selected for a meet and greet with one of our dogs, please plan to adopt on that same day. We do not hold dogs and if you arrive to the meet and greet without all humans and canine(s) that live in the home you will not be able to adopt and we will move onto the next applicant. We ONLY accept credit/debit card as a form payment for your adoption fee donation.
