How to Adopt

Below, you'll find the appropriate application links as well as information on our adoption process.

Please Note:

We ask that you fill in all the required fields to be considered as an adopter as well as read the heading on all applications. We do not adopt out any rescue dog/puppy as birthday, holiday gifts. Our rescues are only placed with approved adopters willing to give a rescue dog a forever home.

Our adoption process:

• Submit an adoption application, linked above
• A phone interview
• Approval or nonapproval
• Provide a deposit to secure your dog before transport, deposit counts towards total adoption fee
• Pick up date and time at our monthly adoption events
• If you rent or own, we need either a copy of the lease stating your building is pet friendly or a letter of consent from your landlord.

Pre-Adopt Program

Before each monthly event, we will post dogs & cats that are available for adoption. All animals listed are available for what we call a "pre-adopt". Families may apply with our online application for the dog/cat they are interested in & once approved, will be asked to submit a deposit to secure their dog/cat. Families must commit to the dog/cat without a meet & greet as dogs/cats are not in the area until the event. The family will then pick up the their dog/cat at set date & time and be provided dog/cat contracts as well as vetting information.

If you chose not to pre-adopt, we still recommend submitting an online application to be an approved adopter at the event. We cannot guarantee the dog or cat you're interested in will be available at the event as they might be preadopted.

Event Adoptions:

We do same day adoptions during our monthly adoption events. We highly encourage submitting an application prior to an event.
