Additional adoption info
Step 1
Fill out an application at our website. Do this as soon as possible.
Step 2
Submit your adoption application to us. It may take 24-48 hours before your application is processed and you receive a response back.
Step 3
If your application is approved, we will email you to schedule a "Meet & Greet appointment with deposit for Saturday. We only do appointments and adoption events on Saturday. Our cut off day/ time is Thursday at 5pm to set up any appointments for that week on Saturday. Please make sure you take any family members and other dogs to see how the initial introduction goes. That makes the entry into the new home easier for the dog and for you. You will be given a time and day, usually Saturday to meet your prospective pet. You will be given a one hour appointment window where you can come to meet them. When you get an appointment time and day the dog is locked in for you to see only and will not be released to any one else.
Step 4
Meet your prospective new pet. Spend time time with them and see how it goes.
Step 5
Contract & Payment. You must sign an adoption contract and provide payment. If your "Meet & Greet" goes well, you will complete an adoption contract at the appointment and can take the dog home then. We ask for a suggested adoption donation to help us cover spay/neutering, shots, medical treatment, food, and supplies. These suggested adoption donation amounts only partially cover the cost of expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible. Then you and your new best friend live happily ever after. It's as simple as that!
Step 6
Take your new best friend home!
It can take a good 72 hrs for a dog to really adjust to his/her new environment. A lot really depends on the dog's past so the prospect of adopting should be well-thought-out & the commitment should be taken seriously.
