Additional adoption info

We know our dogs well and we want to get to know you well too! Our experienced volunteers carefully review each application in order to ensure responsible and permanent placements. We strive to find the best home possible for each dog, based on the lifestyle of the applicant and the Ambassador’s individual personality and needs. If you have any questions about the requirements below, please contact us.
Applicants:
Must be 21 years of age to adopt an Ambassador
Own their home or have landlord approval
Live in the DC Metro Area

APBA Adoption Process:
Applications are reviewed by an experienced adoption counselor
You will be contacted for a phone conversation.
A home visit is scheduled so we can get to know you and determine together if the dog you have applied for will be a good fit.
If applicable, a dog-to-dog introduction will be performed and is required prior to any adoption

Adoption Fees: All adoption fees go directly to APBA to help pay for medical expenses, spaying/neutering, food and care.
Puppies (under 1 year of age) - $375.00
Dogs (1 year of age and over) - $325.00


Returns:
APBA wants to be sure that all of our matches are the best they can possibly be. For this reason, each adoption has a 14 day no-fault return policy. If you discover that the dog you've adopted is not the best fit for your family, you may return him or her to us and we will return your payment to you. If at any time after the initial two weeks you find that you are no longer able to keep your dog, you will have the option to place him or her in a new home of your choosing, and we will follow up with a new adoption contract. If you have not chosen an adopter for your dog, we ask that you keep the dog with you while we work to find a new home. If there is a timeline that needs to be met, we ask that you give us as much notice as possible to find a new family placement.

When you adopt a dog from us, you become part of our family, and we will be there to support you for the lifetime of your dog. We hope that you will be inclined to join us on our mission to save shelter dogs, educate the public, and support other dog owners!
