Additional adoption info

You may request an adoption application by sending an email to: NeedfulSoulsDogRescue@gmail.com

We do not accept the online application. We require additional information on our adoption application.

Adoption fees apply depending on the age of the dog, but range between $200 (seniors) and $350 per dog. Puppies under the age of 6 months require a spay/neuter deposit.

We require reference and vet checks along with a home visit before we consider adopting any of our dogs by a signed contract.
Our dogs are cared for in private foster homes and are NOT in a shelter set up or public facility to visit. Once the adoption has been approved, a meet and greet with a dog can be scheduled. If it is a good fit, the adoption can then be finalized.
