Adoption non-negotiable requirements: a fenced-in yard and a home visit
Taina came to us from the Island Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, where an epic animal welfare crisis is present. Taina is a shy, spayed, fully vetted, current on shots, and microchipped Chihuahua Mix. She is very sweet and engaging once she realizes that no harm will come to her from interacting with humans. Taina relates well with other dogs. we don't know how she will interact with cats, or children as we have been unable to evaluate her interaction with either.
Residents applying to adopt one of our rescues MUST have a fenced-in yard (no electric fences) and be willing to allow us to come with the dog to their residence to complete a home visit. We accept (2) applications per dog. Applications are evaluated in the order and stamp time and day they are received. We do not bump residents, nor change the requested dog if somebody has submitted an application for a dog and later wants to change to a different one, your initial application will be used but you will not be considered before a person that had applied for that animal first, you could then become either number 2 or any other number in our list.
Residents from Panama City, Panama City Beach, are informed that we will only travel to complete the home visit on Monday’s, and this is assuming we have two applications for this area, otherwise, we will complete a virtual home visit
WE no longer engage in out-of-state adoptions.

Once we receive your application, we evaluate it. If the organization's requirements are met, i.e., fenced-in-yard and willingness to allow the home visit, we then contact you to schedule the home visit. There is no compromise on your part to adopt the dog or on ours to allow you to embrace the dog. This visit could be either in person or virtual, depending on the distance between your home and our location.
We travel up to 1 hour from our location to the residents' address. Our primary interest is to meet you, evaluate your yard, and see how the dog responds to you, your family, and any other animal in the household.
These visits often occur either Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday between 10 to 11 am or 3 to 4 pm during the winter season. If everything goes as expected and the dog appears to be a good match for you and your family, and you feel this to be the case, and we have no objections, we proceed with the adoption. We will provide you with all the pet's veterinary records and any other information on the pet.
Our adoption fee ranges from $ 225.00 to $325.00. Adoption Donations (fees) are determined by the cost of vetting and transporting the dog via airline/ground to our facility.
When visiting your household, we will comply with CDC recommendations. I will wear a face mask and gloves, and we will meet in your backyard. It is as much a precaution to protect you as well as me as I am Immunocompromised. I hope you understand!
