Additional adoption info

Fill out a questionnaire. We will get back
With you with 72 hours and let u know if we feel it is a good match and if not why. Once the questionnaire is approved we move on to a meet and greet. Most of our screening is done “behind the scenes” but if we have concerns or questions about fencing, we may schedule a visit to the home to ensure the home is safe and dog proof. Each pet is treated on an individual basis and we feel each home may able to provide different needs. We take each case, on individually and believe in an open conversation and adoption process
