Additional adoption info

Adopting a New Family Member
Individuals seeking to adopt a rescued Keeshond from us must complete an application with references, only one of whom may be a family member. Reference checks include three personal and one vet reference. A home visit will also be conducted if possible. Please review the complete details of this page before beginning an application.

Adoptive families are required to visit the foster care site, located in Urbana, IL so that an appropriate match between family and dog can be made. We request potential adopters to bring along current pets as a part of that matching process.

All of our dogs are up to date on vaccinations; heartworm tested and on preventative; on flea and tick prevention; are spayed or neutered prior to adoption; and are microchipped as a form of permanent identification.

Adoptions require a contract specifying humane treatment of the dog and complete vet care for the duration of the dog’s life. The contract also specifies that all rescued Keeshonden that have been in the care of this organization must be returned to the organization should it become impossible for the adopter to provide necessary care and shelter. A rescued Keeshond cannot be disposed of by the adopting party without consultation and written authorization from this organization. The organization will inform the public on properly choosing and caring for a Keeshond.

An adoption fee of a minimum of $200 is required. On occasion, we may have puppies available. The adoption fee for a young puppy (nine months old or younger) is $300. Some dogs are in foster care of several weeks or even months due to some medical condition they may have when they come to us with. Puppies require vaccinations every three weeks up to the age of 16 weeks. While these adoption fees do not cover all the expenses of providing care to our rescue dogs, it does help offset medical expenses, food, grooming, and other financial burdens of fostering.

Our adoption application can be completed in numerous ways:

1. Request an application by contacting Monica Johnson (see below)

2. Complete the application online. http://www.keesrescue.org/adopt
(will automatically link to a secure, online form)

3. Alternatively, you may copy and paste the application from this website into an email message (or send as an attachment) and email it to monicalj49@comcast.net
