Additional adoption info

ALL ADOPTIONS IN ONTARIO ONLY PLEASE!
All families are asked to fill out an adoption application to start the meet and greet process. Please email dcdgavel@gmail.com and one will be emailed to you.
Once the adoption is approved, an adoption agreement must be signed. If the dog is not fixed, then a spay/neuter agreement must be also be signed. It is the responsibility of the new owners as well as the cost to fix the dog at age ready. All adopted dogs are neuter/spay (if age ready), utd shots, dewormed, microchipped (if age ready), and vet checked. A fenced yard is preferred to keep the dog safe. If no fenced yard, the family must prove they can keep the dog secure to be considered. All adopted dogs must be enrolled in positive reinforcement obedience dog training classes within 60 days after adoption.
