Adoption Process

Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our rescue dogs or cats! We take our adoptions very seriously as we want to provide our rescues with homes that best meet their needs. We want our foster dogs and cats to be the best fit for your home too, which is why we ask that you fill out our non-binding adoption PLEASE READ PROFILES PRIOR TO FILLING OUT AN APPLICATION. Requirements will be stated in each dog's Petfinder profile that can be found by clicking on "Adoptable Dogs."

Our cat adoption process is the same process as our dogs. We encourage you to read their profiles before applying and we bring all cats to the home for meet and greets before finalizing the adoption.

Adoption fees are $75 and includes spay/neuter, combo test, vaccines, preventativ, microchip, and dewormer.

If approved, we will call for an interview. Then, the foster and potential adopter will set up a date and time for a meet-and-greet at your home. We will bring the dog to your home to ensure the dog is a good fit for your family.

Following the approved home visit, the adopter can decide if they would like to proceed and complete the adoption process. The adoption is complete following the payment of the non-refundable adoption fee and the signing of the adoption contract (provided at time of adoption).

We offer a foster-to-adopt scenario on a case-by-case basis. Foster-to-adopt means we allow you to foster the dog in your home for a predetermined amount of time following a signed contract and a check that we will hold until you decide whether or not to proceed with the adoption. 

We will notify you either way. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
