Keeshond Rescue Central States's adoption process
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)

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
