Submit Application

Additional adoption info

You will start the adoption paperwork by submitting an online application at www.sherylsden.org Be sure to list the names of all the dogs you are interested in.

Please remember to contact your vet to provide consent for them to speak with us. We promptly process the application and notify you by email when we have completed the processing.

This process is usually within 48 hours. Upon approval, we contact you via telephone to discuss your interest in detail.

We will discuss all medical care given and required regarding the dog you are interested in.

Thereafter, we will promptly set an appointment for you to meet the dog. Our adoption Contract will be forwarded to you in advance so that you can review same before leaving your home.

We ask that you bring the completed Contract and an adoption donation in the amount of $325.00 to your appointment. Your donation at the time of adoption ensures that Sheryl’s Den will be able to continue to help more animals in need. Should any pup not be spayed/neutered, there will be a 50.00 REFUNDABLE deposit. You will get that refunded once proof of spay/neuter is returned to us as per our agreement.

Upon adopting, you will receive a tax receipt, complete medical records, information regarding pet insurance, etc. Please remember, when you adopt you are making a lifetime commitment to your new fur kid/pet.

About Sheryl's Den

The mission of Sheryl’s Den Animal Rescue Inc., a charitable, not-for-profit 501c3 organization, is to rescue and supply animals, regardless of age or medical condition, with love, shelter, food, human companionship, medical care, and spay-neuter services until permanent placement is secured into a pre-screened loving home.

Sheryl’s Den will accept animals who are either abandoned in a shelter or living with an owner who can no longer supply care. We will also participate in rescue and placement of animals who are culled from the Puppy Mills or purchased at Puppy Mill auctions.

We wish to eliminate the euthanasia of healthy adoptable animals. We do not accept euthanasia as a means of population control for animals. We believe each animal's life is meaningful and each deserves a loving home. Educating and informing the public about the commercial dog industry, over population, and the need to spay and neuter companion animals is our goal. Responsible pet ownership is also very important to us, as well as reviving the spirit of volunteerism across our country.

Our volunteers are willing to foster or otherwise assist in this rescue effort. We are supported entirely by donations, adoption fees, and fund raisers.

Our goal is to ensure that the animals are not needlessly euthanized anywhere in America because of the lack of medical care or an available, loving home

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.
