Rescue FAQs

Additional adoption info

The first step to adoption is to send us an email to receive a link to our online application. Once the application is received, it will be followed up by a phone interview if we feel that your home could potentially be a good fit for one of our dogs. The phone interview will be followed up by vet and personal reference checks as well as a home interview. Our adoption donations are between $275-$300 and there is a transport fee of $145. All adopters are required to sign an adoption contract.
