Additional adoption info

Submitting an application does NOT guarantee adoption. If you apply for a certain dog but don’t get it, please understand that we may receive many applications for the same animal. We will always try to place the appropriate dog in the appropriate home.

We do adopt out-of-state but it is more complicated and local adoptions are preferred when possible.
