Additional adoption info
Application
First, individuals can review adoptable animals by clicking “Adopt” at the top of the screen. All potential adopters must fill out an adoption application under the same tab. The application includes two non-family references as well as information on the potential adopter’s landlord and designated veterinarian. References will be contacted separately to obtain the requisite information.
Meet and Greet
Once the application and references have been successfully reviewed and approved, a NPAR representative will reach out to the potential adopter to set up a meet and greet with the dog.
Home Visit
The home visit is the final important piece in identifying a safe home for all of our dogs. A NPAR representative will schedule a visit that fits your schedule. We ask that all family members are present.
Contract
The contract can be signed at the conclusion of the home visit or at a later date.
Payment can also be arranged at this time, either online or via check. The adoption fee takes care of the cost to spay/neuter, feed, and transport our rescues. Some adopters also choose to make a donation at this time.
Payment: Online or by check
Unless a veterinarian advises otherwise, our dogs all receive: vet exam, spay or neuter, microchip, DHPP, bordatella, rabies vaccs, fecal exam, heartworm test, deworming, flea/tick preventative, and heartworm preventative, as well as additional services, as needed. Heartworm positive dogs also undergo heartworm treatment, which the rescue covers. The adoption fee covers these costs as well as any local boarding when foster homes are full and the costs of transport.
