Additional adoption info

DRC has strict adoption requirements and policies that are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of every doodle dog in our program.

• We require phone interviews, reference and vet checks and a home visit when possible.

• If you rent, you must have permission from your landlord to keep animals.

• If you have children under the age of 12, a PHYSICAL FENCE is required.

• DRC only adopts doodle dogs to families who will keep them as "inside" pets.

Our Adoption Donations range from: $200 - $395 depending on the age, health and temperament of each dog. In many and most cases a dog's expenses are far greater than the amount of the adoption fee we are requesting.

• DRC DOES NOT SHIP DOGS. Only on the rare occasions when our doodles are fostered in areas of the country where it is difficult to place them in appropriate homes locally will we consider transport. In those rare cases transport costs are in addition to the adoption fee and at the expense of the adopter.

During their stay within our rescue & foster program, our doodle dogs are first provided with a safe home environment, complete veterinary care, including immunizations, worming, HW testing and preventatives, flea and tick preventatives, spay/neuter and micro-chipping. Any and all health issues that DRC are aware of prior to adoption are evaluated/assessed and treated before placing that dog into a permanent home.

DRC addresses all behavioral issues through the practice of “positive reinforcement” training techniques implemented while the dog is in a foster home environment. This includes evaluation, stabilization, socialization, basic training, housebreaking, crate training, personality/activity compatibility with potential adoptive families.
