Additional adoption info

Meeting your Match
Our vision is to create permanent, healthy bonds between pets and their families. We work hard to make sure that our dogs go to the right match by following our adoption process outlined below.
Once you have decided to adopt, we will guide you through the following steps:

1. Fill out the Pet Adoption Application.
2. Q & A. Once we receive your application, an Adoption Coordinator will ask and answer any relevant questions.
3. Meet the dog. We will work with you to set up a time for you and your family to meet your potential forever friend. We may also schedule an in-home visit to see how the dog does in your home environment.
4. Sign the Contract. When both parties decide it’s a good match, we’ll help you make it official by signing our adoption contract. At this point we will also go over all of the dog’s medical records.
5. Adoption Fee. Our fee is $165 and all of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, age appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative or treated and on preventative, flea/tick free and dewormed.
