Painted Paws for Veterans's adoption process
Additional adoption info
All adopters are required to fill out an application of interest/adoption. This application does not obligate you to adopt one of our dogs. Nor does it guarantee that you will be able to adopt. It just gives us the information we need to help you make the best match with our available dogs.
Our adoption fee is a tax deductible donation to our Spay/Neuter fund. This is to help with future dogs that come to the ranch. All adopted dogs/puppies come with spay/neuter, vaccinations and micro chips.
All adoptions are subject to a home check. We are not coming to judge you or your home. We just want to make sure that your home is a safe environment for the dog. Both the Application and home check must be completed before you can meet any available canines from our program.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
