Their adoption process

Both Adopters and Fosters are required to complete an application that includes two personal references and a vet reference (if applicable). When reference checks are complete, a home visit will be scheduled for applicants deemed a feasible potential match.

Our adoption fees are age-based; $150 for senior dogs (7 years and older); $175 for dogs 1-6 years; $200 for dogs under 1 year of age.

If you are 65 years or older, the adoption fee is waived when you adopt a senior dog. All Dogs Forever dogs are vaccinated against rabies and distemper/parvo, tested for heartworm and Lyme disease, and are microchipped. They are on heartworm preventative.

All Dogs Forever dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption.

Adoption steps

  1. Meet the Pet
    We recommend that potential adopters come to our Safe Place shelter on any Saturday, between 10am and 2pm, to meet our available dogs.
  2. Submit Application
    Potential adopters/fosters over 21 may submit an application online, via snailmail, or in person.
  3. Approve Application
    If your application (with references) is approved, you will be notified. We are all volunteers so please be patient with us.
  4. Home Check
    If you already have other animals, an additional off-site meet & greet may be required to ensure compatibility.
  5. Sign Adoption Contract
    The adoption fee (based upon the dog's age) must be paid when the adoption contract is signed.
  6. Take the Pet Home
    You will be asked to provide our Adoption Committee with updates regarding how your new family member is adapting.

More about this shelter

Dogs Forever Safe Place is an Adoption Guarantee shelter where volunteers care for homeless dogs who need a second chance for a better life.

Some of our dogs come from kill shelters where they were at risk of being euthanized or from other Iowa counties that have no animal shelter.

Dogs Forever provides a refuge, a sanctuary, until the Adoption Committee finds their forever home.
