You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Story
🐾 Meet Maizey 🐾 Maizey is a small, gentle girl who is just beginning to learn how wonderful life can be. She came from a difficult situation where she lived with many animals and had limited positive interaction with people, so the world is still a big and sometimes overwhelming place for her. 💛 Personality & Progress Maizey is very shy, but incredibly sweet. She prefers to move at her own pace and does best with calm, patient people who understand that trust takes time. She is food motivated, which is a great tool for helping her build confidence through positive experiences. 🐶 Dog Friends Maizey is comfortable with dogs her size and truly blossoms when she has a confident, friendly small dog to help show her the ropes. A confident canine companion is required in her new home to help her feel safe. She is unsure about larger dogs and we have not seen her with cats yet. 🏡 Home Environment Maizey is looking for a quiet, adult home in a low-traffic neighborhood. She is not suited for city living or busy environments and will thrive in a calm, predictable routine. ✨ Maizey has so much potential and will reward a patient adopter with a deeply special bond. Watching her gain confidence and discover joy will be incredibly meaningful for the right home. Start the process to meet sweet Maizey today!

Story
Meet Mister 💙 Mister is a small dog with a big heart who is just beginning to discover how wonderful life can be. He came to us severely matted, but after a much-needed makeover and lots of care, he’s feeling so much better and ready to start his next chapter. Mister has made remarkable progress with us and has truly surprised staff and volunteers with how quickly his confidence has grown. He can still be nervous when meeting new people or facing unfamiliar situations, but with patience, predictability, and gentle encouragement, he warms up and shows just how resilient he is. Because of his past, Mister is looking for a dog-experienced home. He can be unsure about handling and does exhibit some resource guarding, particularly around items he values. For this reason, Mister would do best in a home with teens and older children who can respect his space and understand his signals. Treats and toys are the way to Mister’s heart. He especially loves his stuffies and has been having a blast pouncing on them in the snow and tossing them in the air. These simple joys have helped him build trust and learn that people can be kind, fun, and safe. Once he’s comfortable, Mister reveals himself to be an active, playful, and very cuddly little guy who loves being close to his people. Mister would do best in a home without cats. Mister needs a home willing to give him the time, structure, and support he needs to continue blossoming. In return, he’ll offer deep loyalty, growing confidence, and a truly special bond.
