Additional adoption info
Our adoption process normally includes an online information form, a telephone interview, vet reference checks, a visit with the dog here, a home visit, and post-adoption follow-up. All dogs will receive veterinary care appropriate for their age and condition (including vaccinations, heartworm screening, spay/neuter and treatment of medical conditions). We ask that adopters contribute a minimum $200 tax deductible donation, which covers about 1/2 of our program costs.
Adoption requirements vary because each dog has individual needs that we seek to meet (i.e. some dogs love other dogs, some don't; some need a fence, some don't; some are fine left alone during the day, others are not; and so on). Our goal is to match good dogs up with individuals and families who can provide them with a loving home and a wonderful life.
Please note that we rarely adopt small dogs to families with very young children as young children often view small pets as toys and can be overly rough, resulting in either an excessively shy dog or one who is snappy.
