Additional adoption info

Our adoption process begins with our adoption application that must be submitted and filled in completely to be considered for approval. If an application appears to be a match for the particular dog or puppy, we arrange a phone interview. Once the phone interview takes place and we feel that it is a good match, we arrange for a meet and greet IF the dog is fostered in the northeast, but not many are. After that, references are checked and you will be contacted via email that you've been approved for adoption. At this time the adoption contract and the link to pay the adoption fee will be sent to you. Upon approval of application, the adoption fee will be due. At this time we take payment directly to our vet or to our paypal account.


The pre adopt questionnaire that you submit, can take up to 5 business days to process, depending on the volume of applications.
Our volunteer team work full time jobs, that being said, at times weekends are the best time for applicants to be contacted. We make every attempt to let you know the status of your application.
We do not base our approval on a first come first serve basis. We place each dog/pup best suited for your family.

You may be approved but Puppy may have already had another approved adopter. We constantly save puppies and dogs from high kill shelters here in Georgia, so your future Rescue may not be in Rescue if the pup you applied for has been adopted. We do have a waiting list you can be added on for specific breed etc.

We are an ALL VOLUNTEER organization. Your patience is appreciated. You may also contact our director who runs the rescue in Georgia for any questions you may have.
