Additional adoption info

All of our dogs are in private foster homes, so an application for adoption must be completed before a meet and greet with the dog can be scheduled. We do not have a physical shelter that can be visited. All applications will be reviewed by the adoptions committee. If more than one application for a dog is received, the dog will be matched with the best possible home. We adopt to indoor homes only. Adoption fees are $250 for spayed or neutered puppies and adult dogs, $125 for senior dogs, and $350 for puppies to young to be altered, with $100 refunded to the adopter upon proof of spay or neuter.
