Dalmatian Rescue of Puget Sound is a network of people who are passionate about Dalmatians. Our mission is to get them out of shelters where they run the risk of being euthanized. We work with shelters and other rescue groups in the Pacific Northwest and sometimes beyond. We bring them into our homes, and give them the loving care they deserve. When we can’t take them into our homes, we look for people who can. We look for ways to get them needed medical care, even if it means we pay for it ourselves. We carefully screen our adoptive homes, seeking a home that is a good match for both the dog and the family, in an effort to make it it a lifetime home. We also educate the public about Dalmatians, even if it means discouraging interested adopters.
1. Fill out the adoption inquiry form. 2. If your home seems like a good match for an available dog, we will contact you to discuss it. 3. If you are still interested we arrange for you to meet the dog. 4. You come for a meeting. 5. If the meeting is a success, we arrange for a home visit and trial stay. The trial period is typically one week, but can be extended. 6. After a successful trial, you sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. 7. You live happily ever after with your new best friend. 8. If at any point after the adoption, you are unable to keep your dog, we will take it back and find a new home.
