Adoption Process

Once your application is submitted, our adoption team will review your application. We evaluate the temperament, activity level, and needs of each dog to determine the most suitable type of adoptive home for the dog. Dogs are placed in the home that best meets the dog’s needs, NOT on a “first come, first served” basis. Please allow 2-3 weeks for your application to be processed. If there’s a match then you will be contacted for a meet and greet. Our meet and greets are set up with our dogs and their foster families. This is a great opportunity for you to get to know our dog and for us to get to know you. If the meet and greet goes well and it’s a good fit all around then a home visit will be set up. If all goes well at the home visit then you will have the option to proceed to full adoption. We ask that you do not purchase any items for the dog until the adoption is fully approved. Once fully approved, you will be given a list of suggested items to purchase to welcome home your new family member. Please do keep in mind that none of our dogs can be held or reserved until after your adoption is fully approved. We adopt each dog to the first approved applicant. We understand that adopters look at multiple dogs with multiple rescues and we do the same for our dogs. We meet with multiple applicants to determine the best match for our dogs. If your selected dog is adopted before your application is approved, we will gladly help you select from one of our other wonderful dogs if there’s a match.
