Adoption Process

Apply. Get to know our available dogs by checking them out on our website, following them on our Facebook page, or meeting them at one of our events. Once we receive your application, please allow 2-3 days for us to get back to you. We will review your application, contact your vet reference, and then reach out to set up a time and location to meet.

Meet & Greet. During a meet and greet, you can bring your family members or resident dog(s) to meet your potential new adoptee. This is usually a short visit for an hour or so, just to get a sense of how you connect with the dog and if the foster and your resident dog(s) seem to get along.

Trial. The trial period will be an overnight visit in your home, usually for 2-3 days. This time allows you to get to know the dog in your own environment and see if he or she is a good fit for your family and lifestyle (and vice versa). We always want to ensure the best match possible for all of our rescues!

Adopt. If you decide you want to adopt after the overnight trial, it’s time to fill out your adoption contract, make an adoption donation, and take a new family photo! We require a minimum donation of $200 to adopt.
