Fees, requirements & process

Requirements

Completion of an adoption screening form, veterinary reference checks (verifying current/past pets are altered and up to date on vaccinations), personal references, and a meet-and-greet with current dogs in the home.

How it works

Applicants submit an online adoption screening form, after which volunteers review the application and verify veterinary and personal references within 48 hours to a few days. If approved, a meet-and-greet is scheduled with the family and any existing resident dogs before final adoption approval is granted.
