Adoption Process
Finding The Right Match is Everything
Our Process
Start by completing our adoption application. One of our volunteers will reach out—typically within 48 hours—for a quick phone call to learn more about your lifestyle and the type of dog you’re hoping to welcome home. This helps us ensure the match is a great fit for both you and the dog, setting the foundation for a happy, lifelong companionship.
​
We’ll also complete a brief virtual home visit to make sure you have a safe space for a dog. We happily adopt to apartments and townhomes; we simply require landlord permission if you rent. Our goal is to set you—and your future dog—up for success from the very beginning.
​
Next, you’ll have the chance to meet one or several of our adoptable dogs—either at an adoption event or by arranging a time that’s convenient for you and the foster. This is your opportunity to connect, ask questions, and find the companion who feels just right for your family.

Adoption Fees
Our adoption fee includes spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccines up to the date of adoption, and microchip registration in your name. These essentials ensure your new companion starts their journey home healthy, protected, and officially yours.
​
Please note that the adoption fee rarely covers the full cost of care we provide. Any donation above the fee directly supports our mission—helping us save more at-risk dogs, offer free spay/neuter services to the public, and assist other hardworking rescues in preventing accidental litters.
Your generosity truly makes a lifesaving difference.
