You can fill out an adoption application without listing a dog's name and with no obligations. This application helps us to get to know you better by covering preliminary information. You will not be considered for the adoption of one of our dogs without filling out an adoption application. After submitting an application, you will receive an acknowledgment email from us explaining our adoption process and who you should contact with any further questions. Check your spam/junk folders if you don't receive this automatically generated email after you submit your application.
A dog is not listed as "Available for Adoption" for at least two weeks under our care. Sometimes dogs remain in foster care longer because of medical or behavioral reasons. Although you can submit an adoption application before a dog is listed as "Available for Adoption," your application might not be processed until that time.
The "Contact Us" email provided at the bottom of our homepage is for general information. This email account doesn't have any additional information other than what is listed on our website. Filling out an adoption application will provide further information on who to contact with specific questions.
