Please read the following!

To be considered as an adopter, you must:
    •Be 21 years of age or older.
    •If you rent your home you must have consent from your landlord to have a dog.
    •Have all dogs and cats in the home spay or neutered, if they are 6 months or older, unless there are medical reasons for not doing so.
    •Agree to have a home visit done by one of our volunteers. The volunteer will need to see the area of the home where the dog will be allowed and also visit with family
    members and current pets.  

You must also agree to the following conditions, which are included in the adoption contract:
    •Agree to spay/neuter the dog within 1 month of adoption or the date specified on the adoption contract (at age 6 months for puppies) if applicable.
    •Be able and willing to spend time/money necessary to provide training, medical treatments and proper care for the entire lifetime of the dog.
    •Provide the dog a collar and name tag to be worn at all times.
    •Never allow the dog to be unleashed when on public streets, parks, etc., and never transport in the back end of an open truck without proper harnessing.
    •Allow dog to sleep indoors and be part of the family.


Our rescue organization is an all (unpaid) volunteer organization. For each application we receive it takes us at minimum 3 hours to review, contact all personal and veterinary
references, and make a decision on approval of it. Depending upon volunteer availability, this can take us several days to accomplish, especially when we receive many of applications
or if we have difficulties reaching references.

An approved application means that the applicant is approved to adopt a dog from our organization, it is not a guarantee that the applicant will be allowed to adopt the dog specified
on the application. We often receive many applications for small dogs, so please don't be too disappointed if your application is approved but another approved applicant is selected
to adopt the dog. We strive to do our best, and always take the best interest of the dog into consideration.
