Adoption Process

The adoption process begins with the submission of an adoption application. If the application is approved, we will schedule a meeting for the prospective adopter to meet the dog. Following this, a home visit will be conducted to ensure a suitable environment for the dog. The dog will then enter the adopter's home for a trial period of at least three weeks. To finalize the adoption, an adoption agreement and release must be signed, and an adoption fee of $125 is required, or $75 for senior or special needs animals.
