Please answer ALL the questions, an incomplete application will result in a denied application.
- Filling out this application does not guarantee that the dog you choose will be available.
- Completion of this application does not guarantee adoption of a Mikey’s Chance Canine Rescue animal.
- We carefully review each application and place dogs based on a variety of criteria. Ultimately, we will always act in the best interest of the dog.
- We will conduct a background check on each adult living in the home.

- Mikey’s Chance also conducts home-checks to assure the best possible placement of all our rescue animals.
- PLEASE NOTE: It is our policy to only adopt to homes where the current pets:
  1. Are up to date on vaccinations;
  2. Have been either spayed or neutered; and
  3. Have received routine veterinary care.
  4. Fully fenced yard required for our large and/or highly active dogs.
  5. No children under 5 years old *
*exceptions to this policy can be made but VERY rarely. Exceptions will only be made at the Board of Directors discretion and is dependent on the both the dog and the family's experience.

Applications that do not meet this policy shall be denied.

If you are intending to keep the pet as a yard pet, we will typically deny the application. Our pets are raised as indoor animals, and our foster homes spend a tremendous amount of time socializing them as such. In some cases, we receive pets that are conditioned for indoor/outdoor or outdoor living only. The information will be located in the pet’s profile.

Our utmost goal is to place all Mikey’s Chance animals in loving forever homes, therefore we reserve the right to deny an application if for any reason we believe the applicant’s home is not the right fit for one of our Mikey’s Chance Canine Rescue dogs.

Depending on the dog you are adopting, the adoption fees are $450-$550.

Questions for Cat Owners

(If you don’t have a cat please answer the first question of this section and proceed to the next page) We understand that your cats are already members of your family, and that it’s important that they cohabit comfortably with the new dog. We do our best to evaluate our dogs thoroughly to determine whether they are safe with cats. If the dog presents a danger to your cats by behaving aggressively, we will accept responsibility for taking the dog back and finding it a new home. However, we need to know how committed you are to push through a potentially difficult transition period, while your cats come to terms with the presence of a new dog in your home. We are happy to help with introductions and advice to help ease the transition.
Do you own a cat?*

YesNo
If you own cat(s), have they been tested for feline leukemia?

YesNo
Have your cats been declawed?

YesNo
If yes, why were they declawed?
How do you plan to introduce your cats to the dog?
Cats can take a long time to accept a new canine family member, and sometimes they will react to a new dog by hiding, urinating in the house, acting scared, refusing to come in out of the rain, or a variety of other disturbing behaviors. How long are you willing to let your cats be angry and upset before you give up and return the dog?
Dogs that have been evaluated as safe with cats could chase cats that run from them. What will you do if the dog chases your cats, gets into their space, or annoys them in some other way?
