FOCCAS: Dog Adoption Application

FOCCAS Dog Application

Coos Bay, Oregon
FOCCAS accepts multiple applications and selects homes based on BEST FIT for each pet.

Due to volume of responses, we may not be able to respond to each application. If you are not chosen, we will keep your application on file for the future.

All pets are spayed or neutered before the adoption is finalized, no exceptions.

Submitting this application does not mean you are commiting to a pet, nor does it guarantee you will get that pet. It is simply a tool we use to help both you and us identify a good potential match for your family and lifestyle.

A successful adoption depends on selecting the right pet for your household and a good understanding of the pet's needs and care requirements. Please help us with this process by answering the following questions fully and completely. THANK YOU!

THIS APPLICATION IS FOR FOCCAS ANIMALS - WE ARE NOT THE COOS COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER.
