Adoption Application
Please fill out this form, sign the e-signature with your mouse, and click submit when it is complete. Completing this application is a step in the process of acquiring a dog from Prison Paws Partnership ~ Humane Society of Del Norte, but it does not guarantee you will get a dog without further review. Our adoptions are not on a first-come first-served basis. Dogs will be matched to adopters through the application process to best suit the needs of both. Please keep in mind that (for now) there are only four dogs available from each round of training and we expect multiple applications for each dog. If you are accepted as an adopter, you will be required to sign an adoption contract.

One Application can be used for one or more dogs. Please be specific about which dog(s) you are interested in.

ADOPTION FEE: The PPP/HSDN adoption fee is $150 which includes the dog being spayed/neutered prior to adoption, current on shots, current on preventive treatment for fleas/ear mites/worms, a small bag of food, a free vet check-up (if adoption is local), training, & Canine Good Citizen Certificate.

RENTAL AGREEMENT: If you rent your home, you may be required to supply a rental agreement proving that pets are allowed.

MEET AND GREET: We are checking with the prison to see if it's possible to set-up "meet and greets" somewhere on prison grounds. If you have other dogs, we request that you bring them along.

HOME CHECK: A home check will be required to make certain your home is an appropriate match for the dog you are interested in adopting.

FEEDBACK: Although not required, the inmates who lovingly trained your dog always like to know how they are doing in their forever home. A feedback letter thanking them and letting them know how your dog is doing in his/her new home would be greatly appreciated, with photos if possible. Inmates will not receive your address if you choose not to disclose.
Please choose the dog/dogs you are interested in adopting.*

Please provide any other relevant information you think we need to know about placing a dog in your home.
I agree that the information I have provided is true.

I understand that applying does not guarantee adoption.

I understand that there may be multiple applications for each dog and if I am not chosen as an adopter for the dog I have applied for, I will be able to apply for a different dog in the future.

I understand that adoptions through HSDN/PPP are not first-come first-serve. Dogs are matched to adopters through the application process to best suit the needs of both.

I understand that the $150 adoption fee is to help cover some of the costs of vetting and caring for the PPP dogs and will help HSDN/PPP continue this amazing program.
