Adoption Application

Red's House Rescue Network

Dog Adoption Application
Red's House Rescue Network is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit, animal welfare organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of stray, neglected and abused animals. Red's House Rescue Network is completely funded through fundraising efforts and public donations. All of our pets are cared for by foster homes and receive complete medical care, which includes worming, vaccinations, spaying/neutering and microchipping prior to their adoption.
This questionnaire is designed to help RHRN and yourself determine if a specific dog is the right one for you and your household. All adopting parties are required to complete this form prior to adoption. Red's House Rescue Network reserves the right to deny any adoption based on answers to this questionnaire and/or interviews prior to adoptions! This application does not replace a phone interview with an RHRN representative, or vie versa. We value both our dogs and the lovely people willing to give them their second chance!
