Adoption Request Form

At The Dank Dog Collective™ we believe in the humanization of dogs & strive to create opportunities for working dogs to find their hooman soulmates and furever home. We are so proud of the hard work that our dank dogs put in everyday to train, rehabilitate, domesticate, and socialize amongst each other and with our ranch staff. We are super stoked that you are interested in adopting a Dank Dog!

The adoption process is the most rewarding experience for us and the dogs. Especially when we see them feel at home, safe, and their purpose energized with their pawesome adoptive pawrents & furever families. We help set you and our dank dogs up for adoption and transition success. Which includes filling out this form as your first step and then scheduling a series of meet n' greets, training sessions, and nesting to welcome home your Dank Dog Rescue.

Please take the time to fill out and submit the form below with as much detail as you can and someone will contact you ASAP to schedule your first meet and greet! If you have any questions please call or text us at 760-297-3031 or email rescue@thedankdog.com

There will be an Adoption Homecoming Donation Fee ($300 per dog) upon mutual acceptance and decision to adopt a Dank Dog. This fee will help in the curation of a "Dank Dog Furever Home Package" for both hooman and dank dog to set up the furever home rehoming transition for success. It is also tax deductible as we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit dog rescue recognized by local and federal governments.

We reserve the right to deny any adoption request that is submitted and will vet each application diligently & fairly. This holds true throughout each stage of the adoption furever home process as well. If at any point The Dank Dog Ranch Rescue representatives deem the adoptable dog is not a match or the potential pawrents are unfit we reserve the right to deny. This application is not a guarantee for adoption approval.

I have read The Dank Dog Ranch & Rescue Furever Home Adoption Program online here: https://thedankdog.com/about-1. And I understand the commitment, resources, and love required to proceed with the program.
