Adoption Application

Adoption Application
Bow Wow Breakout is an all-volunteer, non-profit, animal welfare organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of stray, neglected and abused animals. Bow Wow Breakout 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, age appropriate vaccinations, spaying/neutering and microchipping prior to their adoption unless otherwise discussed. We often do not have a full history of our dogs, but we supply you with as much information about each of our dogs that we have gathered during their time with us.
This questionnaire is designed to help Bow Wow Breakout 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. Bow Wow Breakout reserves the right to deny any adoption based on answers to this questionnaire and/or interviews prior to adoptions! You'll hear back from us within 24 hours and we'll continue through the next steps of a video home check and interview!
