First come first serve does not apply, we do our best to ensure our dogs find the right home for them and that you find the right fit for your home.

All adoption fees are to cover vetting costs and are non-refundable.

We do not have a physical facility, all of our dogs are fostered in homes appropriate for them and we provide as much detail as we know about the dogs personality and behaviour.

If things do not work out with your new dog, we ask that you let us know first and we will try and find alternative placement. We also ask that you give us at least 2/3 weeks notice.

By signing below, I certify that the information provided in this application is true and complete. I understand that submitting an application does not guarantee approval. I agree to provide safe, loving,and responsible care for any dog fostered or adopted from Rovers Return Dog Rescue.

Upon approval I release Rovers Return Dog Rescue, its volunteers, and affiliates from any liability once a dog is placed in my care.

I acknowledge that adopting a dog is a serious, lifelong commitment and should any problems arise and I am no longer able to care for my dog I will reach out to Rovers Return Dog Rescue first before I consider taking my dog to the shelter or giving him/her away.
