Adoption Application Form
Every application is carefully reviewed. To ensure that Bria finds the perfect homes for the dogs that she rescues, she will follow up only with applicants who are believed to be a great match for each individual dog. Applications are not considered on first come, first serve basis. She considers various factors such as the applicant's lifestyle, living situation, and their ability to provide a safe and caring environment for any and all dogs.
Our Ideal Candidate
Bria prioritizes applicants who show a genuine interest in providing a loving and forever home to the dogs in her rescue. While it is understood that every applicant has good intentions, resources are limited and the focus must be on those who best align with each dogs' specific needs.
Our Commitments
As an organization, the number one goal is to match every dog with the perfect home. By carefully selecting ideal candidates, we ensure that each dog finds a family they can thrive with.
Thank You For Applying!
I appreciate your understanding and support as I work toward this goal. If you have not received a follow-up, please know that it does not diminish the value of your application. There are many factors that contribute to the decision-making process, and unfortunately, it is difficult to approve every applicant. It is encouraged for you to keep in touch and look for other dogs that are saved and rescued by Saving With Bria Inc. and may be better suited for you, or to look in your local animal shelter or nearby rescue. Thank you so much for your consideration and support, and thank you for wanting to open your heart and home to a past shelter/rescue dog!

If you are applying for a certain dog and it may not be the best match, do you want Bria to reach out if a dog comes into her rescue that fits your wants and needs of a new companion?

If at any time I no longer want the dog or decide it will not work out, I will contact Bria Tiro and return the dog. The dog will not be rehomed or dropped off at a shelter or rescue. I understand that all dogs are capable of biting or injuring another being if pushed past threshold and will do everything in my power to take the steps necessary to prevent such things from occurring.
