Pawsitively Furever Adoption Form

We understand that the excitement to apply for a new, furry family member can lead to premature application completion. As we are a volunteer-run rescue and our time spent on applications directly influences the number of dogs we can save, please be sure that you can say yes to the below considerations before submitting an application:

Are all current household members aware and supportive of this application?
Have you considered the potential lifestyle changes required to add (another) furry companion to your family and are willing to commit to those changes?
Have you narrowed down your search to only include Pawsitively Furever?
Are you patient enough to commit to the adoption process with our rescue, including reference checks, a virtual home visit, and meet and greet with your potential new family member?
Are you willing to welcome a new furry family member into your home within the next two weeks?

Have you applied to other organizations for different dogs?

Please answer all questions otherwise your application will be considered incomplete. You must submit an application to be considered for adoption.
