Foster/Adoption Questionnaire Form

If you are interested in adopting or fostering one of the dogs that are available from Save the Dalmatians and Others Canine Rescue, please completely fill out this form and submit it. Your completion and submission of this form does not guarantee that we will place one of our dogs in your home for foster or permanent adoption, but instead this is just the first step in our foster/adoption process. This form is only to be filled out by an adult living in the foster/adopt home, or their proxy.

The next step in our process is reference checks, followed by the prefoster/preadoption home check by our home check coordinator (most often done via Facetime, or other virtual platform).

Because we help dogs from all over the country, if you are applying for a dog outside of your area, then transportation will have to be arranged, for which we will waive our adoption fee in certain circumstances.

Our adoption fees range from $275 to $450+ with the higher end being for younger, healthy, dogs that have already been fully vetted (spay/neuter and all vaccinations). Please keep in mind that Save the Dals is a nonprofit organization that on-average spends far higher than the adoption fee due to transportation from shelters or homes to fosters or boarding, veterinary costs, food and necessary items, and sometimes training costs, etc.

Thank you for your consideration of adopting one of our dogs in-need.
