P4P Adoption Application

Passion 4 Paws Adoption Application

Due to overwhelming response we cannot guarantee response time, pup availability, or placement; nor will we be able to field inquiries, general questions, etc. so we can focus on Rescuing & Adoptions. It is important to understand we have a waiting list of approved Adopters and your patience will be required as it could be a longer process. Incomplete Applications will not be processed; partner/spouse information must be filled in (name, email, contact info). Please be serious about your commitment.If you are approved we will be in touch via email as soon as we are able; there are countless tasks in Rescue outside of Adoptions. You must be 21 years or older to Adopt. **We do not Adopt further than 2.5 hours from Burlington Vermont (exceptions on a case by case based upon referrals & specific dogs up to 4 hours)**. Only 1 Application needed per household (not per dog).
Do Not To Hit Enter Until The Application Is Completely Filled Out & Signed! Incomplete Applications will not be processed. EMAILS preferred for personal references and landlord information.
