Adoption Application

ADOPTION APPLICATION

Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from SRGDRR! Your application does not guarantee or reserve a dog. Team Rocky Enterprises, Inc reserves the right to deny any applicant for any reason. *Please note that we do not adopt dogs to Massachusetts due to strict guidelines from their state agricultural department.* We hope this changes in the future. Our mission is to rehome our dogs to loving, caring, and responsible people. Therefore, all information will be verified. Incomplete applications will NOT be processed.

The Small Print..
If a Great Dane is placed with me/us, I/we agree to cooperate with SRGDRR INC in its attempt to provide a smooth transition for dogs and humans alike. I/we also agree to contact SRGDRR INC about problems that might arise in the future. Should the dog need to be removed, or euthanized (prior to normal old age), I/we will contact SRGDRR INC prior to taking any action to determine whether the dog might be a candidate for placement elsewhere. I/we certify that the information provided is true, correct, and complete to the best of my information and belief and that I have not willfully concealed any information in answering the above questions.
