1. All potential adopters must agree to a home visit. This is to ensure that our wards are being adopted into safe homes.
2. Adopting a dog is a meeting of the heart as well as of the mind. It is a lifetime commitment to an animal that will be your loving companion and your best friend. We want to make this decision as easy as possible for you, so if you are not sure you can take such a permanent step, please consider fostering one of our dogs before you adopt to help alleviate the pressure you may feel.
3. Upon completion of the above, we require an adoption fee of $450 for large adult dogs, $600 for small adult dogs, and $650 for puppies to help defray the cost of veterinary and foster care. Adoption fees for dogs with special medical or behavioral needs may be discounted.
We also require a signed adoption contract.
Completing an application does not guarantee an adoption. We, of course, keep all applications confidential and never sell any names or personal information.
