LONE STAR DOBERMAN RESCUE

**Please visit our website to review the adoption eligibility information here, BEFORE submitting an application** https://www.lonestardobermans.org/education

The majority of the form is a required answer field, if you do not have an answer, type NA.

Additionally, we prefer all applicants be 25 years of age or older, however all applications will be considered.

If you rent, you MUST call your management PRIOR to submitting an application and ask specifically, if Dobermans are allowed on the property. 95% or more of rental properties and apartments have a breed restriction against Dobermans, as well as several other breeds.

All applications will be reviewed, and you will be interviewed by phone and with a home visit prior to approval. We reserve the right to decline any application without providing a reason for the decline.

You will receive an email confirmation once your application has been submitted and received.

Again, please review the adoption eligibility information on our website, PRIOR to submitting an application. The information can be found here: https://www.lonestardobermans.org/education
