Adoption Application

Hello Dog Shopper!

We salute you for considering a rescued dog as a new addition to your family. Please answer the following questions to help us learn about your home set-up and your wish list for a new dog. We love details – be as wordy as you want with your answers. We’ll contact you within 1-3 days of reviewing your application.

Important: Thank you for understanding that filling out our application doesn’t guarantee that we have a good match for you. We’ll do our very best, but we’d love if you can also stay open to our feedback and suggestions for other options if it turns out that we don’t have a dog that matches your needs right now.
