Our goal is to ensure the best match for both you and the dog.
 

How long does the adoption process take?

Most applications are reviewed within a few days. The full process can take anywhere from a few days to about a week, depending on the situation.
 

Is there an adoption fee?

Yes, adoption fees help cover vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, and general care. Fees may vary based on the dog’s age and needs.
 

What’s included with my adoption?

Most dogs are:

• Spayed or neutered
• Up to date on vaccinations
• Microchipped

You’ll also receive basic information about your dog’s health and behavior.
 

Can I meet the dog before adopting?

Absolutely. Meet-and-greets are an important part of the process to ensure a good fit for both you and the dog.
 

Do you allow adoptions outside the local area?

This depends on the situation. Please contact us to discuss options if you’re located outside the immediate area.
 

What if I have other pets?

We recommend bringing your current dog for a meet-and-greet when possible. This helps ensure compatibility.
 

What if the adoption doesn’t work out?

We understand that not every match is perfect. Please contact us—we’ll work with you on next steps and ensure the dog’s safe return if needed.
 

Can I adopt if I rent my home?

Yes, but we may require landlord approval or proof that pets are allowed.
 

How do I prepare for bringing my new dog home?

We recommend having:

• Food and water bowls
• A leash and collar
• A comfortable bed
• Time set aside to help your dog adjust
