This will actually speed up the process instead of delaying it. Once your application is approved, we will assist you in adopting a companion that will be the right match for your family.

Thank you for your interest in one of our homeless pets! Many of our animals were pulled from less than ideal circumstances and therefore we want only the best for them in their new homes.

Thank you very much for filling out this application. Our adoption process is thorough. It is not our intent to invade your privacy; our purpose is to find a caring, responsible, and permanent home for our dogs and at the same time find a suitable pet for you to love and enjoy for many years. Your answers will be reviewed and your vet and personal references will be contacted. We will contact you by phone as quickly as we can, but remember we deal with a high volume of calls and applications.
