PLEASE complete every applicable field on the form.  Note that some of the fields have a list of choices that will drop down if you click on the small arrow to the right of the selection that is showing.  Drop the list down and then click on your desired choice.  Then click in the next field to enter your next answer.

Adoption fees are based on age, and specific fees are listed in each dog’s description on Petfinder. The adoption fee primarily helps us offset the high costs of vetting. If within the first 2 weeks following the adoption you decide that the dog is not compatible to your home environment, your adoption fee will be refunded minus a $100 administration fee. Any amount over and above the adoption fee will be issued a tax receipt.  We are a registered charity # 889508909RR0001. 

Before you press the submit button, please look over the form one more time and make sure you have filled out every field completely.  We will not process any application where applicable data is missing. 

 Our process applicators are volunteers and have work and family commitments, so each application can take up to two to three weeks to process.  We try to find the best home for each dog, so filling out an application does not mean that you will be automatically guaranteed the specified dog.

We GREATLY appreciate your taking the time to fill out this form and appreciate your interest in our dogs.  We will get back to you regarding your request as soon as possible.

I, the adopter, attest that to the best of my knowledge the above information is accurate and complete and I understand that falsely provided information can mean that my application will be terminated. Sending this application constitutes an electronic signature.
