The dog will be introduced into your home for 14 to 21 days, allowing time for adjustment. At the end of that time, if the match is perfect for the family as well as the dog, an adoption contract is signed. This allows the dog to assimilate to the new environment and for the bonding process to begin for both the dog & family. We have a $500 donation fee for dogs under 1 year old with a non-refundable deposit of $250 on puppies under 6 months. $400 for 1-7 years, $300 for 7-10 years, dogs over 10 years will be assigned adoption fee based on health.

Dogs older than 1 year old who are in need of training based on their past lives will be required to attend training classes.
