All members of the household, including children, must meet and approve of the new canine family member. If you presently have a dog(s), we invite you to bring them with you as all dogs must participate in a meet & greet at the Haven. You must be able to provide proof that all dogs and cats presently in your household are up-to-date on their vaccinations.
