Gonzo’s FAQs

What is NH Sled Dog Rescue, History & Education Center’s adoption process?

Our Adoption Process: Step 1 - Complete and submit an adoption application. A completed application helps our staff get to know you better and introduce you to dogs that would do well in your home (or ensure that the dog you are interested in would be a good fit). Once we receive this information, we can then schedule an appointment for you to come meet our adoptable sled dogs. Step 2 - If you decide to move forward with adopting one of our sled dogs we begin processing your application (ie: checking references that you provide, reaching out to your vet etc). We also request a few nonintrusive home photos to get an idea of where the dog will play, sleep, eat etc. Step 3 - If your application is approved we then schedule a health certificate appointment (and spay/neuter surgery is necessary). Step 4 - You get to welcome your new four-legged friend! Please note that in general, our adoption process takes 2-4 weeks depending on how quickly we receive feedback from your references and how soon we can get the lucky four-legger in for any necessary vet appointments. We DO NOT do same day adoptions and all potential adopters are required to to do a meet and greet prior to adoption day. Our adoption fee (as of January 2022) is $250 and includes: a health certificate, microchip, updated Bordetella, DHLPP, and rabies vaccines. Dogs will also be spayed/neutered if not already altered.
