LoveHandlers

Adoption Policy

LoveHandler dogs are healthy (unless a disability is noted) and have been spayed/neutered, up-to-date on shots and heartworm negative. They are transported bathed and nails clipped, with a new collar with tag. Please note that LoveHandlers must be very thorough in finding out all it can about an adoptive situation before releasing a dog to someone's care. It is important for LoveHandlers to check veterinarian references. To begin the process of adopting a pet from LoveHandlers, please complete and submit an Adoption Application & Contract Package. The completion and return of the application does not guarantee adoption; you will be contacted for a phone interview should the adoption proceed. If approved, a donation fee will be expected via phone or through our online donation link at www.LoveHandlers.org.



Although LoveHandlers employs an off site adoption facility in the New England area, the main animal sanctuary is beautifully located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains.
