A Few Things to Think About:
Will you train your dog? How are your kids with pets? Did you clear it with your spouse, your landlord, your HOA, your parents?
When you move or divorce or have a baby or the kids move out or you graduate from school or whatever big change occurs in
your life, will the dog be a part of it? Can you make the over 10 year committment? Dogs live as long as 15 years!
Think it over carefully.... We rescuers are committed to our dogs. We want FOREVER homes for them. We would like to not
rescue pet store dogs, backyard bred dogs, puppy mill dogs, accidental dogs due to unneutered animals, overbred dogs from
the popular breed of the moment, or pets that used to belong to uncommitted or irresponsible owners. Shelters and euthanasia
by the thousands could end. Be a part of it! : )
Adoption Process
Sometimes I have more than one applicant for the dog. I do my best to provide the right match. But I also know that more than
one applicant could be the right one for the dog. Therefore, the applicant that provides all the information I need and makes
the arrangements to visit the dog, that is the applicant who will get first chance at adoption. If you are not first, I will
add you to my waiting list. You are next if the dog is returned, or, there is another available dog you are interested in.
Steps:
1 application
2 interview by phone
3 home visit, or in case of long distance, pictures of your home sent to me, and/or a visit with either a nearby rescue
group representative or animal control agent.
4 appointment to meet the dog
5 adoption
