Adoption Process

Before applying, we ask that you thoughtfully consider the lifelong needs of a dog. Many dogs end up in shelters due to unexpected challenges, and our goal is to ensure each of our dogs finds a stable, loving forever home.

Our adoption process includes several steps to help make the best possible match between each dog and their new family. Every dog is different—some may thrive in a quiet home, while others need an active household or fenced yard. Similarly, every applicant’s living situation is unique, and that’s okay.

The questions on our application are simply tools to help us get to know you better. No single answer will automatically disqualify you. We encourage honesty and openness so we can work together to find a dog that fits your lifestyle and expectations.
