Our Pet Adoption Process

In order to adopt one of our dogs, we require an application, application approval, meet and greet, adoption fee, and a contract. Sorry - we do not do out-of-state adoptions.

Step 1: Lets Begin!

By filling out the adoption application, you will answer any questions about what you're looking for in a pet. Our staff and volunteers are on hand to guide you every step of the way.

Step 2: Matching Expectations

Our team will review your application and answer questions you have about the type of pet you are looking for. Our goal is to find the best match for you and your lifestyle.

Step 3: Meeting the Animals

Once your application is approved, we will set up a time and location for you to meet the dog you are interested in. We encourage you to bring your family and any other dogs that you have in your home. This will enable us to properly introduce your current pets on neutral ground and make sure that they are suited for one another.

Step 4: Adoption Contract

Upon application approval, a signed agreement is required along with the donation fee. We have staff members and experienced volunteers to answer any questions, and to give you suggestions on how to best acclimate your new pet into the home.

Paws For Life Guarantee

We hope that you and your pet will be lifelong companions, but we understand that life can get in the way of the best plans. That's why we are always here. Whether you need advice or have a personal circumstance or emergency and can no longer keep your pet, we are here for you. We commit to our dogs and will always be a safety net.
