We have applicants fill out a questionnaire, we do a phone interview, and if things go well we do a home check. If that goes well we arrange for the person to meet the dog in the presence of one of our volunteers. If that goes well and all parties are happy and it's the right fit, we have the person sign an adoption contract. We spay/neuter, vaccinate, and microchip all dogs prior to adoption. Also, the contract states that if in the future they can't keep the dog that they must return the dog to us. Our adoption fee is $450.
