Requirements to Adopt

  1. Must be at least 18-years-old

  2. Provide a caring, loving home

  3. Provide proper vet care and grooming care

  4. Landlord approval (if applicable)

  5. Any current pets must be up-to-date on all vaccines

  6. Cats and dogs must be receiving flea/tick prevention

  7. Dogs must be receiving heartworm prevention

    1. We will ask for you vet's information to confirm status​

  8. Be willing to attend continued training lessons​

We take great care in ensuring it’s a great fit for both you and the dog so that he/she truly does become your new forever family member, your new best friend.

To keep that promise, we will conduct a few meet and greets, play dates, etc. We want you and your new dog to at least become good friends before you move into together LOL!!

But seriously, the dog does need to become somewhat comfortable with you before coming to live with you. This will ease the transition.

Remember the 3-3-3 Rule

3 days to start to decompress and begin to feel safe.

3 weeks to learn your routine and starts to show their personality.

3 months to truly start feeling at home.
