HOW ADOPTION WORKS

A thoughtful process from first hello to homecoming.

We want adoption to feel exciting, but we also want it to be responsible.

BEFORE APPLYING

A few things worth thinking about first.

Before submitting an application, please make sure everyone in your household is comfortable with adopting a puppy and that your housing situation allows dogs.

01

Meet the Puppies

Browse the available puppy profiles and learn about their care needs.

02

Submit an Application

Tell us about your household and the home you can provide.

03

Home Review

We review your application and may request additional information.

04

Approval & Arrangements

If approved, we confirm availability and discuss the arrangements.

05

Adoption Agreement

The paperwork outlines the placement and responsibilities.

06

Preparing for Homecoming

We coordinate with the foster family before homecoming.

Questions are welcome throughout the process. We would rather help you make an informed decision than rush an adoption.

Puppy adoption application

Tell us about your home and the puppy you are hoping to adopt.

Complete each required field carefully. Photos or videos of your home setup are optional, but they can help the rescue understand readiness, safety, and placement fit faster.

No puppy selected yet

You can still apply generally, or choose a puppy first so the application carries that puppy's photo and details.

Optional, but recommended. Add photos or short videos of the living area, yard, pet space, crates, supplies, or where the puppy will sleep. You can remove any file before submitting.

Final confirmation

GOING HOME

Planning a safe transition.

Because our puppies may be cared for in different foster homes, pickup arrangements depend on the location of the individual puppy.

Homecoming is arranged individually.

Pickup or transportation details are confirmed only after an application is reviewed and the placement is ready to move forward.

CHOOSE WHAT WORKS FOR YOUR HOME

Start simple or let us help with the whole setup.

Every family prepares differently.

Care-package contents and availability may vary.

THE FIRST DAYS MATTER

A familiar start can make a big change feel a little easier.

Moving from a foster home into a new family is a big adjustment for a young puppy.

Not sure what your puppy actually needs?

Tell us what you already have at home, and we'll help identify the essentials worth preparing.
