adoption process
Thinking about adopting one of our dogs? Here's how it works:
- Check out our Current Underdogs page to see which dog(s) you're interested in adopting.
- Complete the Adoption Application and a volunteer will be in touch to discuss details.
- We will arrange meet and greets with you and your chosen dog, usually in their foster home.
- Bring any family members and other pets who should meet the dog.
- After the meeting, you might want to think things over, meet another dog, or decide it's not a match; that's ok.
- If the meeting is a success, we will proceed with the adoption. Be ready to take your new dog home!
- We will have the adoption agreement for your meeting, so be prepared to sign it and make payment via cash or check.
- See our Adoption Fees below.
- See our Resources page for a checklist on bringing a new dog home and other helpful info.
