If you have decided you want to submit an application, please click the button below that will lead you to our online adoption application. Once your application has been completed and submitted, it will take a few days to be processed. We will reach out to you about the approval of your application. This does not guarantee adoption. We are seeking the best home, not necessarily first come, first serve. Adopters are expected to travel to us (Charlotte) if out of town.

Once we receive your application, we will follow up via email or phone if we have any questions. Part of our process is a vet check where we ensure existing animals in your home are up to date on vaccines and preventatives. We also ask that you provide personal references that we may contact.

For the safety of our fosters and animals, an approved application is required to schedule a meet and greet.

Following the meet & greet, you may choose to take home the animal same day, sleep on it, or opt to proceed with an adoption trial. When you are ready to make it official, you will be sent and asked to sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee via tax deductible donation. Our adoption fee is $350 for most dogs. This reimburses the rescue for vet expenses incurred.
