Our Adoption Process

Step 1

Submit an Adoption Form

Spotted a dog you love? Start by filling in our online adoption form or giving us a call, where you’ll tell us about your lifestyle and the kind of pup you’re hoping to take home.

Step 2

We Start the Search

With your details in hand, we’ll start matching you with the dogs in our care. You don’t need to do anything else – we’ll get in touch as soon as we find a potential match.

Step 3

Meet Your New Best Friend

If we’ve found a dog that seems right for you, we’ll invite you to meet them. Some pups may need a few visits to feel comfortable, but all of this helps us make sure it’s a good fit.

Step 4

Reserve Your Pup

Ready to make it official? We’ll guide you through all the paperwork and reserve your four-legged friend while you get everything set for their arrival.

Step 5

Take Them Home

Once all the necessary checks are completed, you’ll take your new pup home for your one-month adoption trial.

Step 6

Not the Right Fit? No Problem

If life takes a turn or things don’t click, we’ll always welcome our dogs back with open arms and zero judgement – whether it’s during the trial period or after.

Step 7

Ongoing Support

Whether you need support with medical care, training tips or anything in between, we’re always here to help. Just get in touch - we’re only a call or email away.

Your Support Keeps Us Moving Forward
