You will see it at the bottom of the application, before you agree to submit. We have instituted an adoption application donation of $20. Non-refundable adoption donation – It takes donations to keep a rescue running, and a volunteer’s time and energy to review and process these applications. This process may not be to your liking, and there are so many dogs in local shelters that might be better for you. The app is long (about 6 to 7 pages), there is a small fee (non-refundable adoption donation – See Below) to submit the app, and we really don’t want any unhappy or angry people thinking they got a raw deal. If this is a gating factor in your decision to completing this application, STOP, and do not start this application process. There is no way for us to know this at this point and time in the application process. It’s possible that we may not have a volunteer close enough to your location to complete your review.

The home visit is a crucial part of the application review. PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING: Most of our volunteers are located in or around major cities and their suburbs. Renters must provide landlord contact information. The app will be part of the adoption contract if you are approved. You need the following info: Your veterinary contact information for current / past pets (if applicable), and contact info for three personal references. Since most requirements for fostering and adopting are the same, the applications are the same. PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE OF THE AREAS LISTED ABOVE. All applications are subject to the availability of volunteers in your area, and applications submitted from bordering states may be considered depending on the availability of volunteers near your home. Note: We work only within Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, northern Virginia, Washington DC, New Hampshire (within an hour of Massachusetts) and Rhode Island (adoptions only).
