Dog Adoption Application Adoption Application We appreciate it when all human and canine members of the family attend the event to meet the dogs. If you have a resident dog or dogs please bring him/her/them with so they can meet their prospective new canine sibling! We understand that this is not always possible and it is not a requirement, but we do give preference to families with all members present. Please understand that we do not adopt on a first come-first served basis.
