Please read and initial each statement below:

I understand that a home visit is required prior to final placement

I understand that a home visit does not guarantee placement

I agree to provide my own collar, leash, choke chain or harness, and personal ID at the time of completing the adoption contract

I can make a donation of at least $425 for an adult dog / $500 for puppies. This is a tax deductible donation and goes to the medical needs of the dog. Anything over that amount will help with medical care, spay and neuter, board and placing other abandoned dogs. (The inability to make a donation does not disqualify an applicant from consideration). I understand that any donation or contribution is a gift freely given, not a purchase price for a dog.
