Our adoption process consists of:
We screen potential adopters very carefully in order to find the best possible match for both you and our foster dogs. No Dalmatians will be placed into homes known to have intact companion animals, let their pets roam free, or have exhibited irresponsible care of current or previous pets. All adoptions are expected to be lifetime commitments so please give this a lot of thought before completing an application. We will disclose all known behaviors, health or emotional issues to interested applicants prior to adoption.
Once your references are checked, a volunteer will contact you to discuss potential matches and to schedule a home visit. The purpose of the home visit is not to inspect your housecleaning abilities! It is to see the surroundings in which our foster dogs will live, address any areas of concern and get to know you a little better.
Our adoption fee is $200. What does this fee cover?
- Physical veterinarian exam
- Spay/Neuter
- Rabies
- DHLPP
- Heartworm Test and preventative
- Fecal Test and any necessary worming
- Microchip implant (for id purposes)
- Flea preventative
- Any other treatment deemed necessary by our vet
- Uri analysis
- Reimbursement to ther rescue for food, boarding, shelter pull fees, gas
& transport expenses.
As you can see, our adoption fee covers a number of costs. Your dog will be covered for all the necessary inoculations for the first year. We will send you copies of all services your new Dal received while in rescue
Once you are approved, a time will be set to complete the adoption process by signing a standard adoption contract.
