FAQs & Info
-
- Everyone that lives in your home, including the other dogs are required to come to your appointment.

-

-
- We kindly ask that you only request an adoption appointment if you’re truly ready and prepared to adopt a dog today—if the dog is a good match for your family. While there’s never any pressure to adopt if it’s not the right fit, we ask that you don’t schedule an appointment if you're “just looking,” have other appointments lined up, or aren’t in a position to adopt at this time. This helps ensure families who are ready to welcome a new dog have the opportunity. We’ll be here when the time is right and would love to help you find your new best friend!
-
- In most cases we will only be able to introduce you to the dog you are most interested in meeting, depending in our schedule there may be an opportunity to meet other dogs who are a good match as well, but we can not guarantee this-it is dependent on the day’s schedule and if those pups have other meets scheduled.
