Please Read before filling out the Adoption Application!

Adoption Policies and Procedure:

Filling out the form below does not obligate you to adopt a pet from Dirty Paws, it also does not obligate us to adopt a pet to you. We reserve the right to deny any application, for any reason and without giving reason. If your application has been approved but another applicant adopts the pet you were applying for, we will put your application on file and if you see a pet that you are interested in, at any time, you are welcome to contact us. (Adoption Applications that are over a year old may be deleted from our files and you may be required to fill out another)

Our adoption Procedure is as follows:

Once we receive your application it will be reviewed and passed to the person handling the adoption of the pet you are interested in. You will receive an e-mail saying that we got your application and give you information about adoption fees.

We will then check your references and call, or ask you to call, for a phone interview to answer any questions you may have about the pet, about our rescue and policies and allow us to ask any questions we may have about your application.

If all goes well we will then proceed to set up a Home Visit, Home Visits can be set up anywhere in the US thanks to volunteers.

Once this has been done and you are approved, we will set up an appointment for you to come meet/adopt the pet. At this time you will be asked to sign an adoption contract, which you will get a copy of, and you will also be given copies of the vetting done to the pet and information about their microchip.

The whole adoption procedure can take between 2 days to a week under normal circumstances.

If you have any questions please contact DPRescue@gmail.com and we will be happy to answer them.
