Adoption Application

Welcome to Paws Place Adoption Program.
We’re glad that you are interested in adopting a new pet from us. The following information is requested so that we can assist you in the selection of a new pet. The application form and consultation with a Paw’s Place representative is designed to help us determine if the adoption is in the animal’s best interest, and to assist you in finding an animal most compatible with your lifestyle. Please fill out the form below. Fields marked with an asterisk are required.

Conditions to assure a successful adoption:

– Have a vet recommendation. We will call your vet to see if the dog you had, or have is: up to date on shots, spayed or neutered, and on heart worm preventative medication.

– You must be at least 21 years of age.

– A fenced back yard is preferable and required for some dogs.

– Own your own home, or rent for at least 1 year at the same address.

– Provide driver’s license at application time that matches your current address.

– Have consent of your landlord if renting, and provide verification of such consent from landlord.

Paws Place charges an adoption fee of $195.00. This fee helps to defray the costs of food, shelter, heart worm treatment, flea and tapeworm control, medical care and spay/neuter for the animals. 100% of the adoption fees are used for the benefit of the animals.

Completion of this application does not guarantee adoption of a Paws Place dog.

Please do not submit an application to adopt until after you have met the dog in person.

All required fields must be completed for your application to be successfully submitted. If your application was successfully submitted you will receive an email confirmation. If you do not receive that confirmation please contact us at info@pawsplace.org
