Please take a moment to read about our adoption policies and process...

Everything we do is in the best interest of the animals in our care, and is aimed at giving them the best possible chance of finding a permanent home. Yes, you may like the look of a particular dog, but that does not necessarily mean that the dog’s personality is a match for your family or lifestyle.

Therefore, it’s important to understand two things: 

(1) the process is the same for everyone, and 

(2) It is not our intent to frustrate you.

We have a very high adoption success rate, and we are quite proud of our program and its standards. This is because our main concern is finding happy endings for the dogs in our program.

Adoption Process
Once you have completed your online adoption application, one of our adoption team members will reach out to you ONLY IF YOU ARE APPROVED to meet the dog you applied for. We will contact you as soon as possible if we feel the dog is a good match with you. Please note, all adopters must sign an adoption contract, which can be found here for reference. 

Sorry - we do not do adoptions to the State of Massachusetts due to MA Department of Agriculture laws.
