Our adoption process includes an online application, meet and greet between the rescue dog and your human family members, animal introductions with any furry family members, and a home check. We put a lot of time and effort into our application process to ensure that each of our rescue dogs finds the best possible match for them. Please be as thorough as possible in your application responses – the more information we have about your family and what you’re looking for in a new buddy, the easier the process will be! While we are not here to judge anyone’s lifestyle, we do conduct a home check before finalizing every adoption to ensure that the home and backyard are safe. To expedite the application process, please attach a copy of the Declaration page of your Homeowner’s Insurance policy, or if you rent, an approval letter from your landlord – this helps us work with you to ensure that the breed you are looking for is covered/accepted by your landlord or insurance provider.

If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to e-mail adopt@sacrdr.org.
