EmailMe Form - Adoption Questionnaire

Name of Dog You Would Like to Adopt: *

Please note that Sanctuary Rescue is unable to accept any early applications or applications for dogs or cats that are not currently listed for adoption on our website. If you've seen a dog or cat on one of our social media sites but you don't see it on our website, it most likely means it is not yet available for adoption. Please check back and submit your application once the animal has been officially listed for adoption on our website and/or Petfinder.com. Any applications that come in without an animal's name or that has not been officially listed for adoption will be disregarded. *

If you are interested in more than one adoptable Sanctuary Rescue dog, please list second choice here (If you are open to any of the puppies from a particular litter, siblings of the dog you listed above, or any other dog we currently have available for adoption, it is important to list them here. If this is left blank then you will only be considered for the dog listed in the first field and may miss out on littermates or other adoptable dogs):

A note on what to expect next:
Please understand that it is not our intention to pass judgement on potential adopters in any way. Our Adoption Questionnaire is only an attempt to get to know each potential adopter and match them with the rescue dog that would best fit potential families and lifestyles. Because of energy levels, special needs, schedules, compatibility with other dogs/cats/children, etc. not every home is the perfect match for every dog. We often receive multiple applications for the same dog at the same time, so if it doesn't work out this go-around, it may have just been a matter of timing, and we encourage you to apply again in the future. If we are successfully able to match you with one of our rescue dogs, the dog's foster parent will be in touch within two weeks to arrange a meet-and-greet. In an ideal world, we would be able to respond to each and every potential adopter individually; however, as a small rescue we have found ourselves unable to keep up. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Once a dog has been adopted, its adoption listing is immediately removed from Petfinder and online. So whether or not a dog's listing is still showing up on Petfinder is the quickest and easiest way to see if s/he has been adopted.
Thank you for considering adopting a rescue dog. *

I have read and reviewed Sanctuary Rescue's adoption contract (located under the Forms tab on our website) and understand that I will be required to sign and abide by the adoption contract upon finalization of dog's adoption. *
