Written Response

Did you stumble upon our rescue while deep in a late-night dog scrolling session? Did a friend or family member rave about us? Or did one of our adoptable floofs personally recruit you with their irresistible fluff and puppy-dog eyes? Spill the beans—we’d love to know!

How do you feel about sharing updates if you adopt a dog from us? *

I’m an open book and will send plenty of updates with photos, videos, and stories (the more, the better!)

I don’t mind sending updates from time to time, just let me know when you’d like to hear from me!

I’m happy to share an update once in a while, but I’m not really big on sending lots of communication.

I’d prefer not to share updates at all, but I’ll let you know if something important comes up.

Household Information

We promise we’re not trying to be nosy—just trying to make sure this pup will be as comfy as possible in their new home.

Who else will be sharing the doggie duties?

Please provide the name, email and number of your significant other or any secondary human that will be sharing custody of your new fluffy butt. *

(You know, the person who will also be on poop-scooping duty and who claims the dog won’t end up in your bed… but we all know how that goes.)

How old are you?

We ask for your age to better understand your lifestyle and energy levels, which helps us match you with the right dog. *

What is your lifestyle like?

We want to know what your day-to-day life looks like so we can find a dog who’ll fit right in with your routine. Choose the option that best describes your lifestyle, or mix and match to give us a better idea! *

The Busy Bee: I’m always on the go! Between work, errands, social events, and everything else, my schedule is packed. I’m looking for a dog who can keep up and is okay with some alone time or a bit of independence during the day.

The Adventurer: I’m always planning my next outdoor adventure! Whether it's hiking, biking, or just long walks, I’m looking for a dog who’s energetic and loves to explore the great outdoors.

The Homebody: My couch, my blanket, my dog, and I – that’s the dream! I prefer quiet nights at home and lazy weekends, but I’m ready to take my dog out for daily walks and plenty of cuddles.

The Social Butterfly: I’m out and about, whether it's hanging with friends, at the dog park, or attending community events. I need a dog who’s social, loves meeting new people, and can handle the hustle and bustle.

The Family Centered: Whether it’s kids, cousins, or the whole extended family, my home is always full of people. I need a dog who’s good with children, loves the chaos, and enjoys being part of the family fun.

The Work-from-Home Pro: I’m living the dream with a remote job, so my dog will always have company! I’m looking for a dog who likes to hang out while I work but is also up for a break when I’m ready to play.

The Fitness Buff : My workouts are non-negotiable, and I need a dog who can join in on my runs, jogs, or hikes. Let’s make fitness a team effort!

The Chill & Go: I’ve got a laid-back schedule with a few flexible work hours, and I’m looking for a dog who’s okay with hanging out at home, but also down to go for walks or explore new places when the mood strikes.

Do you have children in the household?

If so, please provide their ages, energy levels (active, calm, or somewhere in between), and their experience with dogs. *

This helps us ensure the dog will be a good fit for your family and that everyone, including the kids, can have a positive and safe experience together.

Let’s Talk Sneezes & Sniffles:

Are there any known dog allergies in the home?

If so, how do you plan to manage those if things get ruff? *

We’re Good! No Dog Allergies Here.
Our noses are clear, our eyes are dry, and we’re ready for all the fur and fluff.

Mild Allergy, Managed with a Box of Tissues and Determination.
We might sneeze a little or reach for the allergy meds, but we’re prepared to handle it without giving up our new pup.

Allergy Roulette – One of Us Might React, But We’re Hopeful.
Not 100% sure how things will go, but we’re ready to try and will plan accordingly if someone gets sneezy.

Severe Allergy – We’d Love a Dog That’s Basically Made of Clouds and Hypoallergenic Dreams.
If we’re being honest, we’re only able to consider dogs with very minimal shedding/dander. One sneeze and it’s an ER situation.

We’ve Got a Plan, Even If It Gets Hairy.
We’ve talked to a doctor, have a HEPA filter army, and are committed to making it work—even if someone ends up bonding with their allergy meds more than the dog at first.

Severe Allergy – We’ll Try, But May Have to Rehome If It Becomes Unmanageable.
We love dogs, but health comes first. If symptoms become too severe despite our best efforts, we would have to make the difficult decision to return or rehome the dog for everyone’s well-being.

Are you prepared to keep this dog for the next 10+ years? *

Written Response:

Dogs aren’t just a fling—they’re a decade-long commitment (possibly longer). Are you prepared to provide belly rubs, snacks, and unconditional love for the next 10+ years?

Think of it this way: This dog will be with you longer than most celebrity marriages, your favorite TV series, and possibly even your current car. Through job changes, life changes, and questionable haircut decisions—this pup will be there.

So, are you in it for the long haul? ??

Have you ever had to make the tough decision to return or rehome a pet of your own? *

We know life can be complicated, and sometimes things don’t work out as planned. If you’ve ever had to rehome or return a pet in the past, we need to know. Please be honest – we're not here to judge, and your application won't be tossed out just because you made a difficult decision in the past. But, if you don’t share this information and we find out later, we might have to reconsider your application.

Remember, transparency helps us understand your experience as a pet parent and ensures that we’re making the best match for both you and the dog. So, feel free to share any context or reasons – we appreciate your honesty!

Finding Your Perfect Match: Let’s Get to Know Your Ideal Dog!

Why are we asking about the dog you’d like to adopt. Well, we want to make sure we’re setting both you and your new furry friend up for success! Think of it like matchmaking—finding a dog with the right energy, personality, and lifestyle fit is key to a happy, long-lasting relationship. So whether you're after a lazy cuddle buddy or an energetic playmate, we just want to make sure it’s a match made in puppy heaven!

I am interested in adopting the dog named:

***Note: If the dog you're interested in isn't listed, it means they are currently pending adoption or have already been adopted. We do our best to keep this list up-to-date, but sometimes a dog you’ve recently applied for may have just found their forever home. We recommend having a second choice in mind, just in case!*** *

Just a friendly reminder: the location listed with the dog is where you’ll be picking them up from.

Why THIS dog? *

What made you fall head over paws for this particular pup? Was it their soulful eyes, their ridiculous ears? Was it their fluffy good looks? Their soulful eyes? Their potential to be the ultimate couch potato or adventure buddy? Or did you just see their picture and know they are "the one".

My second choice dog in the case the one I wanted has been adopted or isn't a fit is: *

Are you looking for a Livestock Guardian Dog(LGD) that will stay primarily outside and watch over your livestock and/or poultry? *

Does your new dog need to be good with chickens?

If so, do they have their own area that the dogs do NOT have access to or do they share an outdoor space with the dogs? *

We ask this because some dogs have a natural instinct to chase smaller animals, and we want to ensure your chickens are safe and your new dog will get along well with your feathered friends. Whether they have a designated chicken-free zone or share space, we want to know how to best set up a peaceful environment for everyone involved!

How long do you expect/want your new dog to spend outside each day? *

? Mostly Indoors (0–2 hours outside/day): Just heading out for potty breaks and a quick sniff of the yard before heading back to the couch. My dog will be inside with me the vast majority of the time.

? In and Out as They Please (Dog Door Access): We have a dog door or a similar setup, so the dog will come and go freely throughout the day based on their own preferences.

? A Few Hours of Sunshine (2–4 hours/day): I like to give them a chance to hang out in the yard, enjoy the weather, or stretch their legs a bit during the day—but they’ll still be inside most of the time.

? Half and Half (4–6 hours/day): We split our time pretty evenly—some indoor snuggles, some outdoor adventures. Yard time is part of our daily routine.

? Majority Outdoors (6+ hours/day): I expect my dog will spend most of the day outside in the yard, with access to shade, water, and shelter. They’ll come in at night or when we’re home.

? Outdoor-Only Setup: I plan for the dog to live entirely outdoors, with no regular access to the house.

What type of personality are you hoping for in your new dog? *

Couch Potato – I’m looking for a dog who’s basically a professional napper.
Social Butterfly – I want a dog who can keep up with all my activities and then some!
Adventure Buddy – I'm ready for a dog who’s always up for a hike, jog, or impromptu dance party.
Mellow & Chill – I want a dog who enjoys the occasional zoomie but mostly prefers to lounge and relax.
Ready for Anything – Whether it's a long walk, a lazy afternoon, or a trip to the park, my dog needs to be game for whatever I throw at them!

Are There Any Behavioral Quirks You're Just Not Willing to Tackle at this time?

Let’s be real—rescue dogs are lovable, but they don’t all come pre-assembled. From potty training to personality quirks, it’s okay to have boundaries (in fact, we encourage it). The more honest you are here, the better chance we have of making a match that sticks—for both you and your future dog. *

Chewing / Destructive Behavior
I’d like to keep my shoes, furniture, and sanity intact.

Potty Training
I'd prefer a dog who already understands that rugs are not restrooms.

Leash Training
I don’t mind walking a dog—I just don’t want to be dragged like a human sled.

Mouthing / Puppy Biting
Those tiny teeth may be "just playing," but I like having fingers, thanks.

Separation Anxiety
I can’t be someone’s emotional support human 24/7 (I already have a job).

Reactivity (to other dogs, people, etc.)
I'd prefer not to be that person being yanked across the street mid-walk.

Resource Guarding (food, toys, people)

Shy / Under-socialized Dogs
I’m more of a “cuddles on day one” kind of person.

Not Good with Kids / Strangers
I need a dog who tolerates company—even if I don’t.

Escape Artist Behavior
I am not able to put in a new fence, try an electric/invisible fence, reinforce it, or switch to leash walks.

High Energy / Needs a Job
I admire working dogs... from afar. I’m not running an agility course here.

None of the Above
I’m ready to take on whatever quirks they come with—as long as there’s coffee and patience.

What’s your ideal dog size? *

Pocket-Sized (Under 20 lbs): Small enough to carry in a tote, or disappear under a blanket.

Loaf-of-Bread Size (20–40 lbs): Not too big, not too small—just right for snuggles and spontaneous zoomies.

Lap Dog at Heart (40–70 lbs): Large enough to steal your spot on the couch, but still tries to sit in your lap.

Gentle Giant (70+ lbs): The bigger the dog, the bigger the snuggle. I basically want a living weighted blanket.

Size Doesn’t Matter: I go for personality over poundage—bring on the weird, the wiggly, or the wooly!

Home Life

How many hours a day do you expect your dog to be alone for?

(And don’t worry, we know people have jobs—just let us know what the pup’s daily schedule might look like!) *

Basically Never (0–2 hours): I’m their full-time entourage. Where I go, they go—even to the bathroom.

Workday Wiggles (3–5 hours): I’m in and out, and they’ll have a solid midday break with cuddles.

The 9-to-5 (6–8 hours): They’ll hold down the fort while I bring home the kibble.

Marathon Alone Time (8+ hours): My schedule’s full, but I’ll make it up to them with walks, toys, and unconditional love.

It Depends on the Day: Some days we’re inseparable, other days they get the house to themselves and full remote control privileges.

Where will your new dog stay while you’re away at work, on an errand, etc?

We want to know how your dog will spend their time while you’re out and about! Please choose the option that best fits your situation: *

-Free-Range Pup: My dog has free roam of the house while I’m gone, enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of their domain.

-The Doggie Den: I’ve got a cozy crate or a secure playpen where my dog will hang out safely until I get home.

-Doggy Daycare or a Dog Walker: When I’m out, my dog’s at daycare with other pups, or they get a daily check-in from a dog walker who provides company, exercise, and attention.

-Supervised Outdoor Access: If I’m out for a while, my dog may have access to a securely fenced yard where they can enjoy the fresh air, sniff around, or relax in the sun until I’m back.

-Dog-Friendly Neighbor or Friend: I have a nearby friend or neighbor who helps out by keeping my dog company while I’m away, so they always have a friendly face to spend time with.

-Work-from-Home Vibes: I work from home or have flexible hours, so my dog is always underfoot, getting all the attention and love they need while I handle my day.

Where will the dog sleep at night? *

The Bed Buddy – My dog will be snuggled up in bed with me, ready for cuddles all night long. I’m all about that cozy, close-to-me connection.

The Cozy Crate Dweller – My dog will sleep in a crate in my room, where they can feel secure and comfy but also have their own space. I’m a fan of the crate life for a peaceful sleep.

The Bedroom Snoozer – My dog will sleep in my bedroom, but not on the bed. They’ll have their own bed or blanket in the room, close by but with their own space.

The Living Room Lounger – My dog will sleep in the living room or another area of the house, where they can spread out and enjoy their own space at night.

The Outside Explorer – My dog will sleep outside in a secured area or dog house, enjoying the fresh air while staying safe and comfortable.

The Freedom Seeker – I’m open to letting my dog sleep wherever they feel comfortable, whether that’s the bed, the couch, or their own special spot.

If you have other dogs in the home, do you allow them to graze on their food throughout the day(free-feed) or do they have scheduled feeding times? *

Written Response:

Do you allow your pets on the couch? *

Yes.

No.

Tell Us About Your Other Pets

Why are we asking about your other pets?
Because we want to make sure everyone gets along in the family! We know some pets are social butterflies, while others prefer to keep to themselves. By learning about your other pets, we can ensure a smooth transition for your new dog, so nobody feels like they’re being crowded out of their territory.

Please list any other DOGS currently in the home using the same format below:

Do you have any cats in the home?

If so, do they have a designated space for their food, litter box, and a quiet area where they can retreat for some peace away from the dog? *

(Because, let’s face it, dogs often think the litter box is a treasure chest, see the cat’s food as an all-you-can-eat buffet, or have no clue that the cat might not be ready to sign a friendship contract just yet!)

Veterinary Care

We ask for your vet's information because it helps us ensure your pets are receiving the appropriate care they need. It also allows us to verify that your current pets are up to date on vaccinations, preventatives (like heartworm and flea/tick), and other essential health protocols. We understand that some people prefer a more holistic approach or may not take their pets to the vet unless absolutely necessary. It doesn’t make you a bad pet owner, but due to the often poor condition that many of our dogs are in when they come to us, we need to ensure that you're prepared to continue meeting their vetting needs. For the dog’s health and safety, we require that all dogs in the home be up to date on necessary vetting. Unless you're willing to get them updated and continue providing proper care, we unfortunately won’t be able to move forward with your application.

Are your dogs current on their Rabies and DHLPP vaccinations, which are required to adopt from us unless deemed unnecessary by your vet due to age or medical issues? *

Yes.

No.

Written Response:

(Please note, we will confirm vaccination status directly with your vet, so please ensure that your vet has this information on file.)

Is your dog on heartworm prevention? *

No

Yes, name of brand?

Heartworm prevention is vital to protect your dog from potentially life-threatening heartworm disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes. This simple monthly medication helps prevent heartworms, which can cause severe damage to the heart and lungs. It’s a small step that makes a big difference in your dog’s health, and we’ll check with your vet to verify that they’re up to date.

What is the name of the veterinary clinic you use?

If you don’t currently have a vet, please enter "None" in the name field and "000-000-0000" for the phone number. *

***Please alert your vet that we will be calling to confirm your pets are up to date on their shots and heart-worm prevention.***
