Pyr Paws N Fluffy Tails Rescue: Adoption App

We know, we know—this application might be a bit lengthy. You’re here to adopt a dog, not apply for a mortgage, right? But hear us out!

These questions aren’t just here to fill space (or test your patience). We ask them because we want to make sure we’re playing matchmaker the right way—finding you a dog that fits your home, lifestyle, and energy level without any surprises. Think of it as a dating app for dog adoption—except instead of awkward small talk, you get a forever best friend.

So grab a snack, maybe a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine—we don’t judge), and let’s get started! We promise it’ll be worth it.

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.
If the dog I originally applied for is no longer available or isn’t the right match, my next preferred pup would be:
Where do you envision your new dog spending most of their time? *
Primarily indoors – The dog will live inside the home full-time and be considered a family companion.
Balanced indoor/outdoor lifestyle – The dog will have regular access to both indoor and outdoor areas.
Active outdoor companion – The dog will be included in regular outdoor activities such as hiking, running, or working on a property, while still living indoors.
Primarily outdoor – The dog will be kept outdoors the majority of the time, with appropriate shelter and care provided.
Livestock Guardian Dog – This dog will serve in a working role, living primarily outdoors with the flock or herd to protect and watch over poultry and/or livestock.

From A Rescue Dog:

Imagine being me. I don’t get a say when I lose my family, when my name changes, or when I’m dropped off at a loud, scary shelter where everything I knew disappears overnight. I don’t get to choose when I’m shuffled from kennel to foster, to a new home, and sometimes back again. All I can do is hope. Hope that this time, when someone promises ‘forever,’ they mean it. Because the truth is, I’ve already been failed once… some of us, even more than once. Each goodbye chips away at the little trust we have left, and every return makes us wonder if love was ever real at all.

If you take me home, what does ‘forever’ mean to you—and how will you show me I’ll never have to pack up my heart and start over again? *
Before you continue with this application, please take a moment to consider what these dogs have already been through. Many have lost the only homes they knew. They’ve had their names changed, been dropped at scary shelters, shuffled to foster homes, and then—sometimes—passed along again. Each move changes them. Each return leaves another mark. While we know life can bring unexpected challenges, for the dog it means starting over… again. Please be as sure as you can when adopting, because for them, this isn’t just a choice—it’s their entire life.

Why are we asking?

Because sometimes a dog’s "resume" changes once they start to settle in. Maybe they were a chill couch potato at intake… but now they’ve discovered the joy of zoomies and squeaky toys. Or maybe potty training is still... a work in progress. We want to make sure we’re giving you real-time info, not just the intro version of the dog who hadn’t fully come out of their shell yet. This helps us keep you in the loop if something important to you has changed—so you can decide if it’s still the right fit for your home.

Honest matches = happy homes!
