Adoption Application Process

Adopting a RezDawg Rescue animal is a meaningful experience. You’re not only opening your heart and home to a new family member, you’re part of a larger effort to make a difference for stray and abandoned animals. Many of our adopters tell us, “My RezDawg animal rescued me!”

To ensure we match our animals to an appropriate family and lifestyle, we ask that you answer the questions on our adoption application carefully and completely. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption we feel is not a good long-term fit. A refusal does not reflect on you as a person. In fact, it simply means that the pet may not be best suited to your circumstances.
