We do not adopt dogs on a first come first serve basis. Our number one priority is finding the BEST home for the dog. With your help, the adoption process can be conducted in a timely manner.
To be considered as an adopter, you must be 21 years of age or older.
Only approved adopters can meet our animals.
If you are currently at the legal limit of dogs allowed in your city/county you will not be approved.
Once we have received your application, we will start contacting your personal and veterinarian references. Please, let them know we will be contacting them so the process moves efficiently. After all of your references have been contacted, we will schedule a home visit. If possible, we will try to arrange a “meet & greet” at the same time with the animal you are interested in (for local adopters). If you are not local, we will be contacting a volunteer to help with the home visit.
If/when you are approved, you will begin the two-week trial period. During this time, Heath’s Haven will be responsible for providing any necessary medical treatment, food, collars/leashes, and any required medications and/or supplements. Once the trial period is over and you have decided to officially adopt, the adoption donation of $300 can be mailed or sent via Paypal or Venmo. If you decide not to adopt, the animal must be returned to Heath’s Haven.
**If you are adopting from out of state, we will do our best to help accommodate transportation by air/ground transport, depending on the special needs of the animal. Ultimately, you as the adopter are responsible for arranging transport, but we will help however we can.
**If any field on this application is left blank, it will not be submitted.
