How Adoption Works

Five simple steps to adopt

  1. Browse available dogs

    Meet our current adoptable pups on the home page. New dogs are added often.

  2. Submit your application

    Fill out our online adoption application so we can learn about your home and lifestyle.

  3. Meet & greet

    We'll connect you with the dog's foster to arrange a meet-and-greet and answer your questions.

  4. Adoption approval

    Once your application is reviewed and approved, we'll confirm your adoption and share next steps.

  5. Complete your adoption contract

    After official approval, complete and return the adoption contract, then bring your fully-vetted new family member home!

Adoption contract

The adoption contract is required, but only after your adoption has been officially approved. Do not complete it until our team confirms your approval. When you're ready, download the contract, fill it out, and return it as directed by your adoption coordinator.

Every dog adopted from Road Dogg Rescue is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and fully vetted before going home.

  • Dogs live in real foster homes, so we know their personalities
  • Adoption fees help cover vetting and care for the next dog in need
  • We're here to support you before and after adoption
