Frequently Asked Questions

Our Rehoming Program is designed to help dogs find their forever home while avoiding a shelter environment. We prioritize the well being of the dog by ensuring our procedures limit stress during the rehoming process.

Visit our rehoming page for more information on the program, procedures, and fees.

First, you'll need to fill out our rehoming application. Once we receive it, we’ll review your answers to determine if your dog is a good candidate for our program. If so, we’ll contact you to schedule a phone call where we’ll ask a few additional questions and explain the next steps.

From there, we’ll book an in-person behavioral evaluation to meet you and your dog.

Please note: Acceptance into the program is only confirmed after this evaluation, based on the behaviors observed during the meeting.

If you choose to move forward after your dog is accepted, we’ll ask you to sign the necessary rehoming documents and complete the required steps. Once that’s done, we’ll schedule a surrender day.

On surrender day, you’ll have the chance to say goodbye to your dog. We ask that you bring a full bag of food and three months’ worth of any medication, if applicable. After your goodbye, the dog will take part in a professional photoshoot for our social mediaand adoption page. Once the shoot is done, they will go directly to their foster home.

We’re happy to provide updates throughout the process if you’d like.

Anyone who’s been part of a dog’s journey is important to us, and we aim to make this process as supportive and smooth as possible.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us.

No, we screen the dogs properly before they are accepted into the program. The screening process includes: Candidacy form, phone call, and in person evaluation. The dog’s needs must match our resources in order to ensure success for rehoming.

If your dog isn’t accepted into our program, you’ll receive an email letting you know. We understand how difficult rehoming can be, so we’ll also provide a list of other helpful resources and are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Timelines can vary with each dog. After we receive your application, an evaluation is typically done based on availability. If your dog is accepted into our program, placement into foster care usually takes around 2–4 weeks. Once in our care, adoption typically takes between 2–8 weeks, depending on factors like the dog’s medical needs, behavior, and interest from potential adopters. Every dog is different, so timing may vary.
