Adopting a friend:

We do our best to insure a good match between our rescued dogs and their new homes. Therefore, we ask that you complete an application. We will ask many questions about your home environment, your family and your current pets. Please understand that we are not trying to be 'nosy', just trying to help you find a pet that will fit well with your expectations and your lifestyle. We care very much about our little friends, and we know how traumatic it can be for them to go to a new home and then to be returned. We take extra care to make the 'right' match the first time around.

Adoption procedures:

If you have seen a dog or puppy on our website that interests you, completing an adoption application is the best place to start.  Application  The application will be reviewed and forwarded to the foster home. The foster home will talk with you to ensure a good match and if all agree, a time to meet the dog will be arranged.

Most of our dogs attend the adoption events - so if you are unsure of which one you would like to have as your new best friend, visit us at one of our events. Application forms are available at these events.

Once it has been determined that the match will be a good one for both dog and potential adopter(s), an adoption contract is completed between A New Leash on Life Dog Rescue and the adopter(s).

Adoption costs:

The adoption fee is $175 for an altered dog/puppy, and $300 for an unaltered puppy. Upon return of a spay/neuter "coupon" that is signed by the spay/neutering vet, along with a copy of a receipt showing that the spay/neuter was done, the adopter will receive a $125 reimbursement.

The adoption fee helps cover the cost of deworming, all proper and age appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter (age permitting), heartworm preventative, flea and tick preventatives, food and other vet costs as needed. Dogs are tested for heartworms and treated, if necessary.
