Dog Adoption Application

3. We reserve the right to visit the home where the dog will be residing prior to foster or adoption.

5. We do not allow any dogs to be chained, tied up, or locked in a garage or crated for 5+ hours.

6. Our dogs are "family" dogs. We do not allow our dogs to be "outside only."

7. Adoption donations allow Second Chance Dogs (SCD) to pursue our goals of vetting and rehoming dogs in need.

Donation Information and Notes
Our dogs are in private foster homes; all applications must be pre-approved before meeting the dog.

Adoption fees are determined on an individualized basis. Expenses for out-of-state transports & vet care are factored into the amount. Our primary goal is to find responsible and loving forever homes.

Once a "meet and greet" has been arranged, please bring:
- Pet ID tag (with your contact info)
- Leash
- Collar
- Personal check or cash for the adoption donation
Special Notes:
- Sometimes several people apply for the same dog. We make our final decision based upon which applicant we feel would provide the best "forever home" for the particular dog. With multiple applications of qualified loving people, we take into consideration matching the dog's temperament and personality with the people and lifestyle best suited for sharing their lives with the dog.
- When introducing two new dogs at a "meet and greet", we require that both dogs must be on a leash and be under control for an introduction, side by side walk. Dogs are not allowed to meet head on, face to face, no matter how friendly they may seem.
- Dogs that are fostered or adopted through any rescue group may sometimes have behavioral issues. We are willing to help you, to the best of our ability, with basic issues, adjustments and suggestions to make the new transition as easily as possible.
- It is recommended that a dog never be confined alone in a room, behind a closed door. (S)he will want to get out. We suggest putting up a child's gate so the dog can still see out and won't feel so confined.
- We are not professional trainers and cannot guarantee our suggestions will always work.
- We offer consultations during the first 90 days of the adoption. After that time, special cases will need to be reviewed by the SCD Board of Directors. Each dog is an individual. You may also want to consult with a professional dog trainer in your area
Thank you for considering adoption of a Second Chance Dogs rescue dog!
