Our process

You must be 18+ to adopt and a Missouri resident.

Check your HOA or lease for pet permissions.

We do not adopt out dogs that will be living outside on a chain, in a fenced yard or in an outdoor kennel--that's why our volunteers work hard to kennel and potty train our dogs so they can live inside as a part of your family!

At the time of adoption, all of our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and  heart worm tested as appropriate for age, given flea/tick and heartworm preventative treatment and micro-chipped. 

We are continuously reviewing applications and will be in touch within 7 days if your application was selected.  Please keep an eye on your inbox and spam folder as we will email the chosen parties to discuss your application and set up a time to meet the dog you’ve applied for.  We wish you all luck as you search for a pet!
