How to Adopt?
We believe that there is a perfect four legged friend waiting for every adopter and part of our adoption process is ensuring that each adopter is matched to both a breed and a dog that is suitable for them. Adding a new member to your family is a big commitment and our team will walk you through the process and will offer support, knowledge and expertise.

2. Interview with one of our adoption coordinators/Home visit
Once approved, the focus will be on a dog who would be a suitable match followed by an in-home interview to be sure that you have a safe, happy environment as well as to address any concerns the adopter might have.
​
3. Cover Adoption fees
Puppies (under the age of 1 year) - $ 900
Adults (1 year to 7 years) - $ 675
Seniors (8 years and over) - $ 425
Adoption fees include: Age appropriate vaccines, deworming, various blood work tests, preventative flea and tick treatment, medical exam, microchip and spay/neuter.
We do our best to address medical issues of dogs when they come into our care (some of the challenges we have tackled include cruciate repairs, eye removal, allergies, dental work, ear infections etc). Also includes a martingale collar, leash and ID Tag........and you also get the dog!
** We are only responsible for vet care for dogs under the TDRI wing. Once an adoption contract has been signed, the new owner is fully responsible for the health and welfare of their new dog.
