Adoption Application
If you are interested in adopting, please complete and submit the application on this page to get the process started. You will be contacted by email or phone. Please keep in mind that some dogs receive several applications for adoption. For this reason, we can not respond to all applicants immediately. If you do not receive a response within 72 hours, please email us back. Only one application per family is required. If after you submit this application you see a different puppy of interest, please e-mail us at info@poundpuppyrescue.org We will keep your application on file for one year.
Please note that we adopt to families local to the San Francisco Bay Area, and we do not adopt to families with kids under 6.
Any additional comments or questions can be made at the end of application. After completing application, don't forget to scroll to the bottom of the page and click "SUBMIT". Fields marked with a red asterisk * are required. Incomplete applications will not be considered. The more detailed your responses are the better the application.
We are not hosting adoption events at this time. Please see our FAQ pages.
If there is an event scheduled (posted on www.poundpuppyrescue.org and our Facebook Page) within 24 hours of your application submission, please feel free to come even if you don't hear from us, but be sure print and bring your application with you, and read our FAQ pages. Your application will be emailed to you.
