Gregory's Gift of Hope

Adoption Requirements • You must be at least 21 years old to adopt • The entire household must be in agreement about adopting the dog you choose • You may not adopt for someone else or for a gift • The dog must be kept as a house dog, not to be left outdoors for extended periods of time (in yard, tethered, or left in kennel) • You must comply with our Fencing Policy • All resident pets MUST be up to date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered • We encourage that all dogs under 3 years old attend training sessions, either private or group • We limit our adoptions to suitable adopters that reside within a 100 mile radius of our facility Adoption Process • Read our Fencing Policy • Complete an adoption application (Submitting an application does not reserve your spot for the dog. You must meet the dog before being considered an applicant.) • Application & references are reviewed • Dogs are shown by appointment only; we will connect with you to make this appointment • A home visit is then scheduled • And finally, if everything works out, a pick-up time will be set for you to bring your new canine companion home We cannot guarantee a time-frame for completion of the full process - each application has its own considerations and if there are multiple applications for the same animal, the process is obviously lengthened. Exit veterinary visits can sometimes take a few days depending on their availability. You must also take into consideration that we are an animal "rescue" facility and emergencies often arise which take precedence over everything. We will do our best, however, to move things along in as timely a manner as we possibly can. Adoption Fee Incudes: • Six months & older - dog is spayed/neutered* • Treatment for external & internal parasites • Heartworm test • Microchip • Age appropriate vaccinations • Exit exam and health certificate by our veterinarian prior to release from GGOH Seniors (9 years and older) - $200 Adults (12 month and older) - $325 Puppies (under 12 months) - $500 Note: the higher cost for puppies relates directly to the amount of care and frequency of vaccinations which they require. *We spay/neuter all animals prior to their release with the exception of those deemed too young or those who are under weight or physically unable to undergo the procedure at the time of adoption; in those instances the adoptive party will be responsible for arranging the altering when the appropriate time presents itself. We will provide a contract, which you must sign, stating that you agree to have the animal altered as soon as medically possible. It is the responsibility of the adoptive party to fund the spay/neuter.
