PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING THE APPLICATION • Secure fencing is required although we may consider other applications on a case by case basis. • LGDs (livestock guardian dogs): We occasionally have experienced LGDs available for adoption, however, if the dog has not been evaluated and proven to be trustworthy with livestock, we cannot place it in a working LGD home. • We prefer applicants who are at least 21 years or older. If you are under 21, living with a roommate or are still living at home, in a dorm, or in an apartment, we will consider applications on a case by case basis. • We are committed to finding the best-matched homes for our dogs and screen all applicants carefully. When possible we will do home visits and meet and greets. • We require veterinary references on all applications. • We do follow-ups with our adopting families to make sure the honeymoon phase transitions into a stable, loving relationship that will remain for years to come. • Transport options may be available, depending on where you live. • Please note that there is NO guarantee made, express or implied, that any person requesting to adopt a dog through NASRN, or a dog posted on NASRN's Website, will be approved. • NOTE: NASRN does not adopt dogs outside of the contiguous U.S. Completing the application will give us more information on you, your home and family, both two-legged and four-legged. This is the first step in the adoption process. The application process helps us to get to know you better and do our best to make the best match possible for you and the dog. Completing an application does not guarantee an adoption. If your application is approved, the next step is to pay your adoption fee and sign the adoption agreement. If this is a long distance adoption, transport options will be discussed following approval. PAY my adoption fee via PayPal Giving Fund or Stripe for credit card transactions Your adoption coordinator will tell you what the adoption fee is. Adoption fees: Varies according to age, special needs and mix $100-$300 Discounted fees: Senior dogs, dogs with special needs and some mixes. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the number of people not paying their adoption fees or writing bad checks, we now require all adoption fees paid before/when the dog is picked up. Adoption fee includes the following: • Spay or neuter the dog • Fully vaccinate, including Rabies • Heartworm Test • Fecal--test and treat for internal parasites • Treat for external parasites • Give a general veterinary exam Fencing Requirements We recommend having a fence that is a minimum height of 4.5 feet. Considerations for a home with a 4 ft fence will be made on an individual basis, dependent upon the dog in question. Please be aware that some dogs will have more specific fencing needs.
