Filling out this application does not in any way guarantee that you will be approved for adoption through our Rescue. We are all volunteers who have donated a lot of money, time, sweat, tears and love into each and every one of these dogs. We, as a rescue and as foster parents, love them dearly and know each of their special needs and unique personalities. We simply see this as our "charity" to help these fur-kids in need. Please understand, unless we truly believe that your home, based on the information YOU have provided us, and the special needs of the chosen animal are a PERFECT match, your application may be held until we find you to be a better match for another rescued dog in the future. If that happens, PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS PERSONALLY.
Our sole purpose is to represent our dogs and to speak for them. That's just what we do.
Thank you for filling out this questionnaire. This will help us to place the proper dog with the appropriate owner. If there are any facts that you feel we should know about concerning your desire to adopt one of our pets, please be sure to let us know.
If you have further inquiries, please call Regina Goodhall at 218-681-7405 (home) or 218-686-3279 (cell). We prefer to call back collect as our funds are limited and reserved for the dogs.
