Shelter Information Santa Ana, CA
Note: The adoption application can be filled out before meeting the dog, upon meeting the dog, or after meeting the dog. 1. Initial discussion with potential adopters. 2. Meet and greet with dog (can be people and dogs or just people the first time). 3. Further meetings if needed to get dog and other pets in the home comfortable and/or get dog comfortable with adopters. 4. Home check (may be done after step 2/3 or concurrent with step 3). 5. Adoption agreement (we always take our dogs back if it doesn't work out). 6. Fee for most dogs: $200 (occasionally for an older dog or dog with medical issues the fee will be reduced or even waived in the case of a foster or someone who has provided care and monetary investment in the dog). We will refund the fee if the dog comes back to us within two weeks of adoption. After that period we keep the fee, but will always take the dog back.
