ABOUT US
To start the process to meet any of our dogs, first submit this application: http://form.jotform.us/form/41555257797165 and then notify your vet we'll be calling for a reference. Prior to meeting you, all of our dogs have been seen by a vet, received vaccinations and a 4DX test if 6 months or older, been wormed and treated with flea/tick preventative and received a health certificate. This vetting is done before we even bring them into our foster home. We advise all adopters to have a fecal test done within 2 weeks of adoption in the event that our fecal test was a false negative due to no worms having passed in that stool sample.
Emails are responded to but we do not put you into the queue to adopt until your application is received. Casual emails with us will not get you a meeting with any of our dogs. If you're serious about adopting, please submit the application. The way our application is set up, it will also help you assess if you are even ready to adopt/realistic about adopting.
Adoption Fees: Up to 6 years old $325+tax 7-8 years old $275+tax 9+ years old $200+tax
Adoption Application
So many people inquire but do not submit an application. Here's a tip: we do not proceed with a meet-n-greet until we review an application (to see if you and the dog are a potential good fit). So if you don't bother to submit the app, no matter how many emails you send us, you are not in the running to adopt the dog. Also you need to check your email if you contact us. We've had people yell at us for not responding to them, meanwhile our response has been sitting in their in box for over a week. In the interim, we have assumed since they didn't respond they are not interested and we have moved on to the next adopter.
If you are more than 75 minutes from zip code 18330, you must drive to us to adopt after the home visit is complete.
Our process: application, vet reference check, conversation about the dog, home visit, meet the dog. If interested in this dog, submit the application to start the process. We adopt to suburban areas of PA, NJ, CT, southern upstate NY, DE or MD. Long distance adopters must come to us in northeastern PA to adopt after the application is approved and home visit is complete.

We are not a shelter. Our dogs are fostered in a home environment. All meetings are by appointment. If you are interested in meeting or possibly adopting this dog, please submit an application to begin the process. We respond to inquiries via email. Please watch your email for a response, usually within 12 hours.
