best help you understand our adoption process. After you've learned about the Meet Your Match program, you'll be asked to fill out an adopter survey. After your survey is completed, please give us up to 72 hours to review your submission. (Please note that we are an all volunteer organization, so your patience is greatly appreciated). After we process the information you have provided, we will contact you via email or telephone, so please be ready to communicate with us. We will likely have a short conversation, including whether you would like to be formally matched with an available pet, or if you have already made a tentative decision based on Meet Your Match criteria, and the individual pets biographical information that we have provided. By working together, we can find a way to include (rather than exclude) nearly every applicant. Pet Central believes that pets and people belong together. It's time to Meet Your Match! Gizmo is a two year old neutered male Shih-Tzu. He gets along with other dogs and enjoys cuddling with his human. Gizmo is a guy who knows what he wants and will do anything to get it. He can be a bit particular about allowing a human to boss him around. Gizmo is a good eater and is now mostly house trained. He stays in the yard with his foster siblings and comes when called. Gizo hates that silly crate his foster mom makes him stay in while she is gone and has no problem telling her about it. He would make a good addition to a child-free home with very experienced and patient dog owners who are looking for a king for their castle! His adoption fee is $245. If you would like to meet this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey (This is your adoption application) at: https://petcentralhelps.formstack.com/forms/adoption_survey_application_dog_or_puppy After we review your completed survey we will contact you by phone or email within 72 hours (We're an all-volunteer organization, so we appreciate your patience. Please note that we are also closed on Sunday and Wednesday and will not be processing applications on those days). Please be ready so that we can connect. We will then have a short conversation in order to set up a meeting for possible adoption. At the time of the meeting you will take your new pet home if a match is made. We do ask that you bring a leash or carrier in addition to the adoption fee. We don't accept checks, but do take cash in the exact amount, and debit/credit cards. Thank you for considering a rescue pet!

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
