Ridgeback Application

Non-Ridgeback or Mix Application

Matching:

We are all about matching our dogs to the correct families. We believe the dog becomes a member of the family, so we want the entire family to meet the dog prior to adoption. If you have other dogs, we properly introduce your chosen dog to the other dogs. We welcome you to schedule a time to meet at the shelter or a neutral location for the introduction.

Home Visit:

We perform a home visit to introduce the dog into the home, help set initial boundaries, and help identify any improvements for the dog's safety.

Adoption Fee:

$150 for Non-Ridgebacks and Mixes

$250 for Ridgebacks

Post Adoption:

We like to hear from the new family within a couple of days after adoption to hear about progress. We are available for questions about training, behavior, and other dog-related issues at any time.
