Pekes and Pals Dogs Rescue

We are a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to our dogs

Applying for Adoption

BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE ADOPTION APPLICATION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

Adoption fees range from $200 - $350, depending on the gender, age, size and health of the dog desired. Adoptions fees must be paid by bank check or cash. Personal checks are not accepted. Sorry, no exceptions.

Adoption donations are, without exception, NON-REFUNDABLE.

Read the Adoption Contract you are required to sign before you apply to adopt.

WE CHECK VET REFERENCES! If your current or previous pets are not altered or have not been kept up-to-date on shots, heartworm prevention and well-care, this application will be discarded.

We need to know as much about you as possible before we consider allowing you to adopt one of our rescues. The information you provide on our application/contract will help us determine the best possible match for you, as well as for the dog. Please answer all questions honestly, as there are no right or wrong answers.

Pekes and Pals relies on your donations to care for all the homeless dogs in our care. This donation helps defray the costs of veterinary care given to your dog prior to adoption. This care includes, but may not be limited to, all vaccinations, heartworm testing and prevention medication, flea prevention, fecal testing and worming if necessary and surgical procedure for spay/neuter. Your adoption donation also helps to feed, house and provide veterinary care for the dogs still waiting to be adopted, and is NON-REFUNDABLE. You are not buying a dog, you're making a donation. Out-of-state adoptions are acceptable but we do not ship our companion dogs and adopting families must come to Pekes and Pals to complete the adoption. Sorry, no exceptions.
