IF YOU MEET OUR DOGS AT A MEET AND GREET EVENT YOU MAY APPLY ANYTIME AS THEY WILL ONLY HAVE BIOS POSTED IF THEY DID NOT RECIEVE APPLICATIONS AT THIS EVENT.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING

We request the following information in an attempt to assist you with the selection of your companion animal. The animal’s welfare is our foremost consideration. This process is designed to help us determine if the placement is in the animal’s best interest and to assist you in finding an animal best suited to your lifestyle. SCAAR reserves the right to refuse an adoption to anyone for any reason. No animal will be adopted to prospective owners who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on this application.

**WE DO NOT reply to all adoption applications. We are a volunteer based rescue and some dogs receive numerous applications in a short period of time. Only approved applicants will receive a reply email.
**IT IS NOT A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE PROCESS - IT IS BEST FIT FOR THE DOG!**

The adoption fee for all dogs is $500 (unless otherwise stated) and is due at the time of adoption. We do not do payment plans.
The adoptions team reviews applications fairly quickly. Typically it only takes 24 hours -48 hours to review and approve an application. If you have already had an application approved it will be much quicker.
The adoptions team will send you a text shortly after sending you an email to ensure that you check your junk folder for our reply email.
PLEASE DO NOT GHOST US AFTER FILLING OUT AN APPLICATION. We are all volunteers and are trying to get these sweet souls adopted into loving families. If you receive an email reply from us PLEASE reply even if you are no longer able to adopt.
