Adoption Process

Watch the Mitten Mutts Facebook page or website to see available dogs that we post.

​

Choose a pet and fill out our adoption application.

​

Once you fill out the Adoption Application (link above), our volunteers will check your references, review your application, and respond to your adoption application within a week. (We are all volunteers here at Mitten Mutts so please be patient with us!)

​

If your application seems like a good fit, we will schedule a home visit. Please note that most of our dogs receive multiple applications so submitting an application does not guarantee you will get the pet.

​

After the home visit, we will schedule a meet and greet.

​

If the meet and greet goes well, you will pay the adoption fee for your MItten Mutt via check, PayPal, or Venmo and sign a contract.

• For dogs who are 6 months old or younger - Fee is $250

• For dogs between 7 months and 6 years of age - Fee is $200

• For dogs 7 years or older - Fee is $150

​

The dog will then be in a trial period with you. If after a few days, things are still going well, you will let us know. At that time, we will deposit the adoption fee. We will also sign and send you a copy of the contract and transfer your dog's microchip to you.

​

CONGRATS! You officially have your new best friend!!

Adoption Requirements

Fix 'em up.

All current pets in your household must be spayed or neutered.​

​

Keep them healthy.

Adopter should provide all necessary vet care including by not limited to annual vaccinations, heart worm testing, and preventative measures.

​

These are your fur babies.

We want our dogs to be members of the family and be able to spend time with their people, not left outside.

​

Bring it back!

If an adopter isn't able to keep the dog, they should be returned to Mitten Mutts Dog Rescue.
