The application is a two-way tool; it tells us a lot of information about potential adopters and it hopefully makes adopters think about the process of adopting a rescued dog.

And a most amazing transformation. Buddy (originally Clifford) started out as a scared, matted mess in a shelter. Cleaned up and with his mats shaved off, he went on to become a STAR! You can see Buddy as he is today on this website:  http://thepetlawn.com/

Your application is kept on file until a dog comes into rescue that's a potential match for your family. You will generally not be contacted prior to that. Our volunteers cannot prescreen everyone who applies to adopt. If you feel your application may not have been successfully submitted, please use this form to inquire.

Changing lives ... one Havanese at a time.
