NCSR Application for Adoption
There is an Adoption Fee when Adoption is finalized that will be between $200-$300. (This helps defray the rescue's vet costs for spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm treatments and preventive, and many other medical costs incurred while in foster care, and is determined by the age of the dog that is being adopted.) PLEASE COMPLETE ALL QUESTIONS ON THIS FORM. If the question does not apply, answer with an "N/A" as a blank line may delay the processing of your application. NOTE: We cover and adopt out only to current residents of NORTH CAROLINA. By filling out and submitting this document, you are agreeing to allow us to contact your personal references and Veterinary reference to find out any necessary information regarding your current or previous animals.

NOTE: There is the possibility that the dog(s) you apply for could be adopted by someone else before you complete the application approval process. Please only apply if you are willing to entertain other dogs for adoption as they come into the rescue, and are not just set on adopting 1 particular dog. You may still be able to adopt the dog you apply for, but understand that statuses of the dogs can change on a daily basis, and we receive MANY applications for each dog.
