The companies website is the best resource for an explanation on doggy adoption. It's takes a few days but really a simple process. Good luck with finding your next four-legged friend

No the dogs are not free but I think the cost is 80.00 but the fix the dog and give it all of its shots and also they put a chip in the dog with all of your information so if the dog gets out or they pick it up they will scan the dog and know who it belongs to.

So taking a dog from its owner because they dont have money to treat it is better than fixing thw animal and keeping it until owners can pay then adoption if no return. I know i will not call for help ever again since i learned how it goes. I would rather have her dead than away from me. Maybe this is how people should be treated if they cant afford certain situations. Thanks for the response after 7 -8 months

Hi Kennra, please feel free to reach out to our behavior and training hotline at 202-375-7744 in regards to this question. Thank you so much!

If you like the dog you can go home with it that day. I would say plan on spending 1.5 to 2 hours there to see the dogs and depending on the day u may have to wait for someone. Spend a good half hour outside with at least two of your favorite choices and get a good feeling about the one u want. Read their history. How they came in. Off the street. How long have they been at the shelter health issues they had and treated for and are they up to date on shots. This location has all the info it can have on the animals and ask them how they have reacted to the shelter to the play time the workers and other dogs since they have been at the shelter. Then play with the dog yourself for 30 minutes at least. Get an older dog if it will be in the house alone for extended time while u work. I recommend if it's a pittbull which is all I have ever adopted 2 years to 3 years old and give it freedom and multiple toys to chew on while your gone. Peanut butter frozen inside a Kong works
