Dog Adoption Form

You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt one of our animals.

We ask that you complete this application to enable NEW BEST FRIEND RESCUE to determine whether your family and the pet for which you are applying are a suitable match. The welfare of our animals is our primary concern so we make every effort to ensure they get the best possible home – not all puppies or dogs will be compatible with your family situation. It is very important that you answer all questions honestly and accurately.

We reserve the right to decline any application.

Our adoption fee is $350 but in some instances may be higher. This includes vaccinations, spay or neuter and microchip.
