Quality Placement

01. Meet Requirements

  • Must have a fenced in yard for dogs (no invisible fencing)
  • Must live within a 50 mile radius
  • Any animals that you own must be spayed/neutered and up-to-date on vaccines. We will verify with your veterinarian.

Application

02. Complete and Mail Application

Download and print the PDF application below. Complete the application, and mail it to us at P.O. Box 2481, Chesterton, Indiana, 46304. It usually takes 3-5 days for an adoption/foster team to process your application. If your application is approved, we will schedule an introductory call and set an appointment for a home visit in which ALL MEMBERS of the household MUST be present.

Selection

03. Choose your Pet

You will be given photos of animals that are up for adoption/foster that fit both your needs as well as the animal’s needs. Once you have chosen 3-5 animals from the photos, we will bring the chosen animals to the shelter for you to meet. 

Adoption

04. Long-term Happiness

Our organization is very careful when it comes to adoptions. We fit the family or person(s) to the animal. We want to make sure your new family member will remain in your family and not have to be returned. Of course, we will ALWAYS accept one of our animals back without question or judgment if things do not work out, but it is so traumatic on the pet when they are returned. Behavioral issues and other health issues can lead to big problems. Our goal is to keep your new pet happy and secure with their new family in their forever home.
