Apply For Adoption

Interstate K9

🐾 How to Apply to Adopt

To adopt one of our animals, please follow these steps carefully:

  1. Fill out the form below. This 1 page form is the only form you will fill out. We like to continue the adoption process through chit chatting via Facebook messenger or in email. 
    Make sure the animal you want is still available.— applying without confirmation (that the animal is still available) is at your own risk. But don't worry, there are so many more needing homes, and the app fee carries!

  2. Pay the $25 application fee. (just once, if you happen to get a pop up to pay again)
    This fee is non-refundable, as are all deposits or adoption fees.

  3. Contact us after applying!
    You must contact us right away to complete your application to send the extra requirements:

We won’t chase you down — if you don’t reach out, your application stays incomplete!

  1. Submit any required info and photos mentioned to us via Facebook messenger or email.

📩 For all other questions, you can also use the contact form.
