                           Redland Rock Pit Abandoned Dogs Project Inc. Adoption Process
Thank you for choosing to adopt a pet! The decision to adopt a pet is an important one which we take very seriously.
Before submitting the application, please take a moment to read and carefully complete the adoption application
entirely. Please understand that if information is left unanswered, it will delay processing.
In order to adopt a pet from Redland Rock Pit Abandoned Dogs Project Inc., the applicant must be at least 25 years
old (will consider younger applicants on a case by case basis), be able to provide references, identification, consent
to a home visit and pay the adoption fee. Please visit our website www.redlandrockpt.org to see our available dogs.
All of our dogs come spayed or neutered (if they are too young, you will need to agree to a Spay/Neuter Contract
when they turn of age), up to date on vaccinations, microchip, heartworm tested, current on flea/tick and heartworm
prevention, dewormed and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. Sometimes dogs are being
treated for ailments and will need continued veterinarian care. If you choose to adopt a dog receiving treatment you
agree to continue with our vet and medication. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services and makes it
possible for us to continue rescuing dogs.
An application does not obligate you to adopt and can be transferred to any dog. Please understand that due to the
volume of applications some dogs receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a
good fit for the dog you are interested in or even a different dog, a volunteer will give you a call within 7-10 days. If
you would like to transfer your application to a different dog, please email us immediately and we will tell you if the
dog chosen is still available and or if it will be a good fit.
Adopting a new pet is a commitment for the lifetime of your new dog! We like to make sure that your new dog is a
good fit for your entire family including your existing pets. After a trial adoption period if you are ready to commit
we will finalize your adoption. Adoption fee(s) will be due at that time. Fees are as followed: All puppies (12 months
or younger) adoption fees will be $300, any adults (13 months or older) will be $250; excluding any toy, small or
purebred dogs which will have an adoption fee of $350.
Redland Rock Pit Abandoned Dogs Project Inc. reserves the right to deny any application. Thank you for your
patience and cooperation.
