Dog Adoptions Form

Welcome to Best Friends’ Adoption Program. The following information is requested
so that we can assist you in the selection of a new dog. This form and a consultation
with a Best Friends representative are designed to help you find the dog most compatible
with your lifestyle.

In order to be considered as an adopter you must:
• Be 21 years of age or older.
• Have identification showing your present address.
• Have the knowledge and consent of your landlord.
• Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide training,
medical treatment and proper care for a pet.

Completion of this application does not guarantee adoption of a Best Friends dog.

Thank you!
