Adoptions

Walk-Ins are welcome to visit with our sweet puppies and dogs with an approved adoption application*!

Background checks, HOA pet policies and Vet Records (if applicable) will be required.

Each application is GENERAL and does not reserve a specific dog. Dogs are adopted on a first come, first serve basis.

*If you have previously submitted an application and everything has stayed the same, your application is still good, and there is no need to submit a new application!

Adoption fees are based on dog’s age, breed, and length of stay.

Benefits Included in Adoption Fee:

  • Veterinary Exam ($60.00)

  • Spay/neuter surgery ($400.00-$600.00)

  • All age-appropriate vaccinations ($60.00)

  • Rabies vaccination for dogs older than 4 months ($20.00)

  • Behavior Assessment by BDRR Trainers ($100.00)

  • One complimentary BDRR group training session - New! ($50.00)

  • Value of total benefits INCLUDED in your adoption fee: $785.00

    • Walk-ins are now being taken between the hours of 10 am-4 pm.

      Our last adoption is at 4:00, and our last meet and greet will be conducted at 3:30.

      Meet and greets do, however, require an appointment.

Interested in Adopting?

Once you’ve chosen the perfect pet and paid your adoption fee in full, you can bring home your best friend.

All of our rescues are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and are microchipped before adoption.

We will also send each pet home with sample food and one month’s supply of heartworm preventative medication based on available supplies.

What to Expect

All prospective adopters must fill out our application form on our website.

Once you have completed the application form, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with the title “Thank you for your submitting an adoption application with Big Dog Ranch Rescue!”

You must receive this email before the adoption process can begin, so please check your spam folders. If you did NOT receive it, you will need to re-submit your application.
