D.A.S.H. Rescue Adoption Application
We ask that all potential adopters fill out an application first. This gives us time to contact your references and helps to give us a general idea of what kind of animal you are interested in. Please give your veterinarian permission to speak with us. After this is completed, we will contact you to do an email/phone/home interview that allows us to: 1) Get to know you better 2) See the environment in which the adopted animal will live 3) Better learn which animal will be the best match for you. Our animals are rescues and may have an adoption fee that varies. Completing an application does not guarantee adoption. Please complete the application in its entirety. Incomplete applications & applications without photos will delay processing. Thank you!
