Adopting


Thank you for your interest in adopting a dog from and saving a life through Pawsitive Match!

Please fill in the application on this page so we can best match your new companion to your home and lifestyle.

Or, if you prefer, you can download the application and return it to us by e-mail.

In the event we get more than one application for a particular dog, we try to provide the best match for the dog and the adoptive family.

Also keep in mind that the dog you are interested in may not yet be in our care, but rather a high-kill shelter waiting to be saved.  In such cases, we will do our best to keep you informed and up-to-date on the status of the dog.


Feel free to contact us anytime with questions.
