Adopt a dog and save a life!
By adopting a dog, instead of purchasing from a backyard breeder or an online pet store, you are saving a life! At Dog Gone Seattle, we pride ourselves on matchmaking potential adopters with a dog suited to a family’s environment, activity level, household, and more. We want to ensure that every dog in our rescue goes to a well-matched home and for that reason, we offer a full refund of adoption fees if the dog is not a good match.
Our Process
The process for adopting a dog is as follows.
- Enquire about the availability of a dog in our care
- Complete an adoption application
- Meet and greet with the dog
- Home visit (if required)
- Review vet records, sign adoption contract, pay adoption fee
- Take home your new family member!
