What are the basic requirements to adopt through SOS DOGS?
In order to adopt through SOS, we must have knowledge of your home environment and family composition. We also require vet references so that we may talk to your vet about the care you gave or are giving your dog(s). We get a majority of this information from your Adoption Application. SOS Dogs maintains high standards when reviewing adoption applications. Our primary objective is to find the BEST home for each particular dog. All our rules and restrictions are designed to achieve that goal. The following preliminary guidelines should help you determine your qualifications: • For the safety of both the child and the small dog, we cannot adopt to anyone with children under the age of 5. We welcome children 5 and over. • For safety reasons, we cannot adopt to anyone with large and/or aggressive pets but welcome small, loving dogs and cats. • We will not approve homes that employ invisible fencing systems that employ shock collars. We think these are cruel, especially for smaller breeds.
