The Adoption Process

At Dogs in Distress (DID), we’re more than just a rescue organization – we’re a network of compassionate fosterers dedicated to providing temporary havens for the dogs we rescue. Our fosterers play a crucial role in offering these dogs a safe and nurturing environment, allowing us to learn more about their personalities and needs. Unlike traditional shelters, we don’t operate from a fixed premises where dogs can be visited; instead, our foster-based approach ensures that each dog receives personalized care tailored to their unique requirements.

To explore the dogs currently seeking their forever homes, head over to the dogs needing homessection of our website. If you are interested in adopting any of our dogs, our adoption process is simple:

1. Fill out our Adoption Form online HERE.

2. One of our dedicated volunteers will reach out to discuss your application.

3. We’ll arrange a home visit at your convenience.

4. Meet the dog you’re interested in and spend some time getting to know each other.

5. Take 24 hours to ensure it’s the perfect match for you and your new companion.

6. Complete the donation and adoption agreement.

7. Bring your new family member home! Don’t forget to bring a collar and ID tag for your dog’s safety.
