Adoption Application

Before you apply

We read every application with care so we can match each dog to the right home. That means reviewing your answers, checking vet and housing references, and staying in touch during the process. These steps take time and real rescue resources like medical care, transport, and day-to-day supplies.

Application fee

  • The application fee is $20.00 and is non-refundable.
  • It helps cover rescue costs such as vaccinations, spay or neuter, medications, food, transport, and admin work.
  • It is separate from the adoption fee that is paid only if you adopt.
  • It does not guarantee approval and does not place a hold on a specific dog.
  • It is a one-time charge per application.

If the fee is a hardship, email us at adoptions@chunkzandtubzrescue.org before you apply and we will try to help.
