About

A Doberman Adoption Placement Team (ADAPT) is a group of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to save the lives of homeless Doberman Pinschers in TX and, upon occasion, surrounding states. Most of our members reside in and around North Houston. We rescue, heal, and rehabilitate before meeting our primary goal of placing these beautiful dogs into safe and loving homes. Homes where they can live out their lives as wonderful companions to those who are lucky and caring enough to welcome them.

Adoption process

Fill out Adoption APPLICATION with your adoption interest. We will help you from that point on.. You will first be required to complete our Adoption Application. Once received, our representative will contact you via phone or e-mail. If it seems you are a good fit for each other based on the info you provided, a phone interview will follow. If you are renting, we require proof that you are allowed to have a pet as well as any breed or size restrictions that may exist. If you have pets or did previously, we require your vet information and we will call them to verify that your pets are in good health, current on vaccines and spayed/neutered. We require that all pets in the home be spayed/neutered unless there are health reasons that can be verified with the vet. The final step is a home visit, where our volunteer comes to your home to verify your home is a safe place for an animal. It is also a time where the volunteer can answer questions and discuss safety precautions. In our Adoption Agreement, we require that every animal be spayed/neutered (if not prior to adoption) by a specific date. This is VERY important as the overpopulation of dogs and cats in our country is a sad result of too many unplanned litters! If for any reason the match is not as perfect as we all had hoped, the dog must be returned to ADAPT, not given away or turned in to a shelter. Serious fines apply to violators of the ADAPT Agreement to Adopt. So be clear about what you are signing and be prepared to abide by the contract. It is legally binding and we take it very seriously. Our adoption fees range depending on the animal and the vetting the animal has received. Our adoption fees are set to allow us to cover our expenses as well as to help other animals in our program that require additional care. Our fees cover vetting costs, shelter fees, fuel for transport, copying and printing of contracts and paperwork, our website presence, food, boarding, behavioral training and additional medical care. It is important to note that while the animal you adopt may not require all of these things, many other animals in our system do. Thus, any “extra” money from adoption fees goes to help those animals who may require additional care. By adopting from ADAPT, you are not saving just one life, you are helping to save others as well.
