Adoption process

1. Complete our online adoption application form. Fill it out completely to ensure we find you the best match. If you need a paper form, you can download a pdf version of our adoption application. Both require a $35 non-refundable processing fee. If your adoption application is denied, this processing fee will not be refunded. 2. You’ll receive an immediate email confirmation of your online application or e-mail/postcard within two weeks of receipt of your paper application. 3. An As Good as Gold volunteer will contact you to schedule a mutually convenient date for your home visit (all household members must be present). 4. You will be notified of application approval or denial no more than two weeks after your home visit has been completed. 5. Once your application has been approved, you will be placed on a waiting list until a potential adoptive dog is identified. Once a match is identified, an AGaG volunteer will contact you and arrange for your family to meet the dog. 6. Please be aware that approval of your application is not a guarantee that you will be allowed to adopt the dog of your choosing (or any dog). As Good as Gold strives to take the best interests of the dog into consideration when making placements. As Good as Gold reserves the right to refuse adoption to any applicant at any point in the application or adoption process, in its sole discretion. 7. Your adoption application will remain active for one year from the date of submission. We know that a lot can change within twelve months so we require you to reapply after one year if no successful placement is made within that time.
