ADOPTION APPLICATION

ONLINE ADOPTION APPLICATION

**Please read everything below prior to completing an application**

Applications must be submitted on desktop, laptop or tablet. Some that are completed on a smart phone often do not submit.

Interested in adopting from Dogworks? Please complete either the online adoption application below, or download a printable version through the link above and submit it by mail, email, or in person at an adoption event. An application is NOT binding; you can change your mind about adoption at any time.

We are located in the Toledo, Ohio and we adopt within a 1 hour radius.
Dogworks is a volunteer organization. All Dogworks adoptions require a home visit and Dogworks fosters commit to driving up to a 1 hour radius of Downtown Toledo. Some fosters are willing to spend their time and gas to drive further than others, so please complete an application if you desire. Just know in advance that if you are an hour from Downtown Toledo, Dogworks will not require a foster to drive to your house and your application may be denied by the foster solely because of your travel distance.

We do not have a shelter or facility. All of our dogs are kept in foster homes. If you are interested in meeting one of our dogs, you must first submit a completed application.

Please contact your veterinary office and give them permission for us to do a vet reference. Some offices will not do a reference without this and it is often a cause of delay in processing applications.

If you do not hear back from us within 4 days, please CONTACT US so we can confirm your application status.

This application works best on a desktop or laptop using CHROME.
Please fill it out in it's entirety to be considered to adopt.
You must be 21 years or older to apply to adopt.
