Application:
Adoption Application

Please see instructions on the Before you start page prior to completing the application. Then download the application, complete and add a separate sheet with any information you wish to tell us. It helps us if you print neatly or type your application.

The application is available for download as a PDF file and a Word document:

• Adoption Application (PDF)
  NOTE: To view a PDF file, you will need the Acrobat Reader.
  
  
• Adoption Application (MS Word document)

Please Note: You must fill out ALL questions completely in order to have your application processed in a timely manner. We are volunteers and when we have to call you to complete your questionnaire, your application is delayed considerably in processing. This especially applies to the FENCING QUESTIONS! We require a fenced enclosure and need to know the details of your fenced area. Please read our page on Fence Requirements for specifics.

Fees and Agreements
Due to the effort required to process adoption applications for a Golden Bond Rescue dog, a $25.00 non-refundable fee is required with each application. When you have met the dog you wish to adopt, and all five steps of the adoption process have been completed and approved, the adoption fee is due.

Our adoption fees for applications received ON or AFTER January 1, 2008:

• Under 1 year of age: $400.00
• 1 to 3 years of age: $300.00
• 4 to 8 years of age: $250.00
• 9 years and older and special needs: $100.00
• Pairs: $100 off the full cost of the two dogs if the total is over $200.00

If you adopt from Golden Bond Rescue, we require that you sign an adoption agreement. The adoption agreement is in two parts. The first part is a liability waiver — we cannot guarantee anything. The second part is our "terms of adoption".

The required postage for mailing an application is approximately $1.00-$1.15. Please be sure you have the correct postage. The post office will return envelopes requiring additional postage, holding up your application. We do not accept applications sent by email or fax.
