 Information on How to Adopt a GRREAT Dog

NOTE:  Please remember that Adoption Days are HIGH STRESS events for all parties concerned---dogs, foster homes, and applicants.   Not everyone will find the right dog at the event.  Everyone's patience and understanding are appreciated.  Also, be sure and submit your adoption application at least three weeks prior to the event.  We cannot approve applications on the spot.
