Thank you for your interest in adopting and saving a life! 

Please check out our list of available dogs and turn in an adoption application if you see someone who looks like a good fit.  The application does not obligate you to adopt but allows us to get a better understanding for what you’re looking for in a dog.  We love playing matchmaker and we strive for a great fit for both the TSDP dog as well as your family.  We are all volunteers and we value your time so the first step is screening the application which includes performing a vet reference check regarding your current pets.  If the application is approved, the next step is setting up a time to meet the dog. 

We adopt in the Dallas area as part of our process also includes a home visit where we do a safety review.

If the decision is made to proceed with a home trial, we will collect the adoption fee and signed adoption contract.  The trial is for two-weeks and provides a chance to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone involved.  This is especially nice if there are other pets involved as sometimes we find that the resident pets aren’t keen on a new addition.  However if at the end of the trial, the dog is a “keeper” then the adoption will be finalized and TSDP will cash the check. 
After the adoption is finalized; if something happens weeks, months, or years down the road and you’re unable to keep your TSDP dog then we require the dog be returned to us as we don’t want to see them fall into the wrong hands or be euthanized at a shelter however there will not be a refund.

The adoption fee is $250 for puppies and $225 for dogs over one year old and covers vaccinations, de-wormer, microchip, spay/neuter and all dogs of age are tested for heartworm and treated if positive; and all dogs are on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.
