You will be contacted via email by a Red Barn Rescue volunteer adoption screener to acknowledge your application. They will conduct any required checks, including a vet check to ensure your pets are up to date on medical needs, a landlord check if you rent, and coordinate a home visit if needed. They may also contact you with questions or to further discuss your needs, preferences and lifestyle as you look for a new family member.

If approved to adopt the dog are interested in or pre-approved and matched with some animals from which to choose, the application screening volunteer will forward your application to our director who will contact you for a meet and greet. In the case of a dog who is in a foster home, the visit will need to be coordinated with the foster. All adoption decisions have final approval by Red Barn Rescue’s director.

At the time of adoption, the following adoption fees will be required, as well as a leash, ID tag, collar. Our adoption fee reflects what we invest to get dogs healthy and ready for adoption. Adopters are expected to cover future vet visits and keep pets up to date on heartworm/flea preventatives and vaccines. (We require that our rescue receives the dog back if you can no longer care for them.)
