Adopting

Our MISSION STATEMENT:

Belly Up for Adoptions is organized and operated exclusively for the charitable, educational and benevolent purpose to care for, train and heal homeless dogs while we search for permanent homes for them.

Adding a dog to your family is an exciting, life changing experience for you and your new dog. We want to help you make sure that your decision to adopt is right for you and for the dog. Please make an appointment to meet our foster dogs and speak to us about what you are expecting when the dog joins your family. We will be asking you a number of questions to help you make a good decision. You will need to fill out an adoption form. We might ask to visit your home and meet your family.

Before you adopt make sure that everyone in your family is on board with this decision. It would be best for all family members to meet the dog before you make a final decision. Sometimes it is a surprise when a child comes into your life. We don’t want anybody in your family to be surprised by your new dog.

We will work with you and your family to help make the transition as smooth as possible for your family and your new dog. Belly Up for Adoptions will continue this support for the rest of the dog’s life.

Belly Up for Adoptions is committed to finding good homes for great dogs. We’ve worked hard to prepare our foster dogs for the move to their forever home. Please make an appointment to meet our foster dogs. They will be excited to greet you!
