Dog Application

Snooty Giggles Dog Adoption Application

  

 

 

 

 

 

An application does not mean you are required to adopt – it just lets us know you are seriously considering a dog for adoption.       

**Due to the high volume of applications received we are no longer accepting applications for any of the Scotties, at this time, all the puppies and adults are spoken for. We appreciate all the interest and concern for finding them forever homes..***

 

We recognize that you may find this application long but we want to ensure that your match is an ideal match. 

*Please note All dogs in the adoptive household must be UTD on all vaccines and spay/neutered. We take Heartworm Prevention (HWP) seriously due to the high-risk possibility in the Southeast.  If your current dogs are not using a prescription HWP from your Vet year-round, your application will be rejected.  We will verify with your vet and need copies of proof of sales receipts that such prevention is being used.  Thank you for your understanding.

*Adopters must be 25yrs old, or have a parent co-sign for adoption.

 

If your application fails to submit, please go back over the application and fields marked with RED will indicate missing fields that must be completed before the application will submit. We understand not all fields may apply to you and your situation, if the question does not apply to you or your situation please use N/A to complete the fields.
