Please attend one of our adoption events to meet these great animals in person. 

We do not let anyone visit our foster homes without an approved application first.

If you are interested in adopting, you can complete our adoption formhere.

It generally takes one to two weeks to fully process a submitted application.  The volunteer who will be processing your application will contact you by email.  Please email that volunteer at any time if you have questions or concerns.  If the animal you are hoping to adopt is adopted prior to completion of your application, you will be notified.  Please be patient during this process, as we are all volunteers.

You must be at least  21 years old to sign our contract.  Please do not allow children to submit an application.

We will not adopt animals outside our geographic area.

 Dogs adopted from Tails of Hope will be required to attend positive reinforcement, basic obedience class in the adopter's area.

 NO application will be considered for a dog where there are young children AND no fencing. We will consider homes with adults and no fencing, depending on the dog.

 Small dogs are not typically good with young children and are considered on an individual basis.

 NO puppies or small dogs will be placed in homes with toddlers.

If you adopt a cat or dog elsewhere, please let us know as soon as possible.
