Ellie's Canine Rescue & Rehome: Dog Pre-Adoption Application

Adoption Fee $300 adults and $350 pups (covers desexing, vaccinations, microchip, flea and worm treatments, and vet bills).

***PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING***

Unless the dog is small or a non jumper full fencing must be a minimum of 5 feet and you must own your own property.

Sumitting this application does not mean you are commiting to a dog, nor does it guarantee you will get that dog. It is simply a tool we use to help both you and us identify a good potential match for your family and lifestyle.

All Ellie's Canine Rescue & Rehome dogs are indoor dogs, this means they must be part of your family and sleep inside at night. They must never be chained up.

A successful adoption depends on selecting the right dog for your home and family. Please help us with this process by answering the following questions fully & completely and HONESTLY.
