Steps to Adopt an HDF dog
The very first step in your adoption process is to fill out the adoption
application. If you are interested in a specific dog, please notate this
on the application. Unfortunately we are unable to accept applications
from persons 21 years of age or younger. The adoption application is
available in
PDF format and
Word format or you can
fill it out online and submit it by clicking
here or on the link
above. For
PDF and
Word applications, please print the completed form out and mail it
to the address below or email it to
adoptions@hawaiidogfoundation.org.
If you don't know which dog is right for your family, feel free to come
to one of our Meet & Greets at the Mililani Dog Park (please see
Events Calendar for
dates). We encourage you to bring your own dogs, if any, to the Meet &
Greet so that you can see how they get along with the HDF dog.
Once
your application has been received, the adoption coordinator/review
committee will go over your application and respond via email or phone
within 5-10 days. If your application is approved the adoption
coordinator will set up a home visit and trial doggy sleep over at your
house. Depending on the outcome of the home visit, we will approve the
sleep over. The house visit is to ensure that it is a safe environment
for your potential pet. You will be notified at this home visit whether
or not we feel it is a safe environment.
At the
end of the doggy sleep over, we can discuss your options. If you choose
to go ahead with the adoption we will schedule any/all necessary medical
appointments for the doggy to get his/her medical needs taken care of.
Once these appointments are complete, we will call you to set up a date
for you to come and sign the adoption agreement and pay the donation
($150.00 adult dogs - $200.00 puppies - Note: HDF
requires a $300.00 deposit when adopting any unaltered puppies, aged 12
weeks or less. The deposit will be returned, in full, when the adopted
puppies are spayed or neutered.). Once this is complete you may
take your new pet home and begin your wonderful lives together.Hawaii Dog Foundation
