Adoption Application
Please read the information below and answer all questions on the application with as much detail as possible.
At Notorious D.O.G. Dog Rescue, we are well known in the community for taking on the hard cases of abuse, neglect, and abandonment. Many of the dogs we take in have experienced a past that is unfair and cruel.
A general rule of thumb for a rescue dog to decompress:
- It takes 3 days for initial decompression to occur.
- It takes 3 weeks to learn routines and schedules.
- It takes 3 months to begin to trust and feel more at home.
In many cases, based on the previous trauma history of the dog, this process could take longer. Some of these dogs have experienced the worst humankind has to offer and may not have had a positive interaction with a human until entering the rescue. Because of these past experiences, the dogs will require lots of patience and love when it comes to potty training, overcoming fears, and learning to domesticate.
If this level of commitment feels to be more than you can handle, please let staff know. We understand that not everyone is equipped to handle this level of commitment and that is okay. At our rescue, we strive to make sure each adoption is the best situation for everyone involved, humans and dogs alike.
