Second Chance Salem Dog Rescue and Adoptions
Please complete your application fully and in as much detail as possible. This application is the first step in our adoption process. We will then screen your application through a vet reference check, phone interview, reference checks and a home visit. An adoption donation is required, which covers the cost of spay/neuter, microchipping, vaccines and preventatives per the dog's age, health check, fecal / deworming as needed. It is our goal to place all rescued dogs into loving, conscientious forever homes, keeping in mind the dogs’ individual needs and matching each dog’s personality to that of the home in which they are placed.
PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION WILL RESULT IN THE FORFEITURE OF ADOPTION FEES AND ANY ANIMALS ADOPTED.
