Dogs have varying personalities, just as people do, and they will often test their new owner to see just how much they can get away with.

Housebreaking, inappropriate chewing, digging, jumping and barking may be some of the undesirable behaviors you will encounter with your new companion. Not to worry! We will be available to help you overcome some of these challenges that may occur.

Thank you for your cooperation in filling out this application. It is our sincerest wish that any dog we rescue be placed in a loving home where it will be happy and well cared for. Please understand that filling out an application does not guarantee you will receive a dog. Our primary concern is to find the most appropriate home for each dog. In some cases, a yard check will need to be done by a representative of The Sam Simon Foundation prior to approving the application.

All decisions regarding an adoption application are within the sole discretion of The Sam Simon Foundation. In the event the dog is not being properly cared for, The Sam Simon Foundation, in their sole discretion, will have the right to remove the dog and place it in a new home. Some homes may be visited prior to approving an application for adoption.
