Please fill out this application fully. This application is to help us determine if the adoption is in the animal’s best interest, and to assist the potential adopter in finding a Dane compatible with their lifestyle. Understand that my application can be denied without a reason given. We hope you will agree that the animal’s welfare be our prime
concern.

In order to be considered for an adoption you must:

Be at least 18 years of age.
Have the knowledge and consent of all adults in your home.
Have landlord consent if applicable.
Although we would prefer to adopt to families with children over 8, we will still accept applications from families with younger children. If you have children under 8 the application approval process will be more in depth.
Pay the non refundable $25 application fee
Pass a criminal background check (we are looking for animal cruelty/neglect charges).
Have two positive personal references
Need to have a positive reference from current veterinarian.
Home visit must be completed.

All completed Adoption Applications, and Home Visit Evaluations are confidential property of UMGDR. These completed forms are shown to volunteers on an as needed basis.
