Pre-Adoption Application

Thank you for inquiring about adopting a dog. This form is generally used by Thunderhawk Canine, but we occasionally allow clients or friends to use it when placing a dog. This is strictly an information gathering tool, and in no way effects liability associated with adopting any dog.

We strive to make the best matches possible, so as much detail as you can give us on this form is appreciated. Each adoption fee is individual to the pet. Also please understand, this is only step one. Upon review, we will be in contact to set up a home visit, meet and greets, etc. Obviously, don't hesitate if you have any questions.
