How To Adopt

1

Complete the application 

  • Submit your adoption application and get a response within 24 hours.

  • Approved applications stay valid for 6 months.

2

Sign-up for the event!

  • Register for an adoption event (one signup per family).

  • Duplicate entries will be removed.

  • Walk-ins are welcome but added to the end of the list.

3

Come to the event

  • Meet your puppy and complete the adoption process onsite!

  • You'll sign the contract and take your new puppy home.

Important Details:

  • Reserving Puppies: You can reserve a specific puppy or register under general admission.

  • Eligibility: Only puppies that have attended multiple events are reservable; first-timers are General Admission.

    •  Reservations are good if you know that you want to adopt a specific puppy and don't want to meet with others. If there is a chance you may want to adopt or meet with different pups we encourage you to sign up for General Admission.​

    • General Admission sign ups are first come first served in the order you signed up online with approved application.

    • Walk-ins are free and added to the bottom of the list after the General Admission sign ups have been called.

    • *Signing up doesn't guarantee you a puppy, you still need to attend the event to meet the puppy and decide in person.

  • Sign-Up Donation: Helps cover medical care and future rescues.

    • ​Sign ups close 1 hour before the event starts. 

    • We count on knowing who has someone interested in them so we can plan for who may still need foster homes after the event.​

    • It is not required but it does tell us what pups have people interested in them.

  • Arrival: Doors open 5 minutes before the scheduled event time. Reserved meet-and-greets happen in the first 30 minutes of the event.

  • Late Arrival: If your name is called and you’re absent, you’ll be moved to the bottom of the list.

  • At the Event: Meet available puppies, ask questions, and finalize your adoption with paperwork and the adoption fee.

  • Preparation: Puppies are eating Science Diet Puppy Food, provided at adoption. You can find this food at Petco, Petsmart, Amazon, and Instacart.​

​

​​*Please note that Colorado Puppy Rescue reserves the right to refuse an adoption for any reason, even after approval. If you haven't completed the adoption application but signed up on the Sign up list, we won't be able to assist you at this time.*

 

**Before coming to the adoption event, it's important to watch the adoption video. You'll receive the link to the video in your approval email, and it can also be found on the redirect website after you sign up for the event.**

(NOTE: the video will answer the majority of your questions).
