  3. Home visit: JOAN DALTON, Director, or ADAM BERGIN, Kennel Supervisor, will schedule a home visit to be sure that you can provide an appropriate environment for a dog.

  4. Trial visit: You and the dog you want will have an overnight or weekend visit to "see how it goes." (Like having a date, before you agree to go steady.)

  5. Fee: There is an adoption fee of $195, a very good value since your dog comes to you with all shots, neutered/spayed, micro- chipped, and with basic obedience training.

    To hold a dog, Project POOCH must receive a $50 deposit that will be applied toward the adoption fee. $25 of the amount is a non-refundable home visit fee and is charged to cover the cost of transportation. If the dog is adopted, the $25 will be credited toward the $195 adoption fee. If there is a home visit and the dog is not adopted, $25 of the deposit will be refunded.
