If you own your home, we will verify this information with your town’s assessment.

If you rent, we must get permission from whoever owns the property.

If you are looking to adopt a dog and already have animals at home, we must speak with your vet to verify your animals are up to date with current vaccinations and spayed or neutered. We will also ask if your animals are seen for routine check ups.

Bring along any family members that live at your home, including other pets and children, for an introduction to your new canine companion.
