Adoption Process: How to Adopt a Dog

Adopting a Dog from Big Dog Ranch Rescue is a simple process, below are the steps towards adopting your new Dog:

​

1.

  Submit our online Application Form and one of our volunteers will contact you within 48 hours of your submission. If you do not hear from one of our volunteers within that time PLEASE call 561-309-3311.

2.

  A vet reference is done by one of our volunteers.

3.

  A home visit is performed by one of our volunteers.

4.

  The staff goes over your application and we work to find which dog will best fit your family.

5.

  An appointment is set for you to come and visit with the Dogs that are best suited for you and your family, you will usually have a few to pick from that will best be suited for your family. If you currently have a dog, it is best that you bring your dog to meet its potential playmate.

6.

  If the our Dog is ready for adoption (all vet care is completed and you and your family are ready for the Dog) then the Dog can go home with your family that day. If the Dog chosen that is fit for you and/or your family is not ready to be adopted, a hold will be placed on the Weimaraner until he or she is ready to be released.

7.

  Adoption fees range from $150 to $400\*, depending on the age of the Dog. All Dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, and micro chipped. We try and send each Dog home with One month’s supply of Heartgard Plus, One month’s supply of Frontline Plus, and a sample of Kirkland's Lamb and Rice Dog Food, all depending on the supplies we have on hand.
