Smoky Mountains Bulldog Rescue
ADOPTION APPLICATION

Thank you for your interest in adopting a rescue English Bulldog. The dogs available for adoption are screened for temperament and health. All dogs have been given their vaccinations, started on heartworm and flea preventative and have been spayed or neutered. Although, we cannot guarantee that there are no problems with the dogs in rescue, we have done our very best to assure that each dog adoption is a good candidate for a new family. We want our dogs and our adoption families to be happy with the placement.

The following application is very important to helping us make the perfect match between dog and new "parent". We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to turn down an application. By submitting application, you give us permission to contact references, to visit your home for screening purposes before you accept the dog, to visit your home for a followup after adoption and to share our finding with other rescue people or groups. 

FEE.  There will also be an Adoption Fee (usually it is $300.00) required that only partially covers the medical and other costs involved in rescue.

Please fill out this application completely, and then click on the Submit button at the bottom of the form.
