Adoption / Foster / Volunteer Application

Please complete this application with as much detail as possible. There are many questions -- and some may seem quite personal in nature -- but we take our responsibility of matching each Leonberger with the right home most seriously. We do not believe that adoptive homes or rescue dogs are one-size-fits-all.  Please take the extra time and care, now, to fill out this application so that we can make sure the right dog spends a lifetime with you.  

After we receive your application, an Adoption Coordinator will review it and contact you if there are any questions or concerns or simply contact you to confirm receipt of your application. Please be patient, as it may take as long as three days for us to contact you. You can anticipate that we will also contact your Veterinarian, your personal references and arrange for a home evaluation. If you do not receive a call or email regarding your application, please email us at info@lrpals.org

Please Note: When your adoption is approved you will be required to sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee as well as any costs to transport. The adoption fee will need to be paid in the form of a cashier's check or money order.. The cost to transport is the responsibility of the adopter.
