Adoption Application

By completing this form, you will assist us in establishing that you and your family are ready for the responsibilities of pet ownership.  No animal will be adopted to prospective owners who mislead or fail to provide accurate information on the adoption application and/or the adoption contract.  Short Mugs reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone. Please be as detailed as possible.

Please note: a $10 Non-Refundable Application Fee is required. This helps SMRS with some of our cost to care for our foster dogs. Please be aware that by applying and paying the fee you are not guaranteed to be approved for adopting a dog.  

You will be directed to paypal after you submit your application to pay this fee.  If you choose not to pay the fee we will not process your application.
 
If you experience any problems completing the application or paying the fee please contact SMRS at  info@shortmugsrescuesquad.org. Thank you.

We do not usually adopt to out of state applicants. The reason for this is if there is a need to return the dog for any reason we do not have any volunteers in the area to take them back in. We will consider out of state applicants on a case by case basis in the states of OK and LA only. We are not able to adopt to other states.

You must be at least 21 years of age to apply. 

  • WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS.
  • APPLICATIONS FROM OUT-OF-STATE (OK and LA) WILL BE CONSIDERED.
  • ALL ADOPTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO A HOME VISIT.
  • WE REQUIRE THE DOG TO BE PICKED UP IN PERSON IN THE CITY/STATE SPECIFIED ABOVE.
  • IF A DOG IS LISTED ON “OUR AVAILABLE DOGS” PAGE AND IT IS POSSIBLE TO SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION, THEN THAT DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION.
  • FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FOSTER HOMES, WE DO NOT ALLOW MEET AND GREETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION.
  • PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT SOME REGRESSION IN BEHAVIOR AND POTTY HABITS IS TO BE EXPECTED WHILE A DOG IS ADJUSTING TO A NEW HOME.
