NOTE: Due to recent flight/travel restrictions resulting from Covid-19, it will take longer for your adopted dogs to get to you. Please only submit an application if you are able to wait until a flight volunteer can be secured. Please note we currently do not have a definitive timeline. An alternative, quicker option of flying via cargo can be made available, although at a greater financial cost.

Who will care for your dog when you are away?*What is your experience with crate training? Do you intend on crate training? (Please check all that apply)* I believe crate training is a great tool for house/potty training, staying home alone, sleeping, and situations where dogs cannot be supervised. I believe crate training can be a valuable training tool for behaviors like anxiety, separation anxiety, hyperactivity, etc so the dog has a place to settle down. I prefer to keep my dogs contained in a specific room, or in a playpen. I don't believe in crate training. I prefer my dogs to have free roam of the home. I don't know much about the advantages/disadvantages of crate training. I feel it would depend on the dog. What is your experience with having your dog off leash? Do you intend to train your dog to be off leash?* I believe it is important for dogs to have the freedom to be off leash. I believe with proper recall training, off leash is appropriate. I do not allow my dog(s) off leash unless in a fenced in area (ie: dog park). I think it would depend on the dog's personality.
