Steps to Adopt an HDF dog
The very first step in your adoption process is to fill out the adoption
application. If you are interested in a specific dog, please notate this
on the application. The adoption application is available in
PDF
format and
WORD
format or you can fill it out online and submit it by clicking
here
or on the link above. For PDF and
Word applications, please print the
completed form out and mail it to the address below or email it to
adoptions@hawaiidogfoundation.org. If you don't know which dog is
right for your family, feel free to come to one of our Meet & Greets at
the Mililani Dog Park (please see
Events
Calendar for dates). We encourage you to bring your own dogs, if
any, to the Meet & Greet so that you can see how they get along with the
HDF dog.
Once
your application has been received, the adoption coordinator/review
committee will go over your application and respond via email or phone
within 5-10 days. If your application is approved the adoption
coordinator will set up a home visit and trial doggy sleep over at your
house. Depending on the outcome of the home visit, we will approve the
sleep over. The house visit is to ensure that it is a safe environment
for your potential pet. You will be notified at this home visit whether
or not we feel it is a safe environment.
At the
end of the doggy sleep over, we can discuss your options. If you choose
to go ahead with the adoption we will schedule any/all necessary medical
appointments for the doggy to get his/her medical needs taken care of.
Once these appointments are complete, we will call you to set up a date
for you to come and sign the adoption agreement and pay the donation
($150.00 adult dogs - $200.00 puppies). Once this is complete you may
take your new pet home and begin your wonderful lives together.Hawaii Dog Foundation
