Adoption Application

Due to the number of volunteer hours required to review, correspond, and verify each application we receive, we ask that you consider a $10 minimum application donation. This fee also helps us cover the cost we incur for having our entire process available electronically. This donation can be made with the application buttons below. Once you have made your donation, please make sure to wait on the PayPal page to be redirected to the adoption application form!
For each application we receive, we have a volunteer review the application, a volunteer who sets aside 30 minutes of time to complete a virtual home visit tour, a volunteer calls the veterinary listed on the application to confirm present and past animals were cared for, and if the applicant rents, a volunteer calls the listed landlords to confirm the applicant can have a pet in their rental home. If the applicant owns their home, then a volunteer completes a public record search to confirm home ownership by the applicant.

If you believe in our mission and would like to make a small donation for us to process your application please click the "dog application" or "cat application" button in the section below.

If you do not want to make a donation for our volunteers to process your application, please scroll to the bottom of this page and complete the form to receive a link to our application free of charge. A volunteer will respond to your email with a link to our application within 2 business days.

If it is determined the dog or cat you applied for is not the right match for your family, we do everything we can to help you and your family find the right match.

If you have ANY questions about adopting or finding out if you would be permitted to adopt, please feel free to email us at info@symbioticinc.org before you submit your adoption donation for the application

Once you submit your application, you will be directed to a link to book your virtual home visit, please do not skip this step!

Symbiotic Inc has a required minimum $360 adoption donation for dogs and $150 adoption donation for cats upon the completion of the adoption (it is tax deductible!)

All dog adoptions include a one hour virtual session with a professional trainer. Before the day of adoption, we will schedule a "go home" session for you and your family to spend an hour talking with a professional trainer from Lucky Dogs Training about tips and tricks for bringing home a new dog and answer any questions you may have! This session is at no additional charge www.LuckyDogstraining.net

All dogs and cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, heartworm/FeLV tested and on preventative, update to date with all vaccines and have all needed health care addressed before adoption is finalized.
