The Adoption Process is simple:

  • See our adoptable puppies below! If the puppy is listed, it is still available!
  • Fill out an Adoption Application for approval. You can not adopt -or- meet a puppy without this step
  • One of our adoption coordinators will send you an approval if you have been approved for the puppy you applied for!
  • Once approved, you set up a meeting for the adoption day listed on your puppy's profile.
  • You meet, you fall in love with your new furry family member and you take them home that day.
The first step in the adoption process with BnK rescue is filling out an application, which can be found HERE
You must be 21 years old to adopt. Please realize that all of our puppies are considered urgent, and we never hold dogs. We ask all adopters to be prepared to take their new family member home when a match is made!! There are many waiting to be saved, and once an appropriate home is found, a Boot n' Kit puppy is adopted out. Do not schedule a visit if you are not ready to adopt the puppy then. Adopting a dog is the most rewarding and wonderful thing, but it is a lifelong commitment. Please be sure you are ready for the responsibility. 
We reserve the right to refuse any adoption. Thank you for choosing to rescue and save a life! ​
