PLEASE READ: At Ruby’s Rescue & Retreat, NFP, we get many applications for each dog. We look over all applications for each dog and we choose the BEST FIT FOR THE DOG. We do not go by first come, first served. If you are not chosen for a particular dog, it does not mean you were denied or turned down. It simply means that for this particular dog, we found a better match. Please understand that due to the number of applications received, we cannot respond to every application. If your application is chosen for a particular dog, we will contact you via email to schedule a time for you to come and meet the dog. Submitting the application does not obligate you to adopt the dog should you meet him/her and decide they are not a good fit for your home. Only applications that are completed in full will be considered.
