Adopting
How to Adopt
The procedure for adopting a dog is as follows:
1. Fill out an online adoption application.
2.
If you have never owned an OES, or if you'd like another introduction
to grooming, care and breed traits we invite you and all of your family
members to explore the characteristics and idiosyncrasies of this
breed. Now is the appropriate time to discuss your expectations with an
OES Rescue Network volunteer - i.e. size, energy level, sex, age, and
so on.
3. Once you have completed that
stage, you are ready to discuss meeting a specific rescue dog. There is
sometimes a wait for the "right" dog to become available for your
situation. You will not be pressured into taking a dog if there is any
doubt that this is not the right dog for you. Deciding an available dog
is not the right one for your particular family will not cause you to
lose your place in line for another appropriate dog.

Once you have met a rescue dog you would like to adopt, you will need
to sign our adoption contract, provide a minimum donation, and you and
your family members will embark on a wonderful new chapter for all of
you!!
