Small Dog Rescue by Sparticus Adoption Application
It is our goal to place each and every dog into the best home for his/her individual needs and with a human family that best suits his/her disposition. We do not believe in ‘first come, first served’ so please take your time to read through and answer each question completely. Since this is our first impression of you, it is important that your answers are clear and thorough. Sparticus’ Legacy is run by volunteers (who all also work full-time jobs) so your patience is appreciated. References will be checked so please understand it may take a few days for a representative to get back to you after you submit your application. We will get back to you whether your application is approved or declined.
Applications that are not complete or that contain phony references will be discarded.
