Adoption Application Form

Moving Paws Inc requires an application form to be completed if you are interested in adopting a doggy. The application is then passed onto the doggies foster family for consideration.

If you are short listed for the particular doggy you applied for, you will be contacted by a team member/foster carer of Moving Paws Inc to arrange a meet a greet within one week of receiving the application.

If the first meet and greet is successful and both parties wish to proceed a home visit is then conducted. We allow both parties an additional 24 hours to make sure they are fully committed to adopting another family member.

We unfortunately as volunteers do not have time to contact every application, but as above we will contact those that are shortlisted.

Moving Paws wants the experience of adopting a new family member to be a good one and we will occasionally suggest a different doggy as your situation may not meet the needs of the individual dog you have applied for.

There is a 4 week return policy, during this period our team will be in touch several times to make sure the transition period is going well and answer any questions you may have.

Moving Paws Inc only adopts to Adelaide metropolitan, hills area and fleurieu areas.

Please email movingpaws@live.com.au
for an application form if unable to access the online form below.

PLEASE ONLY COMPLETE AN APPLICATION FORM FOR A DOG CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION OR IN OUR CARE.
