DDEAF Adoption Form

Adding a Dog Profile

Please fill the form out completely (items marked with an * are required, and cannot be left blank).

Typing in all capital letters makes the form difficult to read and does not appear well on the listing. Please make sure your shift key is unlocked.

To make the form quicker to fill out, some of the more common answers are already checked - be sure to change them if appropriate for your dog.

The form has places for anything that you want to tell people about the dog. To save yourself from typing the same thing multiple times, please be sure you are answering only what the question asks for.

If you are listing more than one dog, please fill out a form for each.

Because dogs with pictures seem to find homes faster, we would like one or more photos if at all possible. Please send these as quickly as you can. (Instructions for sending photos are included in the follow-up page after you complete the form and in the e-mail confirmation you will receive.) Please include the dog's name with the picture, so we can match it to the correct profile.

If you are worried about having your e-mail address posted on a webpage, or are using AOL, you might consider opening a temporary account with one of the free e-mail services (such as Yahoo or Hotmail). Occasionally, AOL does not deliver e-mails sent from non-AOL accounts, so you may not get some of the inquiries about your dog, or questions from us. You also might consider a special e-mail for this listing if your regular account blocks messages from people you don't know. Make it easy for people to contact you!

There is a space near the end for any additional comments.

We do not list dogs as "free to a good home." All dogs must have an adoption fee of at least $50.00US (more is acceptable and often appropriate). Please visit this website www.parrett.net/animalaid/free.html for a few of the reasons (the page will open in a new window, so you won't lose what you have already entered in this form if you go look).

If you would you like this fee to be donated to a charity, please give the name here (optional, not needed for shelters or rescue groups):

Contact Info

(this is where the e-mail confirmation will be sent)

(optional, if you would like to list a phone number, shelter address, or additional contacts)

Web page:

(Either for your rescue or one featuring this dog.) If this is a Petfinder site (link will open in a new window), please take a couple of minutes to find the exact url (for example - www.petfinder.org/shelters/ST909.html ). Doing this will help us to get your dog posted that much quicker! (There are hundreds of rescues/shelters, and thousands of dogs on Petfinder, and it sometimes takes us quite some time to find the correct link.)

For Rescue Groups or Shelters only:

Would you like to be listed on our Deaf Dog Friendly Rescue Pages? (This is not a requirement to have a dog's profile added to our adoption pages, and you may be contacted for additional info.)
Yes No

Descriptions

*How would you describe this dog's temperament?

What is his or her personality like? What games does he or she like? What's his or her favorite toy? Favorite treat? What signs does the dog already know? A paragraph is better than a sentence. This part should tell everyone how wonderful this dog is and why he or she would be great in their home!

*Physical description of the dog:

(color, markings, cropped ears? bobbed tail? blue eyes? anything interesting about the dog's appearance?). Since a picture doesn't always do justice for the dog, please try to be as descriptive as possible.

Other Information:

(any other information that you think is important, or elaborate on any of your answers above). If you have pictures of this dog posted on-line (and would like us to choose from those), please give us the link to them here (if the pictures stored on your computer are better though, please e-mail those instead).

Please double check, to be sure that you have answered all the questions with a * in front of them (the form will not go through if any are missed).


(Sometimes this takes a moment or two, please be patient!)
