Adoption Procedure & Application
Adoption Requirements
- Must be at least 21 years of age.
- Must have a valid photo ID.
- Must have landlord approval.
- Must have proof of vaccines for any other animals living at residence.
Adoption Process
- Fill out our Adoption Survey. If you have previously been approved to adopt with OTAT PDX, please fill out this update form to apply for a different dog. If you do not know your unique ID, please email ID@otatpdx.org.
- An Adoption Counselor (AC) will screen and review your application as soon as possible. The AC will then contact you and answer any questions you may have and hopefully set up an introduction to meet the dog.
- If all goes well at the introduction, the AC will finalize the adoption.
- Adoptions may take place immediately if the prospective dog gets along well with all members of the family.
- Our adoption fees are $450 for puppies 6 months and younger, $350 for adult dogs, and $250 for seniors over the age of 7 years. All fees cover wellness exam, spay/neuter, all age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchip.
- At the finalization you will receive your new companion’s medical records, a copy of our adoption contract, and information about our community partners and continuing discounts. It is also at the finalization that the dog’s adoption fee must be paid and all supplies returned to the rescue.
- After adopting an OTAT PDX dog, you will receive benefits and support for the lifetime of the dog!
