ELECTRONIC APPLICATION

** IMPORTANT PLEASE READ**

Electronic Application


At Dessin, we take each adoption seriously. We make every effort to ensure that the match between the animal and your family is one that will bring happiness to everyone involved.   


  • Spay and Neuter: No pet leaves our shelter without being spayed or neutered -- even kittens and puppies as young as 8 weeks old.  By spaying and neutering our adoptees, we are making ourselves  a part of the solution to the pet overpopulation problem.  
  • Ten Point Behavioral Assessment: A formal, ten point behavioral assessment is conducted on each dog. It helps to identify aggression or behavior problems, as well as to learn about the dog's personality. This will help us determine what the best type of home would be for each particular dog/puppy, in order to create a successful match. 
  • ​Health Care Program:  All animals surrendered to our shelter are started  on a vaccination, flea, mite and deworming program.  Cats and kittens are tested for Feline Leukemia.  Dogs are tested for Heartworm. All animals receive a Rabies vaccination.
  •  Microchips: Our pets also go out the door microchipped (registration is included in the adoption fee.)

Our adoption fees include those services which ensure the health and safety of your new pet.
