BRAG Adoption Application

We are thrilled you are looking to adopt a canine companion from us. Adopting a homeless animal can be so rewarding. By giving an animal a loving home, you not only free up a slot for a new animal in shelters and rescues, but create the opportunity to enrich both your life and your new pet’s.

We request that you read this information BEFORE completing this Adoption Application.

The first step in adopting an animal is to complete the online Adoption Application. Completing the Adoption Application does not guarantee that you will be allowed to adopt from BRAG. It does not guarantee (should you be approved to adopt) that you will be able to adopt a specific animal. If at the end of the approval process, you are approved to adopt from BRAG, you may then contact the fosters to find out more about the dog and/or to set up a meet. We want to ensure to match the dog with the best fitted home for their needs.

Our adoption fee is $350 (plus tax for MN residents).

All members of your house must speak with us, over the phone, Skype, or Facetime before your application will be approved.

Unless you plan to be the sole guardian, the co-applicant’s contact information and past pet experience must be listed on this application. All other questions must be answered jointly.

BarkinQ Rescue Across the Globe reserves the right to refuse placement of any animal for any reason.

If you have further questions about the adoption process or our dogs, please check out our page How BRAG works.
