Double Dog Rescue has over 40 volunteers. The only person who can answer any questions about the dog you are interested is the email linked to the dogs bio on petfinder. Clicking on the email button on the dogs petfinder page will direct you to the appropriate volunteer who can answer your questions and then forward you an application. After you fill out your application and forward it to your DDR representative, please contact your veterinarian to give us permission to do a vet reference check (if applicable).
Once your application has been approved, we will set up a call to discuss details. This is also a good time for you to ask questions. If you forget to ask a question, you can email your volunteer or go to the FAQ section of our site.

How much is the adoption fee?
The adoption fee per dog is $425-$475 (Seniors who are 8+ years old and/or a special needs dog are considerably less – please ask your volunteer). This fee covers vetting and boarding costs. The vetting includes: All vaccinations – Rabies, DHLPP, Bordetella, Spay/Neuter, Heartworm test, Fecal exam, and Deworming. Please note: If a dog tests Heartworm Positive and/or has additional ailments or illnesses, we treat the dog whatever the cost. You will receive your dogs vet records from the transporter at the designated pick-up location.
The transportation company charges $150-$185. The companies are not affiliated with DDR. The transportation companies need to pay for gas, food, and make a profit themselves. They genuinely do this for the dogs. Your volunteer will let you know who to make the check out to prior to picking up your dog. Visit the Transportation section on our website to learn more about the reputable companies we use to transport dog up north.
Adopt a senior!
It’s truly a selfless act to adopt a senior dog. Most people want a puppy or a young pup to grow up in their household. It’s sad that so many senior dogs are surrendered to the shelter and live out the rest of their years in a cold cell. Seniors make the best companions. They have no expectations and only want food, water, love and a comfortable place to call home. Some seniors enjoy playing ball still. Granted they don’t run as fast but they still have heart. You can see in their eyes how grateful they are to be rescued. Open your heart to these little heartbeats, after all, seniors need a home too!
