Adoption Application

Thank you for wanting to give a rescue dog a home. Bentley's Playhouse is a volunteer-run rescue. Our dogs live with foster families and get the vet care they need before they're adopted. These questions help us make sure the dog you love is a good fit for your home, and everyone adopting needs to fill them out.

We may decline an adoption based on your answers or our conversations with you. Your answers are saved in this browser as you go, so you can come back and finish later.
