ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE

Thank you for your interest in our rescue program and for considering adopting one of our GSPs! We created the following questionnaire to assist in finding the appropriate dog for you.   We ask for your understanding in that we are by no means questioning your integrity. It is our sole intent to ensure your satisfaction, and our dogs' welfare. This questionnaire is the first step in our Adoption Process.  Please review the entire Adoption Process so you will be aware of the various steps involved in adopting a rescue GSP.  We appreciate your time and will contact you shortly.

Please note that this questionnaire is for those residing in Northern or Central California or the Reno, Nevada area ONLY.
