HOW TO APPLY TO ADOPT

If you are interested in adopting, please understand that clicking Im Interested or submitting an inquiry through Petfinder is not an adoption application.

To be considered:

Submit an adoption application through our website
Our volunteer team reviews all applications carefully
Dogs are matched based on best fit, not first-come, first-served

Because we are a volunteer-run nonprofit rescue, application review can take up to 10 days, and sometimes longer depending on volume.

If you do not hear from us after that time, it means we have chosen not to move forward with your application.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT OUR FOSTER-BASED RESCUE

We are a foster-based nonprofit dog rescue located in Kentucky. Our dogs live in foster homes rather than in a public shelter setting, which helps us better understand their personalities, routines, and needs before adoption.

This allows us to make thoughtful placement decisions that support long-term success for both the dog and adopter.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSPORT INFORMATION

Although our dogs are fostered in Kentucky, we also offer transport for approved adopters in select locations.

Current transport locations:

Greenwood, Indiana
Wilmington, Ohio
Washington, Pennsylvania
Bordentown, New Jersey

Transport is available only after:

Application approval
Deposit payment
Signed transport agreement

A transport label means the dog may travel through our scheduled transport program once these steps are completed.

Unless specifically stated in the dogs bio, assume potty training is still in progress.

Thank you for considering adoption through Da Vincis Dream. Every adoption helps us continue rescuing dogs in need and placing them in loving homes.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments.
