We offer post adoption support & want to make sure you and your new dog are doing well together, so after you take your new best friend home, we will contact you to see how your new dog is settling into your home. We encourage a trial period of 2 weeks to make sure there is a good fit for everybody but also giving the dog a chance to settle in to the new family and environment (Trial periods are not possible if there is a long transport involved).

Our ​SENIORS FOR SENIORS adoption program was developed to help senior people rediscover the joys of having a companion dog in their lives, and the program places senior dogs with senior people. We will help you select a companion dog who fits into your lifestyle and housing situation. The reduced adoption fee for people 65 and over is $100.

If you become unable to take care of your dog, due to long-term hospitalization or stay in a nursing facility, you or your family may return the dog to the Silver Dog Rescue.
