Please do not submit this application if you are “trying to talk someone into” adopting this dog or think “once they meet the dog, they will want one” or “I’m getting this dog as a surprise birthday present for them.” In those scenarios, you are welcome to email us to discuss the dog, but we would like all adults in the home to be involved in that email discussion.
