Online Adoption Application

 If you are interested in adopting one of our dogs, you may submit an application either electronically or via fax.  To submit your application electronically, please scroll down to the application below and complete each of the fields.  Your application will not be accepted if you do not complete the required fields.

If you choose to send a fax, please download the Adoption Application here in PDF format; fill it out and sign it, and then fax it to us at 714-773-9430. 

Prior to any dog going home, we require a home visit to ensure that your environment is safe and secure.  Once your home has been approved, the adoption can move forward.  An adoption donation (minimum of $300 for adult dogs and $400 for puppies 1 year and under) is required before the dog comes to live in your family. For more information, please contact us at adoption@gsroc.org

We look forward to working with you to help you find a great new family member!

Our minimum Adoption Donation is $300 for adult dogs and $400 for puppies 1 year and under.  This donation (tax deductible as allowed by law) helps to offset the costs that we have incurred for the dog’s care and housing during his or her stay with our group. The minimum adoption donation does not entirely cover the investments that we have made in the dogs so if you are in a position to give more, we would be honored to receive your additional donation. All adoption donations go directly toward the needs of our dogs.  

All dogs adopted through GSROC are spayed or neutered, current on their vaccines and de-wormed.  Because the minimum Adoption Donation rarely covers the costs associated with each dog, we ask that adopters who are in a position to give additional funds do so at their discretion.  We also ask our adopters to help us spread the word about the important work that we do.
