ADOPT a dog

Do you want to adopt a dog of A.C.E./SHIN?
Visit our 'dogs to adopt' at our database: dogs for adoption

Our volunteers will help you make the right choice!
Are you interested in one of our dogs? Please contact one of our volunteers (see below) for a telephone interview. If, after this conversation, you decide to adopt the dog, then an appointment will be made for a home visit. During this interview you will get all the information regarding the adoption process and the dog will be held for you in pre-reservation. This means that, once the home visit is approved, the dog is reserved automatically afterwards. We do this because, between the home visit and the evaluation about this with the main responsibility, some time passes. If the dog for any reason whatsoever, can not be placed with you, then other potential adopters have the opportunity to adopt the dog. This gives the dog a quick second chance at a golden basket. Are you interested in a dog that is in pre-reservation? Please contact the main person responsible for your country so you can get on the waiting list.

Adopting a dog is fantastic and we and our dogs are very grateful to you!

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF PRE-RESERVATION:

The pre-reservation period is the time we need to examine the adopter, during this time we need to find out many things, if after this time the dog will not be reserved, for example because of a negative home visit, then the dog is again available for adoption. If other people are also interested in the same dog they now have the chance to adopt the dog.
People can always inform the head responsible of the country about the interest in the (pre-reserved) dog, they are then the new candidate if the pre-reservation is cancelled, this way the dog doesn’t lose his chance during the pre-reservation period.
A pre-reservation period has a maximum of 14 days.
