Can I come and meet all the dogs?
Sure you can, BUT all of our adoptable dogs and puppies are in foster homes, living with other pets and learning how to be great family members. We DO NOT have a physical location where dogs are kenneled. To meet an adoptable dog or puppy, check our calendar (on our main web page) to see where we are holding an event. If you are an approved adopter with an application on file, you may request a private meeting with dogs or puppies that you have seen or heard about.
I just put in an application. How long does it take to hear back?
An application with all the questions answered, with accurate information, can usually be processed in a few days. Our app team is made up completely of volunteers and sometimes, life gets in the way. But even with that, we try to have an answer, one way or another, within a week to ten days. Sometimes there are delays. Some vet offices will not release information unless they have the owner's verbal or written consent. Occasionally, we need to speak to an actual vet and then it's a phone tag situation which may take longer. And then there are cases where the vet's office has almost everything on record but will have to pull a chart for prescriptions that have been sent to Chewy, PetMeds, etc.
If you are putting in an application, look for a confirmation page once you've clicked submit. Contact your vet and authorize release of information to the Maggie Society. Check your text messages in case the processor has a question that needs to be answered, and check your email for other follow-up information.
If you still haven't heard from us, within 10 days, contact us, via website and ask for us to confirm receipt on your application. It is not uncommon for an application to be completed, but not go through due to a poor cell signal. Go to the ADOPT tab and scroll to the bottom of the application!

Why do you discourage owners from invisible fencing?
Invisible fencing gives a dog owner a false sense of security. While it may keep most animals (who have been trained) to the area, it does have several flaws. The biggest flaw is that animals can be trained to stay in, but other animals cannot be trained to stay out. Wildlife and stray dogs face no shocking consequence for entering the property and may come onsite and compromise the safety of your pet.
