When adopting a paw, you need to take into consideration of what it takes to adopt a dog:

– I´m ready to adopt a street dog?
– Do I know what it takes?
– Do I have time for a dog?
– Please consider which breed you want to adopt
– You have to be 25 years old before you can adopt a dog from us
– As us questions! If you have any doubt about which dog would be best for your family,
then please ask us and we´ll help you out.
– We visit the adoption family before we say yes!

If you would like to adopt a dog from Santa Dog Foundation please visit our “adopt a dog”.
Here you will find the dogs that are looking for their forever home.

THERE IS A 3 MONTHS WAITING TIME

When you find a paw that you want to adopt on our webpage, you´ll then have
to wait 3 months before the dog can travel. It´s due to vaccines and a blood
test that are required from the EU. When the dog has it´s vaccine done and blood
test taken, then we´ll know when your adopted dog is ready to travel and we then
plan the flight.

ADOPTION CONTRACT

To ensure the dogs safety that are adopted by Santa Dog Foundation we ensure an adoption contact for adoption all of our dogs. The contact is legally binding in case the adoption does not fall though.

We visit all of our adoption families before saying yes to the adoption. Santa Dog Foundation approves the families and go thought the contact to ensure all formalities are understood. It´s not just a dog. It´s a family member and as any foundation we want only the best for our dogs.

FLIGHT & TRANSPORT

We arrange the transport for the adopted paw. We keep in contact with the family to ensure an update. All of our dogs have a flight companion that takes the dog to the airport. They meet us at the upon arrival destination. Our adopted dogs arrive in Hamburg or Copenhagen, and the adoption family have to go to the airport and pick up their adopted dog.

PICK UP YOUR FURRY FRIEND AT THE AIRPORT

It´s like having butterflies in your stomach! When you pick up your adopted paw the awaiting time is over. You don´t know what to expect and you don´t know how to react. It´s normal. As much as exited as you are the same goes for the adopted dog. Have patience and lots of love. It´s been a long ride and we´re almost there.

FOLLOW-UP & WHAT TO EXPECT

Your adopted paw is tired after a long flight. It´s very normal that the dog sleeps a lot due to a new environment. Don´t worry -it´s very normal. It´s a new beginning and you´re not alone. And we´re here for you and that is why we always follow up on our adopted dogs.
We visit the families after a month to see how everything is going and if the family has any questions. We love following our adopted dogs on social media. It´s important for us, that our dogs are well taken care of and have a safe home.

What Are the Requirements to Adopt a Rescue Dog?

representative will let you know if a home visit is needed before adopting a pet.
