Adoption Application

BAPBR strives to find life-long homes for our dogs. We ask that you only consider adopting one of our dogs if you can guarantee it a home for its lifetime.

As a relationship-oriented rescue with a deep commitment to supporting our dogs before, during and after the adoption process, we normally do not adopt outside our local (Salem, Portland, Vancouver) area.

Please understand that we really love our dogs and are very invested in their success. We try very hard to place our dogs into homes that will make both the dog and their people happy. As such, completion of this application does not guarantee an adoption of one of our dogs, but rest assured that we will review each application with great consideration and care.

Please provide as much information as you can in the application as failure to answer one or more questions may result in your application being rejected. After reviewing your application if we believe that there would be a good fit, we will be in touch with you. Thank you so much for your interest in our dogs!

Please complete this application if you’re interested in one of our dogs currently up for adoption (due to the length of the app, we recommend filling it out from a computer).
