Adoption Application

IMPORTANT: Whenever possible Military Animal Project (MAP) obtains its dogs from shelters/Rescues and therefore the dog will be a mixed breed. Military Animal Project will NOT be able to match you with a specific breed of dog (Boxer, German Shepherd, Great Dane, etc.). 

You may indicate the size of dog you would like to be matched (but not breed, gender, color, etc.) We will do our best with the match but can not guarantee. 
You may advise us of particular breeds that you do not want to be matched. 
The most important criteria Military Animal Project utilizes to select dogs is: (1) temperament, (2) sociability and (3) personality. 
All dogs shed. Dogs that don’t shed (poodles, Yorkshire terriers, etc.) require grooming every 4-6 weeks (Approximately $65-$85/MO)
