You CAN meet more than one dog, but not at the same time. Because we are foster-based, dogs may be located many miles from one another. If you do choose to meet a second or third dog, SSAR cannot guarantee that your initial choice(s) will still be available when a decision to adopt is made.

Sometimes there is an immediate click. Sometimes a little more work is needed to make an adoption succeed, especially when other pets are involved. Do not adopt if you are unsure. Most foster parents will set up a second meeting if it appears there is great promise in helping you to make the right choice.

You know your dog best. With two (or more) adult dogs potentially becoming a family, we strongly encourage a meeting between them in hopes that there will be a sibling bond.

We encourage adopters to be patient with their new family friend after adoption. We also encourage them to do their research before adopting to prevent misunderstandings. Knowledge of the breed, training & housing plans, and exercise requirements should all be considered prior to adoption. Discussions with the foster family can provide much of this information. If you feel, after adopting, that you have made the wrong choice, please contact SSAR to discuss options and/or reclamation of the dog.

No. Unless it is an unforeseen and unpreventable circumstance, the adoption fee is non-refundable, per the adoption contract.

Stray Souls represents dogs and puppies to the best of our knowledge with much emphasis placed on honest assessments. Breeds are often guessed by veterinarians at our partnering shelters and rescues and do not always reflect our ideas. It is entirely possible that your puppy is NONE of the breeds listed in his medical history and is growing up to be something you did not expect. All of us in the Stray Souls Family would like to thank you for loving him anyway. After all, Rescued is our favorite breed!
