ADOPTION PROCESS
Step 1: Submit an application
Complete our adoption application form and tell us about your household, lifestyle, and experience with dogs.
Step 2: Virtual interview and home visit
Our team will conduct a virtual interview and virtual home visit to learn more about you, your household, and your readiness to adopt.
Step 3: Visit Hound Haven
Applicants who pass the virtual interview may schedule a visit to our center in Bulacan to meet the dogs and get to know potential matches in person.
Step 4: Begin a 30-day foster period
If a match is approved, the applicant and Hound Haven will sign a fostering agreement before the applicant begins a 30-day fostering period.
Step 5: Evaluate the match
At the end of the foster period, the adoption may be finalized, the fostering period extended for another 30 days, or the dog returned to Hound Haven if the placement is not the right fit.
Step 6: Finalize the adoption and stay connected
If the adoption proceeds, the adopter and Hound Haven will sign an adoption agreement and pay an adoption fee of ₱7,000, which helps Hound Haven recover some of the veterinary and medical expenses incurred before adoption and continue caring for more dogs in need.
Step 7: Stay connected
Hound Haven typically requests updates and photos after adoption to check on the dog’s well-being and adjustment to their new home.

ARF, MY NAME IS King!
- Breed: Aspin - Village Patrol
- Sex: Male
- Birthdate: Jan 01, 2021
King must not have had an ideal life. As far as anyone knew, he was a street dog before being taken in by a village community and subsequently trained to accompany security personnel in their nightly rounds. His right front paw and right eye are deformed, whether at birth or more likely as a result of an accident, giving him an oddly regal stance. This is why we decided to shorten his name from Ba'King to the more appropriate King.
