 The Adoption Process
Thank you for your interest in adopting a SOS Pen Pals dog. Our animals are housed and trained in correctional centers throughout Virginia.
Our adoption counselors and trainers review the information contained in the adoption applications and conduct telephone interviews to ensure that the dogs are placed in homes best suited for their personalities and any special requirements. The application and interview process makes it easier for us to learn more about you so that we can help find the perfect match for your home.
SOS Pen Pals dogs are selected from shelters, rescue organizations and veterinarians. The SOS Pen Pals trainers evaluate the dogs to ensure that they are well suited to participate in the training program. |

All dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm tested, de-wormed, and kept current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Other medical needs are provided while the dogs are in the training program. We fully disclose any known health problems to prospective adopting families. |
