The FBR Application to Adopt, Foster or Volunteer

*FORM INSTRUCTIONS*
If you submit an adoption application, you should receive a confirmation e-mail from us within 72 hours. If you don't receive confirmation, please contact us at info@flbr.org for assistance.

If you submit an adoption application and receive an error message, please contact us at info@flbr.org for assistance.
You may experience problems with this form if you use older versions of Netscape, Internet Explorer and other browsers.

You must answer ALL questions. Use as much detail as you like. Incomplete applications will not be processed.

*PLEASE NOTE* FBR does not encourage placing two female dogs together; however FBR considers adoptive homes on a case-by-case basis. Though the success rates of adopting female dogs to a home with another female dog are not high, your FBR contact person will consider each case before making a decision about whether a female dog will thrive in your home with another resident female. 

This form is only for Florida Residents to adopt a Boxer.
