Use this form to apply to adopt a Rescue Kerry, or to introduce yourself to a breeder if you are interested in purchasing a puppy.

The questions are meant to help you determine if a Kerry is the right breed for you, and to guide you in thinking about all the ways a dog will impact your life. The questions address various aspects of dog ownership that should be given serious consideration before you decide to share your life with any dog. Your answers help assess your suitability as a home for a Kerry, and to match a dog to your particular lifestyle and expectations. Please be as specific as possible, and answer all questions as completely and truthfully as you can. It helps us help you!

There are 10 sections to the form:

  • You and Your Family
  • Preferences
  • Why a Kerry?
  • Pet Ownership
  • Your Home
  • Your Yard
  • Care & Responsibility
