Adoption Process
Fall in Love! - You are encouraged to visit us at adoption events and contact specific foster homes via the email found on the dog’s profile for more information on any of our dogs.
Submit an Adoption Application - Once you have found the dog you are interested in, submit an adoption application on our website. Please be thorough and make sure it is completely filled out.
Application Processing - Your application will be processed by one of our volunteers. It will be scanned for completeness and veterinary and landlord checks will be performed if needed. If your application is approved, it will be forwarded to the dog’s foster home for their review.
Foster Review - The foster home will review all applications for their foster dog to determine applicants that may be a good fit. The foster home will select the home(s) he/she feels may be the most ideal home for the dog and set up a home visit.
Home Visit - The purpose of the home visit is to ensure a safe environment for a dog and see how the dog you are interested in interacts and fits in. All members of the household (human and pet) are required to be in attendance and it should take approximately 30 mins. Please note, several home visits may be performed for the same dog and selection for a home visit does not guarantee you as the best choice for the dog.
Adoption - Congrats, your home has been chosen as the best fit for the dog! Once you pay the adoption fee and sign the adoption contract, your new family member is all yours. A copy of the contract as well as vet paperwork will be provided to you.
