Step 2: Fill out the adoption application
Review the things to know and adoption contract. If adoption is right for you, fill out the online adoption application. Or, print the application and mail it or drop it off. All application information will be kept confidential.
Step 3: Await application approval
We're dedicated to find the best homes for our once homeless pets and to make the adoption process a positive experience. To make sure we meet this goal, we carefully review all applications. We check all personal references and reach out to your listed veterinarians. Dog adoptions may also require a home visit before approval. If approved, you will get a call to schedule a meet and greet. If you do not receive a call within 5 business days then we do not feel, based on the information provided, that you are the right fit for the animal you applied for.
Step 4: Take your new pet home
Bringing home a new pet is incredibly exciting. And adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue group is not only exciting, but it’s truly a feel-good experience as well. Every day, nearly 5,500 dogs and cats are killed in America’s shelters simply because they don’t have safe places to call home. By adopting, it means that each time you look into your pet’s eyes, you can feel good knowing that you truly did save a life.
