Adoption Process: What To Expect
Step 1: view available adoptables
AVAILABLE ADOPTABLES
Only rescues listed under the Adopt tab on our website are available for adoption. If you have seen a dog on our social media platforms, but they are not appearing yet on our website this means they are currently on medical hold and/or with a foster family getting ready for their adoptable moment.
Each rescues profile contains all the information we currently have about them. We strive to be as transparent as possible. and give you as much information to find the best fit for you and your family. This also assists with success of the dog!
Please do not send messages, emails, or DMs about not listed or listed under the Adopt tab, as we are unable to respond to inquiries about unavailable rescues.
Step 2: Submit An Application
STEP 2: SUBMIT AN APPLICATION
APPLICATION DETAILS
An application must be completed before any further steps, such as answering questions, arranging meet and greets, or providing additional information. Our adoptable application is available on our website under ADOPT. We work on a first come first serve basis when receiving applications. However, we also find the best fit for not only the adopters but the dogs for success.
Be sure to fill out the application for the specific rescue you are interested in. There is a $10.00 application fee that is donated towards our rescues vetting and supplies.
Step 3: Application Review & Interview
PROCESSING OF APPLICATION
Once your application is submitted, our adoptive coordinator will contact you for an interview if your application meets our requirements. This interview allows us to ensure the rescue is a good match for your home, lifestyle, and the dog that you applied for is a good fit. If you are out of state, we will be conducting a virtual interview upon your initial call.
Step 4: Meet & Greet
If your initial interview call is approved by our coordinator, we will schedule a meet and greet with the rescue. If you are out of state, we will set up a virtual meet and greet with the foster that is responsible for the current dogs care.
Since we are foster based, our rescues are cared for in individual foster homes rather than a central location. The meet and greet location will be arranged according to what fits the fosters schedule.
Step 5: 24 Hour Decision Period
After the meet and greet, we ask potential adopters to take up to 24 hours to consider their decision, as adopting a rescue is a significant commitment.
Please note that there may be another meet and greet happening during this 24-hour period.
Step 6: Adoption Finalization Period
Once the 24-hour period is over, we will contact you to confirm your decision.
If you choose to proceed, the adoption contract will be signed, and all medical records will be emailed to you upon receipt of payment.
The adoption donation fee must be paid immediately upon finalizing the adoption and before arranging pick up of the rescue.
Important Guidelines:
Hold Policy/Out Of State Adoptions
Hold Policy
In-State Adoptions: To hold a dog longer than 24 hours, a $100 non-refundable deposit is required. This deposit will go toward the adoption donation fee.
Out-of-State Adoptions:
The total adoption donation fee must be paid once committed to rescue and contract is signed. If that is not met the contract is void and the rescue is available for the next potential adopter.
If transport is needed, we exclusively use our preferred transporter, Pawsitively Precious Cargo, LLC. They are the only person besides the adopter that is allowed to pick-up/handle our rescues. The full adoption donation fee must be paid within 24 hours of signing contract, as our transporter is on a schedule and works closely with us. Full payment of transport costs will be paid directly to her. She will contact you to make arrangements of scheduling and pricing.
Additional Notes:
Our team is dedicated to ensuring the best outcomes for both the rescue and adopters. By following these guidelines, you help us provide a smooth and efficient process. Please keep in mind: adopting a new dog, meet & greets and the process is emotional. We are here as a rescue for the dogs. Providing them a second chance at life, love, and success. Our rescues are placed in the most consistent, loving, and patient homes. They have been through unimaginable experiences, and we are here for them.
Thank you for understanding that our time is focused on the care of our rescues and facilitating successful adoptions. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend. If you are ready to adopt, visit our Adopt tab to view available rescues and begin the process.
