OneDogAtATime's adoption process
1.
Submit Application
I am a small organization which only has up to five dogs at any one time. I personally deal with all applications.
2.

Applicant must come to foster's home to meet the dog; an interview takes place at that time.
3.
Home Check
References are checked prior to home check.
Additional adoption info
All adopters (and fosters) must sign a contract promising such things as regular vet care; animal will not live outside; etc. Most importantly, they must return the dog to us if they no longer can keep it.

About OneDogAtATime
For the past ten years, I have placed dogs in the DC area. Most of them have come from the Director of the Wetzel County Animal Shelter in West Virginia. I have placed about 80 dogs in that time - usually just one dog at a time. I have recently begun working with a shelter in Mexico where I have a house (Sociedad Protectora de Animales) in San Miguel de Allende. We have had a large fundraiser and I will be bringing up five dogs at a time to find homes for over the next few years. SPA has a wonderful website which you can check out and we have a Facebook page about our project. We are bringing our first five up on April 5th 2019.
Please note: Almost all my dogs come fully spayed/neutered/vaccinated and healthy. I rarely have to use a vet for them, but have occasionally. The vet listed is primarily the one I use for my personal dogs. The Wetzel County Shelter would be a good reference for me.

Find a pet to adopt

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
