Second Chance Dogs

1. Indicate Interest about the dog who is available for adoption 2. Discuss the dog’s biography with people who will often be with the dog 3. Make a list of questions about the dog 4. Evaluate the amount of time you can be with the dog…….he/she is a new family member 5. Fill out the adoption application 6. Send photos of the yard(s) & schedule a home visit 7. After Board approval, the foster family will get in touch with you ; scheduling a “meet and greet” 8. One of more Board members will be present at the “meet and greet” 9. A protocol for the “meet and greet” is sent to the people considering adoption. 10. SCD consults may take place throughout the application process. Topics such as dog nutrition; medical needs; training; getting along with other pets in the home may need to be discussed 11. When the “meet and greet” goes 100% well, depending on circumstances, the dog may go home with the new family 12. After the majority of “meet and greets”, the potential adopting family and SCD will review how things went and discuss options (people and/or dog training)
