Furever Friends Rescue and Transport's adoption process
Additional adoption info
We go through the following steps with those who adopt from us. The adoption counselors are available to answer any questions you might have and work with you throughout the entire process.
1. Apply. The very first step is to fill out an application and email it to adoptions@ffrat.org. You can indicate in your application if you are interested in a particular age range or gender of dog. Get a copy of our application here. We will be looking to see if you meet our standards for adopters while we are considering your application.
2. We’ll contact you. An adoption counselor will contact you by phone or email to set up a time to talk with you about your application and about dogs in general.
3. References. We will need to talk to your veterinarian if you have one. If you don’t yet have a vet, we will speak to your personal references.
4. Find your match. Once your references are checked, we can begin to see if any of our dogs would be a good match for your lifestyle. An adoption counselor will work with you to answer any questions and help you move toward an adoption. Once there is a potential match we will put the adopter in touch with the dog’s foster parents. If everyone agrees on the placement, we will move forward with the adoption process. We rely on our foster families to have the best knowledge of the dogs in their care and their assessment of the potential match is necessary before an adoption can take place.
5. The home visit. We require that someone from our rescue organization visits your home. During this home visit, all household members who will be a part of the dog’s new life must be present. We do this to get a feel for the home life and environment a dog would experience in your home.
6. Final approval decision. The adoption counselor will notify you shortly after the home visit to let you know if the adoption has been approved.
7. Adoption fee and contract. There will be an adoption contract for you to sign before you can bring your new dog home. FFRAT charges an adoption fee that is due before the adoption can be finalized.
Puppies (2 months to 1 year) are $175.
Adults over 1 year up to 8 years are $165.
Dogs aged over 8 years are $75.
Checks should be made out to Furever Friends Rescue & Transport. We also accept payments through Paypal.
After that, you and your new dog will start a new life together! But don’t worry, the adoption counselors will continue to be available to provide guidance during the initial adjustment period and for the following months.

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.
