Saving Tails Animal Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption Application- Individuals interested in adopting a Saving Tails Animal Rescue animal can view all available animals on the STAR website. When they find an animal that they may be interested in meeting they will then complete an adoption application. This will then start the process of a potential adoption. It does not “bind” an applicant to the specified animal that they complete the application for, it merely is a request to meet an available STAR animal.

Application Review- All Applications are thoroughly reviewed. If the applicant may be the right match for the animal, it will be forwarded to the foster caregiver for review. If the foster caregiver feels that their foster animal would be a good fit for the potential adopter; he or she will contact the applicant to answer questions about the animal and make arrangements for a meet and greet.
Please understand that it is very important to find the right match for both the animal and the adopter. An application that is not approved for a certain animal does not necessarily mean that the adopter would not make a great pet guardian; it merely means that the adoption may not have been the right match.

Approval to go Forward with a Meet and Greet- Meet and greets are scheduled with the foster caregiver and the potential adopter. These can be done at any convenient location for the foster caregiver. Adoption events would be the preferred location, but often time they are done at the caregiver’s home, the potential adopter’s home, or an animal friendly business.

Home Visit- If after the meet and greet, the animal is determined to be the right match for the adopter, the adoption will then be listed as “pending”. A home visit will then be completed by a STAR volunteer. This is a home visit to determine if the home is a safe place for the animal. If a dog requires a fenced in yard, this will also be thoroughly checked at this time.

Finalize Adoption- After the home visit is approved, the adoption can then be finalized. There will be an adoption contract to fill out and the adoption fee to make payment for. Arrangements can then be made with the foster caregiver to pick up the new family member!

About Saving Tails Animal Rescue

Saving Tails Animal Rescue (STAR) is a Twin Cities, Minnesota based 501c3 non-profit volunteer animal rescue. STAR was founded with the goal of helping local animals who are unclaimed, abandoned, abused or neglected. Through foster homes, STAR will provide a safe and loving environment for animals in need to recover and be rehabilitated both mentally and physically. STAR’s goal is to build a strong network of volunteers who are dedicated to helping to provide safe and loving homes for animals with the goal of finding them their forever homes. Donations are needed to cover pull fees to get animals out of shelters and to cover veterinarian and living expenses. We support the NO KILL platform and envision the day when all shelters will be NO KILL.

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in South Saint Paul, MN.

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.
