All of our adoptions begin with either filling out an application on our website, or visiting one of our adoption events. The adoption coordinator and/or the pet's foster parent will review the applications received. The applicant (if any) whose responses best fit the needs of the particular pet will generally be contacted within a week for a phone interview. A vet check and personal references are required as part of the adoption application as well.
We have a two-week trial period before any adoption is finalized, to make sure the pet is a good fit for your home. Our non-refundable adoption fee covers spay/neuter, core vaccines (distemper and rabies), deworming, microchipping, and the general care of the animals. Per our contract, if you cannot keep your adopted pet for any reason, it must be returned to our program, so that we will try to find it a new home.
