Our adoption process may have a few more steps than other rescues! That's because we take saving animals seriously. We need to ensure that they'll be going to safe homes.
Adoption steps
Submit Application
This step will give us more information about you, the personality and characteristics you're looking for in a pet.
Interview
It's important that you and the adoptable pet are a good match. The interview will give us both an opportunity to ask & answer any questions
Meet the Pet
Meeting the pet in person is very important. This will give the adopter the opportunity to feel a connection with the pet.
Home Check
We want to ensure that your home is suitable for the pet. We'll also call three of your references.

Take the Pet Home
Congratulations! You just adopted your new BFF!
Go meet their pets
Our organization is foster based. If you're interested in adopting one of our dogs, we will meet at the foster's house, or a nearby park.
If you're adopting one of kitties, you will meet the cat at the foster's home. Or, if the kitty is confident enough, the rescue will bring the kitty to your home for the meet and greet.
