Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
We aim to make the adoption process smooth and pleasant. We follow the "open adoptions" forum to allow for as many adoptions as possible into acceptable homes.
Adoption steps
Visit the Facility and Find a Pet
The animal can be found on-line or on social media. In person visit isn't the only way to find the pet.
Submit Application
An interview/open conversation happens at the time of application (if in person) or over the phone when calls are made for apps submitted.
Meet the Pet
Meet and greets are done the same day if the visit is in person.
Sign Adoption Contract
If nothing in the conversation or history precludes the applicant from adopting, the adoption contract is drawn and signed and the fee paid
Take the Pet Home
If the pet has been spayed/neutered already, the pet can leave the same day with approved applicant.
Go meet their pets
