Once someone has expressed interest in a dog, we send them an adoption application to fill out. These questions help us determine if the dog is a right fit for their home/living arrangements. We will then set up a meet and greet and (if possible) home visit, to make sure the dog will get along with everyone (especially if they have other pets). We also rely heavily on references. Once it is determined the dog and person are the perfect fit, we will continue with an adoption contract and adoption fee.
Adoption steps
- Submit Application
We are foster based so once you find a pet either online or at one of our adoption events please submit an application bit.ly/BellesBudsApp
- Interview
Once the application is processed we will set up a phone interview and meet and greet (depending on your location).
- Meet the Pet
Once the application is approved, we will set up a meet and greet. This varies either at your house, with your pet, or at fosters house.
- Home Check
We require either a home video/pictures or a home visit.
- Sign Adoption Contract
If all goes well with application and meet and greet and we determine your home is the right fit for the dog, we have a contract to sign.
- Pay Fee
Our adoption fee goes towards the dogs vetting. All dogs leave fully vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered (if old enough)
- Take the Pet Home
Enjoy your new companion! We love our success stories!
