At Welcome Paws Korean Dog Rescue, our adoption process is thoughtfully designed to ensure the best possible match between our dogs and their future families. After submitting the application form on our website, our team carefully reviews your information to determine whether your home and lifestyle align with the needs of the dog you're interested in. If your application appears to be a good fit, we will reach out to schedule a phone or video interview. This step is typically followed by a reference check and, in many cases, a virtual or in-person home visit. Once approved, we’ll work closely with you to finalize the adoption and arrange transportation or pick-up. Our goal is to support both our dogs and adopters throughout the entire process, ensuring a smooth, positive, and lasting transition.
