An application is required, which is reviewed by an adoption committee. 24-48 hours are requested for the review process. If approved, an adoption contract is signed. All medical information regarding the animal is shared with the new adopter. Microchip is registered to the new owner. All pets are altered prior to adoption. An adoption follow-up call is also placed to the new family within 30 days of the adoption.
