Homeward Bound Animal Rescue AZ

Info form our How to Adopt page on our website: If you find interest in one of our adoptable rescue pets please fill out our Adoption Request Form so we can get to know a little about you and your home life. This form will help us better serve your family's need and place our rescue dogs in appropriate homes for their temperaments and needs.



Once we receive your completed form we will contact you to set up an In - Your - Home Meet and Greet with the pet you inquired about. We try to respond to every inquire within 48-72 hours after submission. Please keep in mind just because you apply does not guarantee you a meet and greet; We may receive multiple submissions for one pet. We do our best to place each rescue in the best possible home to set them up for success.



At the Meet and Greet we will introduce you to the pet. We ask that every member of the household, or at least decision makers, of the household attend. This way everyone can meet the pet and decide if the pet's temperament, Size, and Personality is the right fit for your family. At this time we will also introduce your current pets with the possible new family member. You can expect a Meet and Greet to last at least 1 hour but can take up to 3 hours if needed.



After the Meet and Greet you will have a few choices.



1. You decide the pet is not a fit, OR you need time to discuss options / Need time to consider. The Pet will return safely to foster care. We may conduct other Meet and Greets during this time.



2. You decide, Yes, We want to move forward with the adoption process. We will go ahead and have you fill out the Official Adoption Form & Contract and exchange the adoption fee. We offer a 1-2 week window where if for whatever reason the dog doesn't work out in your home we will fully return your adoption fee within 30 days the exception of a $50 Deposit.



3. After the 1 week trial period you will receive the Microchip and County Registration Forms to transfer into your family name. Upon signing the Adoption Contract and Registration transfer the pet will legally and financially become your responsibility.
