Additional adoption info

At Desert Paws Sanctuary, we’re committed to finding the perfect match for both our pets and their new families. Here’s how our adoption process works:

Submit an Application – Begin your journey by filling out our adoption application, which helps us learn more about you and your lifestyle.

Application Screening – Our team will carefully review your application to ensure a good fit for both you and the pet.

Reference Check – At this stage, we will contact your references to confirm the information provided.

Schedule a Meet-and-Greet – If everything checks out, we’ll arrange a meeting between you, your family, and the pet.

Adoption Day! – If the meet-and-greet goes well, you can finalize the adoption on the same day and welcome your new furry family member home!

We take these steps to ensure our pets go to loving, safe, and well-matched homes. Thank you for understanding and for choosing adoption!
