How do I get started and what steps are involved in adopting?

The first step is to complete the Adoption Application , including references for us to contact.  When you have been pre-approved, we will provide the foster homes contact information in which you are asked to schedule a meeting within 24 hours.  The foster can answer detailed questions about the adoptable you’re interested in.  After meeting an adoptable, you are asked to let us know within 24 hours if you will be adopting them.  We handle adoptions on a first come first served basis and will move onto the next adopter after this time.  Our adoption process takes 2-3 days on average to complete.

If you decide to adopt, we require a signed copy of the adoption contract (provided in your approval email) and the adoption fee payment. Adults can go home right away and puppies/kittens can go home when they are 8 weeks old. For adult dogs we ask that you bring a leash and collar when you pick them up, so the current one can be used for the next dog in care. Vetting covered under the adoption fee which is not completed by the time of adoption will be scheduled by the rescue and you will be notified by email. If you are having issues with your new furry family member, our group offers support should you have questions about transitioning your new pet into your family or any concerns which come up along the way. Please understand that it does take some time for your new pet to transition into your home and feel comfortable.
