RESCUE GANG
The Adoption Process
1
Submit Online Adoption Application
Applications are good for 6 months, so even if you don't know for sure which dog you want yet, you can still submit to get approved.
2
Application Processing
To process your application we:
-
Background check
-
Vet Check, if applicable
-
Landlord verification, if applicable
3
Approval and Application Status
Once your application is approved
-
you will receive email indicating whether the dog is available.
-
If there is another applicant ahead of you, you will be placed on the dog's waiting list.
4
Meet & Greet
A meet and greet can take place:
-
the foster's home
-
the rescue
-
a park
All members of the household, including pets, will need to meet the dog before an adoption can take place. In some cases, more than one meet may be necessary.
5
Home Visit
The home visit can take place at the same time as:
-
the meet and greet
-
during the adoption
-
even before the meet and greet takes place
We are checking to see if the environment that the dog lives in will be safe and comfortable. The foster will have a checklist of items to go over with you.
6
Adoption Decision
After the meet and greet, you will decide if you want to move forward with the adoption. If the foster agrees that it would be a good fit, you will decide on an adoption date. Sometimes, the meet and greet, home check, and adoption can all take place at the same time. Each situation is different.
