Our Adoption Process

Our adoption process starts with you. 

1. You fill out an adoption application for the animal you are interested in.
2. We review your application, and will contact you if we notice any errors.
3. We complete any necessary landlord, reference, and vet checks.
4. If everything looks good, we'll bring your foster out for a home visit.
5. If you and the animal seem to be a good match, we'll sign the adoption papers.
6. Congrats on your new family member!

Please note that we may have other people interested in the animal you have applied for.  In this event, our staff will do their best to make a fair judgement of which application we wish to continue with.  Don't be disheartened if another applicant is chosen - it just means your purr-fect pet is still out there waiting! If after you are approved and not quite ready to have in the home, (i.e. Vacation, etc.) there will be a $25 fee per day to hold.

Adoption Application Fee

As of April 2015 we have instilled a $25 adoption application fee.  In order for your application to be fully processed, this fee must be paid.  In the event you are not chosen for the animal, this application fee will be refunded.  However, if your application is approved and you decide to cancel the adoption, this fee will not be refunded.  It takes a significant amount of work to review applications and arrange home visits.  It is very frustrating to plan a home visit/adoption only to find out the interested party simply wanted to meet the animal, with no plans to adopt.  Please, make sure you are ready to adopt before you apply.  If you would like to meet any of our available animals, check our Event Calendar or Facebook for upcoming "Meet & Greet" events.

Reserving A Puppy

From time to time we may have full litters of puppies in the rescue.  These puppies cannot be adopted until they have been fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and micro-chipped.  These puppies will have an "Available" date listed on their page.  You can reserve a puppy by filling out an adoption application.  When/If approved, we will ask for a $50 deposit to hold the puppy for you.  As soon as the puppy is ready, the adoption will be finalized.
