Completion of an adoption interest form and application, personal references, veterinary reference check, and a home visit.
Interested adopters first complete an online adoption interest form. Once an animal is matched, a meet and greet is scheduled at the foster home, an adoption event, or a community venue. Next, adopters complete an adoption application, undergo veterinary and personal reference checks, and complete a home visit. Approved adopters have a 48-hour cool-off period before welcoming their pet home.
