Our Adoption Process. |
Policies and Procedures. |
|
1. Submit an application! Please read carefully. If there is missing information on your application, we will not proceed with the review.
2. After your application is submitted, call your vet to release records for us to obtain a reference. We will verify proof of spay/neuter and that your pet has been kept up to date with a minimum requirement of Rabies and DHPP vaccinations for any pet you've owned in the last 5 years. 3. After your application is submitted, email oarwny@gmail.com with current photos of your home's inside living space AND front and back yards for us to have on file with your application. A volunteer will verify your home is ready for a new pet at the home visit/meet & greet. 4. When you receive an email that you are approved to adopt, you will be contacted by the foster to set up a meet & greet with you and all current pets/family members in the household. 5. Sign the contract to officially adopt your new family member and love them furever! Keep in touch and send us updates! |
We strive not only to find great homes, but to match the home with the dog. For example, if an applicant is approved and has a cat, but the dog that is applied for is not good with cats, we would not approve that match even if the home is a great home. We want to do everything possible to make sure each adoption is successful for the life of the dog/pup.
Effective February 2019: The adoption fee is $275, which includes all medical care while the dog/pup is in the group, the spay/neuter procedure with one of our participating vets and a 15 lb bag of TLC Dog Food. If you decide to use your own vet for the spay/neuter, the cost of the procedure is the owner's responsibility and the adoption fee would remain $275. Once the spay/neuter is complete, a copy of the certificate must be emailed to oarwny@gmail.com.
