Adoption Process

In order to provide transparency and clarity into the process, Take Paws Rescue has established the following procedures and policies in relation to the Adoption Process. Step 1: Read this document in full. It answers most questions we receive regarding the rescue and the adoption process. If you still have questions, email us at [email protected]. Step 2: Pay the Application Fee online. Your application will NOT be considered without a one-time $10 donation. Step 3: Complete the Adoption Application online. We apologize for the inconvenience, but the application can only be accessed on a desktop or iPad. It does not currently work on most mobile phones. If you cannot complete it online, you can print out the application and email it to [email protected] (emailed forms will take longer to process). Step 4: Your application will be reviewed by an Adoption Coordinator. If any information on the application is incomplete or determined to be false, it will be NOT reviewed. (Ex: if you don't give us your landlord or vet's phone number, we won't be able to review it and will mark it incomplete). If, based on your application, you are considered to be a potential adoption candidate, a volunteer Adoption Coordinator will perform a vet reference check, if applicable. Step 5: If you are considered to be a potential adoption candidate based on the application review and vet reference check, your application will be sent to a Home Visit Coordinator. A Home Visit will be scheduled, and all members of a household (people & animals) must be present for the home visit. If the applicant lives out of the area or state, other arrangements can be made. Step 6: A member of the Home Visit Team will meet with you at your home. This is a very important step in the adoption process. The volunteer is there to make sure your home environment and lifestyle is a good fit for the pet you are interested in. Our volunteers want the best for the dogs we adopt as well as the people adopting from us. In some instances the visit will be by Facetime or Zoom, as determined by the rescue. Step 7: Your Home Visit report will be reviewed by our volunteers. If you are determined to be an Approved Adopter based on your Home Visit, an Adoption Coordinator will contact you to discuss the status of any specific dog/puppy you are interested in adopting. They will assist in setting up visits with available dogs that might be a good fit based on what you are looking for. Step 8: If, after full approval, there is not an available dog or puppy that is an ideal fit or it is not an ideal time for you to adopt, we will add you to our Pre-Approved Adopter List.
