Adoption Process

1. All applicants must be 23 years of age and must complete an adoption application. 2. You application will be reviewed and all veterinary and personal references will be contacted. 3. Home Visit / Play Date - All household members, including current pets, are required to attend the home visit. All needed repairs to fencing must be completed prior to this visit. 4. Two Week Trial Adoption Period - We require this two week trial on all adoptions so that the new pet has time to get settled and their true personalities can surface. It gives the new home a chance to make sure this pet is the right fit for everyone involved. Please understand that like a child, a new pet needs time to adjust and settle in. There is an adjustment period. 5. Adoption Agreement and Adopton Fee. 6. One policy to note: If you have children and you are applying for a dog, we will require you to have a physically fenced yard. Electric fencing is not acceptable in most cases but exceptions are sometimes made dependent upon the dog.
