Once an application is submitted and the applicant is determined to be an appropriate fit for the dog including all full check of the application - vet checks, references, home visit, etc., the process is as follows: 1. Our ADOPTION COORDINATOR, will connect the foster home with the information on the potential adopter. This is done via email. 2. The foster family contacts the applicant to talk about the dog and set up a meeting. 3. The applicant meets the foster dog and decides whether or not to adopt. 4. If the applicant decides to adopt, Adoption Coordinator is notified and will make sure that all paperwork including the adopter filling out an ADOPTION AGREEMENT and the adoption fees are paid. Once this is confirmed, she will notify the foster family that the dog may go home. The foster family and new adopter arrange for pickup of the dog. We believe in full disclosure. This means that adopters should know as much as possible about the dog they are interested in making a part of their family. We do not withhold information at any time or for any reason. Adopters have a right to know if their potential pet has any issues. We value the input of fosters in regards to the appropriateness of a particular home for the dog. Please express any concerns. WE reserve the right to approve or deny an adoptive home, but we value foster input and will make many adoption decisions with the help of a foster.
