Potential adopters are encouraged to complete an adoption application. Once an adoption application is submitted, one of our adoption coordinators will reach out for a phone interview (This is an informal conversation to answer any questions or address any concerns that you may have). We will contact references, veterinarians, and complete a home visit before approval. This process can take 3-7 day depending on return time of calls.
