Adoption Process

Initially, we require our Fosters and Adopters to complete our Foster/FWITA Application. It contains basic information about you, your home and your family. Once the application has been submitted, we can select a dog to fit your home and lifestyle. We will then schedule a "Meet & Greet"/Home Visit with the dog. We do require home visits for anyone wishing to foster or adopt. FOSTERS: If the meet & greet goes well, the dog will remain with you and the Foster Contract is then signed. ADOPTERS: If the meet & greet goes well, the dog will stay with you for a 2 week (FWITA) trial period. The FWITA contract will be signed at this time and the Adoption Fee collected. At the end of a successful 2 week trial period, the adoption shall be considered finalized. If within those 2 weeks it is deemed the dog will not be a good fit in your home, the dog shall be returned to the rescue (please see our FWITA contract for additional terms and conditions).
