Adoption process

1. Contact A Caring Place: Let us know your interest in a particular dog by contacting us via email (acaringplace@comcast.net) or voicemail (630-375-7976). Please be sure to provide a phone number that we can use to call you back. 2. Learning More: The Adoption Counselor assigned to the dog that you have contacted us about will contact you to share answer your questions, explain how our application process works, and provide you with more detailed information on the dog. 3. Make Application: Complete and submit our Adoption Application. 4. Reviewing Your Application and Interview: Once your application is received, the Adoption Counselor assigned to that particular dog will review your application; she will then contact you to learn more about you and your household, get clarification about answers on the application, and learn more specifically how you will care for the specific dog you are interested in adopting. Please keep in mind that there may be other applications on the same dog you are interested in adopting. 5. Meet 'n Greet: If the Adoption Counselor and you think that the dog is a good match the Adoption Counselor will set up an appointment so that you can meet the dog. If you have other pets in the home, the meeting most likely will take place in your home. 6. Home Visit/Inspection: For the safety of the dog, a home inspection is required. 7. Thinking About It Overnight: After the showing, we ask you to take the night to determine if the dog is the right dog for your household by taking a little bit of time to reflect on the meeting with the dog; the Counselor will do the same. 8. Contact Us: Let the Adoption Counselor know if you would like to pursue the adoption. 9. Adoption Counselor’s Decision: The Adoption Counselor will evaluate all of the applicants to determine which household she feels is the best suited for the dog. She will contact you to notify you of her decision.
