Adoption process

Step 1: Fill out our ONLINE ADOPTION APPLICATION. Once that is complete, we will contact you within 24-48 hours. Step 2: If your application is approved, then we can set up a meet and greet. If you have any other animals, we can assist with introductions to make sure that they all get along. Step 3: Home check. If your application is approved, then we make an appointment to come by your house and see where your new pet will be living. We will be looking for a safe, secure, happy & healthy environment where a dog and/or cat will thrive as a part of your family. Fence Checks: During our home inspection we will walk the perimeter of your yard to make sure that your fencing is "dog proof". Although we want your new dog to reside primarily indoors, we also have to make sure that your fencing is secure and safe. Things that we will look for in regards to your fence; any loose fence boards, large holes or gaps, weak fencing that is falling down, low spots where a dog can dig out, low fencing where a large dog can easily jump over, neighbor’s dogs that can easily poke their faces though fence holes, items close to the fencing that can enable a dog to jump up on to get over the fence, etc. Some things that you can do to prepare for a home inspection/fence check: Keep a pad lock on any gates, secure any loose fence boards with screws/hammer/nails. Cover and secure any holes, gaps or low spots to create a safe and "escape proof" yard. Reinforce any weak fence spots. Place fence extensions on low fencing to prevent dogs from jumping over. Remove any items close to the fence that can enable a dog to jump over a fence. Clean yard of any debris, trash or dangerous items that can cause harm to an animal. Also, adding a latch to the bottom of your gates can prevent a dog from pushing out, the weakest part of the gate is the bottom. If all these things go well, that's it!
