Adoption process

Our simple and straightforward Adoption Questionnaire begins the adoption process. This questionnaire is our preliminary way of getting to know you. By answering questions about your expectations, interests, experiences, lifestyle and family dynamics, our adoption counselors can be best prepared to provide information about the pets you may be interested in and help you find the best match for you and your family. You can download and complete the adoption questionnaire in advance and bring it with you or you can complete it on-site when you arrive at AWS.
