What is the Adoption Process?

♥ Apply to Adopt
Complete our adoption application. All adopters must be at least twenty one years old.

♥ Reference Checks
After we receive your application, our volunteers will contact your veterinarian and your personal references.

♥ Home Check
If your application moves forward, a volunteer will schedule a home check if needed for the dog of interest. This visit is not about judging your house. It helps us see whether your overall setup fit the needs of the dog you want to adopt. It also gives your current pets and any children a chance to meet the dog to be sure it is a true pawfect match.  All human and canine family members must meet the new dog.

♥ Finalize the Adoption
When everything is approved, you will sign the adoption contract and pay the adoption fee. This fee covers a remarkable amount of care. Your new dog will be:
• up to date on age appropriate vaccinations
• spayed or neutered
• microchipped
• on heartworm prevention
• on flea and tick medication
• groomed
• started on house training

All Pawfect Match dogs go home with a microchip, collar, leash, and a Pawfect Match tag.
