Adopt
At TEAM Dog Rescue, we pride ourselves on a thorough adoption process to ensure that every dog goes to the right home for his or her unique needs.
- Our Adoption Coordinators spend time getting to know each dog in our program.
- Our Foster Families play a big part in assessing us on each dog’s behavior, training developments, needs, and progress.
- We work closely with our Veterinary Partners to ensure they are all healthy prior to adoption.
The Process
We ask for a little patience during the adoption process, as often times our volunteer Adoption Coordinators are managing many applications per dog.
How our adoption process works:
- Application: You submit your online application when you learn about a dog that interests you
- Phone interview: If the application is a suitable fit for the dog, we complete a phone interview to discuss the dog and your needs and lifestyle further
- References: Three personal references are called, and one veterinary reference is called (when applicable)
- Home Visit: A volunteer will complete a home visit to ensure it is a safe environment for a dog
- Meet and Greet: Scheduled for you (and the entire family) to meet the dog
- Adoption: If all goes well, the final step is adoption!
