Adoption Process

The adoption process at Best Friends Animal Society in New York is designed to ensure a successful match between pets and their new families. Interested individuals can begin by browsing available animals on the organization’s website. Once a potential pet is found, the next step is to complete an adoption application. This application may include questions about the applicant's living situation, lifestyle, and preferences regarding pet characteristics. After submitting the application, a staff member will review it and may contact the applicant for further discussion. This step may involve a phone interview or an in-person meeting to assess suitability and answer any questions. If approved, the applicant will be invited to meet the pet in person. Upon deciding to adopt, the new pet owner will complete the necessary paperwork and pay the adoption fee, which typically covers vaccinations, spaying or neutering, and other veterinary care. Finally, the new owner will receive guidance on how to integrate the pet into their home, ensuring a smooth transition for both the animal and the family.
