Kindred Spirits Animal Rescue

Adoption process

Adoption Process Our goal is to ensure that all of our animals find safe, loving, and permanent homes. To achieve this, we have established a concise yet thorough screening and adoption process. If you are interested in adopting one of our pets, the first step is to complete a pre-adoption questionnaire. We prioritize the well-being of both the animals and potential pet owners, aiming to prevent any mismatches that could lead to heartache for everyone involved. We reserve the right to discontinue the adoption process at any stage if we believe the chosen animal may not be the right fit for your family. We appreciate your understanding in these situations. The process is as follows: 1. Complete the pre-adoption questionnaire, after which we will verify the provided information. 2. If the information checks out positively and you are deemed a good match for the animal, we will arrange a visitation with the pet you are interested in. During this visit, we will bring the animal to your home to observe its interactions with your family members and any existing pets. 3. If the visit goes well and we feel that the pet is comfortable with your family and any other pets, and that it is a suitable match overall, we will proceed with the adoption at the time of the home visit. 4. For first-time pet owners, you must reside in Pennsylvania. You will need to provide the name and phone number of the veterinarian you plan to use, ensuring that you have confirmed they are accepting new clients. Your personal references should include family members who are pet owners. 5. For out-of-state adopters, excellent veterinary references are required. If approved for adoption, you must provide photos of your home and yard. Additionally, you should be prepared to travel to Pennsylvania to meet and adopt the dog(s) you are interested in. Please note that out-of-state adoptions are not permitted for first-time pet owners.
