Best Friends Animal Society West LA

Adoption process

The adoption process at Best Friends Animal Society in Los Angeles is designed to ensure that every animal finds a loving and suitable home. To begin, interested individuals should visit the organization’s website to view available pets. Once a potential match is found, the next step is to complete an adoption application. This application helps staff understand the adopter's preferences and lifestyle to facilitate a good match. After submitting the application, a staff member will contact the applicant to discuss the details and answer any questions. If the application is approved, the adopter will schedule a time to meet the pet in person. During this meeting, the adopter can interact with the animal and assess compatibility. Once a match is confirmed, the final steps include signing the adoption contract and paying the adoption fee, which helps support the care of other animals in need. The new pet owner will receive important information about their pet's care and any necessary medical records. Best Friends Animal Society is committed to supporting adopters even after the adoption, providing resources and guidance to ensure a successful transition for both the pet and the new family.
