Adopting from Where the Love Is

Adoption process

The adoption process begins with filling out an online application. Following this, the applicant will undergo a screening process to ensure that there is a good match between the adopter and the pet. Next, a meet and greet will be arranged to facilitate interaction. Finally, the necessary paperwork will be reviewed, signed, and the adoption fee collected before the pet goes home with the new owner.
