How to adopt

Our Adoption Process

Starts with an application, a face to face interview, then a home check. We want all family members to be present during the adoption process as well as any other dogs in the home. Each adopter is matched with the best fit for the family or applicant as well as the needs of the dog or puppy of interest. As sometimes we guide applicants to a better fit. Our goal is to make sure we match the best of the best to fit your family needs.

Once we have reviewed your completed application, we will contact you to arrange an opportunity for you to meet the dog you are considering. At that time, we will confirm the date and location for an introduction. If you already have a dog(s), this may be a good opportunity for the dogs to meet. If everything goes well, we will arrange for a house check.

Our dogs are in our homes, socialized, exercised daily and come with various levels of training. They are Micro Chipped, current shots and Rabies; they have been de-wormed and treated with a monthly topical flea treatment. We have certain protocol for certain dogs. If protocol is not followed by the adoptee, this is a cause for concern for the best interest of the dog. We stay in touch with our adoptees, to ensure a smooth transition for the dog and you. We are here for you every step of the way. We offer an hour and a half of FREE training to each adoptee, which is usually provided in two 45 minute sessions. If you are approved to adopt from Foster Friend Rescue, do you agree to have open communication with Foster Friend Rescue with updates on the dog’s progress, reasonable amount of time to return phone calls from us and send pictures every so often to keep us in the loop on your happiness with the dog?
