OUR ADOPTION PROCESS
Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step toward finding your new best furend.
PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER AS SOMETIMES OUR EMAILS LIKE TO HIDE IN THERE.
WE WILL EMAIL YOU FROM AN @PETEYANDFURENDS.ORG ADDRESS.
Here’s what to expect:
Step 1: The Application
Our application is designed to help us find your perfect match; therefore, it is essential that you are as open and honest as possible when completing the form. Please note that upon receiving your application, our Matchmakers will:
Complete a check of public records associated with the applicant as well as all members living in the household
Contact your landlord (if renting)
Contact your current or previous veterinarian (if you currently have or have previously had any pets in the home). Please note that all animals currently in the home MUST be up to date on vaccinations and altered prior to bringing in a new pet.
Contact both of the references listed on your application
We recommend letting the appropriate parties know that you are interested in adopting prior to filling out our application.
Step 2: the conversation
Once your application has been reviewed, one of our adoption Matchmakers will be in touch to schedule a time to speak with you over the phone. The purpose of this conversation is to tell you a little bit more about Petey and Furends, review your answers to the application, and answer any questions you might have. Please note that we do reserve the right to complete a home visit (either in person or virtually).
Step 3: Matchmaking
Your designated Matchmaker will act as your guide. Their role will be to share with you which animals will fit your needs.
Don’t worry if there is not currently a dog that matches your needs. We are constantly in touch with our shelter partners and will work with you to find the perfect match.
Thank you!
