FAQ: FAQ

WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR ADOPTING A DOG?

The first step is to fill out an adoption application and get fully approved to adopt from us. We HIGHLY recommend getting fully approved before looking at specific dogs since many tend to get adopted quickly, especially puppies and small dogs.

Once you have turned in your application and required pictures, an adoption coordinator will review your responses, pictures, and videos and reach out within 48 hours.

If we decide to move forward in the adoption process, we will schedule an interview with you via phone/zoom to review any questions we have and will explain how we operate. During the call, we will let you know if we decide to move forward and approve your application.

We will send you a copy of our adoption contract, pet records, and other necessary documents if approved. From there, we will arrange transport, and within 1-2 weeks, your new family member will be on their way to you. 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HEAR BACK FROM THE ADOPTION COORDINATOR?

If you do not hear from us within 48 hours, we received a high volume of applications for that animal, or you did not email us the corresponding pictures needed to complete the application. The application process is at no charge to you and only needs to be completed once. Applications will be kept on file.

CAN I VISIT YOUR RESCUE?

We do not have a physical location as an entirely foster-based rescue. All of our dogs are located in foster homes throughout Texas. If you are interested in one of our dogs, the first step is to fill out and submit an adoption application

CAN I MEET THE DOG IN PERSON BEFORE I ADOPT?

Sometimes a meet and greet can be arranged depending on where you are located. Typically, this only applies to TX residents unless the dog(s) are fostered out of state. Each adoption profile will specify if the dog is still located in TX.
