Additional adoption info

The rescue process does take time because rescue groups want to make sure that they are doing their very best to make the placement of each dog the last “move” for that dog. The first thing you should do is to submit an Adoption Application by downloading the form, filling it out, and emailing it back to us. Once we receive the application, a volunteer will call you to interview you over the phone or we will ask you to attend our earliest Meet and Greet event to be interviewed in person. We will then call your vet reference and ensure that your pets are up to date on their vaccinations, spayed/neutered, and receiving heartworm preventative. If the interview and vet check are successful, we will come to an agreement with you on a dog that is a good match and set up a home visit. All family members should be present for the home visit because we will bring the dog to your home and ensure that your family and the dog are content before the adoption is finalized. If the adopter is out of the Austin area, we need to have a volunteer in the area to perform a home visit without the dog on our behalf. If there is no volunteer available, we will accept photos or videos of the home and current pets (veterinary reference required with this option). Then the adopter will need to drive to Austin to finalize the adoption and take the dog home...we will not ship dogs to adopters.
