Adoption Process
Savedogcat’s mission is to provide forever homes for the hundreds of animals that need our help. But, as important as it is to ensure that the animals are a suitable match for you, we also want to ensure that you’re in the right position to adopt one. Our adoption process is simple: select which animal you’re interested in, fill out an application form and if selected, there will be a home visit to get to know you a bit more and for further instructions.
Note that due to the high volume of adopters we get, you may not hear back from us unless you are selected to move forward with the home visit. However, this doesn’t mean that you don’t meet the criteria. We encourage you to stay updated on our “adopted” to check whether an adopter has already been found.
-
Step 1 - Finding your Furry Friend
Our website and instagram page are constantly being updated with the most recent and past rescues. Head to the “available for adoption” pages to search for your perfect match. Learn more about them and their rescue stories by selecting “read more.”
-
Step 2 - Filling out an Application
Once you have selected your preferred animal, fill out an application form, also found at the end of each animal’s description, to state your interest. Due to the volume of applications we get, it may take up to 2 weeks for us to process the applications. Again, you will only hear back from us if you have been selected to move on to step 3: home visit.
-
Step 3 - Arranging a Home Visit
SDC will contact you via phone number or email to arrange a home visit if you have been selected to move forward with your application. Under the circumstances, a virtual meet and greet will also be possible if you feel more comfortable with that option.
-
Step 4 - Meet and Greet
During this stage, we will chat with you to get to know you a little more and your interest regarding the animal. You may also ask questions and get to know the organization more as well.
-
Step 5 - Finalizing the Details of the Adoption
If everything goes well during the meet and greet, we will forward you an adoption agreement form in which you would have to read and fill out. This includes details about payment and your responsibility and commitment towards the animal you’re adopting. Payments can be e-transferred to the SaveDogCat email.
Note that prices may vary between each adoption and will take into account any vaccination and medical records as well as flight fees if your animal is currently being fostered in a different country.
-
Step 6 - Arrival of your Furry Friend
If your furry friend is located in a different country and needs to be transported to you via flight, we will give you details about the date and time of arrival as well as the preparations beforehand.
