At Friends of Wind River Humane Society, our adoption process is designed to set both dogs and adopters up for long-term success. We take the time to ensure each placement is a thoughtful match, prioritizing the well-being, safety, and happiness of every animal and family. Our adoption process includes the following steps: 1. Submission of online application by prospective adopter - this includes collecting key information such as household details, existing pets, vet references, landlord approval (if renting), and experience with animals. 2. Detailed application review by a member of our team - one of our dedicated volunteers/team members carefully reviews each application, looking for the best match for the animal’s needs. 3. Phone/virtual screening by a member of our team - one of our dedicated volunteers/team members, often from one of our foster caregivers, walk through the application questions in more detail, giving our team a solid understanding of the prospective adopter's lifestyle, expectations, experience with animals, etc. 4. "Meet and greet" with dog(s) of interest/compatibility - prospective adopters are invited to meet the animal, ideally in person if location permits or via video; if adopters have other pets and location permits, a controlled meet-and-greet might be arranged at this stage. 5. Final approval and adoption - if our team and the prospective adopter feel positive and wish to proceed following the "meet and greet, " an adoption agreement is signed and transport is arranged for the dog to their new home; depending on distance, this could include transport support provided by our organization; adopters are provided documentation of all medical history, microchip information, etc.
