Be The Change Animal Rescue's Adoption Policy
We send out an application. If someone is a match for one of our animals, we set up virtual and/or in-person meetings for the adopters and potential furry companions. The next step is a home check to ensure doors, windows, plants, fireplaces, etc. are animal friendly. Then we check personal references to verify identity, including, if applicable, a vet who has seen the adopter's previous animals. Lastly, we bring the animal in person to do a final check of the home environment. We stay in close contact for the first few weeks. If any issues arise, we support the adopter as needed. And we will always take an animal back should things not work out for any reason.
