The adoption process starts with a prescreen review of a Guardian Application. Making decisions about dog placement in adoptive homes is an "art", not a "science", and there will be times when applications will be denied for various reason(s). This is left to the discretion of the MAPS after reviewing relevant information. MAPS reserves the right to make all decisions regarding placement or final disposition of any rescued dog in its care into a foster or adoptive home. There is absolutely no guarantee, made or implied, that any person or persons requesting to adopt a dog being fostered through MAPS, or posted on MAP's web site, will be granted an adoption. After a successful prescreen, including background checks, the applicant(s) are notified that they can visit the dogs and a time slot is made for the dog and applicant interaction. After the interaction we encourage several days of reflection before adopting a pet to help assure this will be a lifetime commitment of love and quality care for the dog. Next we conduct a home/neighborhood visit to the Guardian Applicant's home. If the home visit proves successful the new mom and/or dad of the dog will sign an Adoption Agreement and share a lifetime of love and mindful growth !<br/><br/>Guardianship Application available for download at<br/><br/>http://tinyurl.com/MAPSFiles<br/><br/><br/>MAPS Dog Rescue Mission<br/><br/>Midwest Area Pit Stop, Inc. (MAPS) is a foster home based rescue located in Madison, Wisconsin established in 2005 after being part of the Chicago Illinois based rescue Furry Friends for several years. MAPS focuses on providing a structured, safe calm environment for the dogs in their care that helps them flourish. This structured home environment is complimented by exercise, Positive Reinforcement Deference Training, very high quality dog food in addition to a broad spectrum of proven food supplements including vitamins and supplements. In addition to fostering, MAPS provides sponsorship funds to help with the veterinary expenses and/or Breed DNA testing to save dogs in need of a rescue at the end of their options. MAPS has been active in the community promoting dog safety, how to build a healthy relationship with your dog, and fighting breed discrimination including breed testing of hundreds of dogs since December 2007. MAPS believes that dogs are a central component for people to have a more meaningful and purposeful life. That is, if people are willing to embrace mindfulness in daily living. Dogs help us connect to reality and make life worth living through example and deep bonds. MAPS is not about how many dogs are adopted in the shortest amount of time but rather measures to help insure the dogs that are adopted do not come back for the wrong reasons.

Midwest Area Pit Stop Inc.'s Adoption Policy
Our adoption process is built around one goal: giving every dog the best possible chance at a safe, stable, and loving life. That means we look not only at who wants a dog, but at what each dog truly needs. When we skip meaningful “best‑interest” criteria, the relationship can end up being shaped by stress, confusion, or unmet needs — and that’s not fair to the dog, the family, or the community. Everything starts with a pre-screen review of the Guardian Application. Matching dogs with the right homes isn’t an exact science; it’s more of an art. Sometimes an application will be declined for reasons that may not be obvious from the outside. MAPS uses its judgment, experience, and the information available to make those decisions. MAPS also reserves the right to make all final decisions about where any dog in our care is placed — whether that’s a foster home or an adoptive home. There’s no promise, stated or implied, that anyone applying for a particular dog will be approved to adopt that dog. If the pre-screen and background checks go well, we invite applicants to meet the dogs. We schedule a dedicated time so the dog and the applicant can interact without pressure. After that visit, we encourage people to take a few days to think things over. Adoption is a lifelong commitment, and reflection helps ensure it’s the right fit for everyone involved. Next comes a home and neighborhood visit. If that goes well, the new guardian signs the Adoption Agreement — and that’s the beginning of a lifetime of love with their new companion.
