Adoption procedure is by appointment with a pre approved application on file. This process is smooth and fast, saving your time and ours. In most cases once you are pre approved you may take home your pet of choice the day you visit. Along with your adoption applications please send us a copy of your driver's license, and a virtual visit of your home, photos or a video tour of your home inside and out and if you are applying for a dog we need to see your yard and if your yard contains a fence, please photograph all four sides of your fencing. Please note that a fence is not required to adopt most dogs. Please understand that we handle each adoption on an individual basis and we adopt based on best match, not first come first serve. We do not make appointments until your adoption application has been processed. The processing of your application may take a few days to one week, much depends on how thorough your application has been filled out, and how accessible your references are. Please make sure that when you submit your adoption application that we also receive a copy of driver's licenses of all adults living in household. We do not adopt to any person with a criminal background. Please submit applications to hartshelterteam@gmail.com. Thank you for understanding.
