Ethel’s FAQs

What is The Little Black Dog Rescue Group’s adoption process?

Our adoption process is structured to provide timely responses to potential adopters. Our current practice is to respond to all applicants within 10 business days whether TLBD will move forward with your application. Application requirements: o Main applicant must be 18 years or age or older o Desired date of adoption must be within 2 weeks of submitting. If not, TLBD will hold off on review and notices until it reaches 2 week mark. If approved, your application will be valid for 1 year after submitting. Interviews • Interview should be to relay our mission, review any necessary clarifications from the application and their interest in adopting a rescue, and a few situational questions. There should be a STANDARD to what kinds of answers are better than others • If approved, applicant will be passed off to Placement Coordinator (PC) to schedule a Meet & Greet (M&G) between the foster dog and applicant M&Gs: • PC to facilitate M&Gs. PC will be second eyes on applications. • Fosters will be trained and given a checklist to act as the in-person interviewer. • If applicants cannot attend a M&G within 4 days of the interview, TLBD reserves the right to host another M&G in between. • We will host meet & greets one-by-one. Meaning an applicant must be rejected first (or them reject the dog) for the dog to be set up with another applicant, OR applicant is also looking at other dogs in our rescue. Approvals Board • Applicant has 24 hours to decide if they want to move forward. • Decisions from TLBD will be made within 48 hours of the M&G. • Checklist/ranking form for Approvals team to follow • Approvals team consists of: Adoptions Director, PC, and foster. Adoption Approval/Agreement • Once the adoption agreement is signed the adopted dog must be picked up within 48 hours of signing the adoption agreement.
