After we receive your application, you will be notified via email that it has been received. Processing time is up to two weeks depending upon results of your reference checks and home visit. Please alert your references that you have submitted their name as a contact for your application and that someone from Sauver Des Chiens will be contacting them. If you are renting, please provide your landlord information as we will be required to contact them to confirm eligibility of having a pet on premise and any restrictions the landlord may have regarding pet. Veterinary Reference Check Please do not apply if the below can not be verified by your veterinarian. Your application will be denied if any of the below requirements are not met: Your vet must confirm that?ALL?dogs have been regularly on heartworm preventative the entire time they have been in your care. Your vet must confirm?ALL?pets have a consistent history?of recommended immunizations, vaccinations, medications, and health checks/screenings. Please call the vet you have listed on your application and give them permission to release your information to us. We try our best to call them within 48 hours of receiving your application! Personal Reference Check Upon approval of the vet reference check, we will contact your personal references. It is important that you provide us with references that know you well. If you have pets, please make sure you choose references who know you, your pets,?AND how you care for those pets. We require at least one non-family member as a reference. Home Visit Upon approval of the veterinary reference check and personal references, you will be contacted and a home visit will be arranged. Please note that?ALL?family members must be present during the home visit. The home visit will be performed prior to adoption. No adoptions will be approved without a home visit. Inside/outside homes for dogs must have an existing fenced yard with shade, access to water, shelter to be protected from the weather. If part of our mission is to educate people on how to properly own our animals, we will be happy to work with you to make your yard secure or give instructions on how to properly build an enclosure. We will be happy to make a second home visit to verify once this has been done. Please note that the intent of our visit is not to see how clean your house is! The purpose of our visit is to see the environment that the dog will be living in, to ensure that adequate provisions are made for the dog’s care and to discuss dog ownership with you. Approval or Denial Once all reference checks (vet, personal and landlord, where applicable) and the home visit have been completed, an adoption coordinator will contact you. If we have further questions or concerns, they will be discussed at that time. If the vet reference check and home visit prompt no further questions, and the adoption coordinator is confident that you can provide an excellent home for one of our dogs, a volunteer will notify you of your approval as soon as possible. . Sauver Des Chiens is a?100%?volunteer organization. Please allow one to two weeks to process and review your application. In most cases, applicants are approved or declined within 5-10 days. The Adoption Contract Once an adoption is approved, the adopter will receive an adoption contract from the SDC Administrator. This is an online document which is electronically signed to finalize the adoption.
