Final Decision: By the end of the FTA period, please let us know your final decision to adopt or return the dog to our rescue.
Home Visit: After the adoption process we conduct a home visit either in person or via zoom meeting to ensure that everything is going well with the transition and to answer any final questions you may have.
Neuter/spay for puppies: if dogs are adopted prior to 6 months of age and are not neutered/spayed yet, we will work with you to coordinate an appointment with one of our veterinary clinic partners or you can go through your vet and we will give you a partial adoption fee reimbursement.
**Note: Adoptions are not considered final until the dog is neutered/spayed if applicable**
