Dog Adoption Process

Adopting a dog is a wonderful decision, but it requires commitment. Dogs from shelters are not toys; once adopted, they are part of your family. Here's what you need to know about the adoption process

Initial Steps

Meet the shelter owner: Before adoption, it's essential to personally acquaint yourself with the shelter owner.
Personal meeting with dogs: Meet all the dogs at the shelter or specifically with the one you've already chosen, if applicable.
Home check: Volunteers will visit to ensure your home is suitable for the dog's needs.
Fill out an application form: Complete the provided form, which will be sent to you via mail, and bring it to the shelter.
