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.
