Application Process
What Is Your Application Process?Step 1. Complete the application – https://poodleandpoochrescue.org/apply_to_adopt, please be thorough and provide as much detail as possible.
Step 2. Our application team will get to work on your application, contacting your vet’s office for reference and verifying that all detail provided on your application is accurate. Your current pet must be up to date on vaccines (unless there is a medical reason otherwise) and spayed or neutered (unless there is a medical reason otherwise).
Step 3. The foster parents know their foster dog best, he or she will contact you to discuss the dog and answer any questions you may have.
Step 4. If all goes well, a meet and greet will be scheduled at a time and location both convenient for you and the foster parent. Please be prepared for a home visit in some cases, this may be required.
Step 5. If all goes well at the meet and greet and the foster parent feels that you are a good fit for the dog, an adoption can be finalized at that time. This is not always the case, adoptions are never guaranteed – there may be other meets scheduled for the dog and it is the foster parents decision to select the best and most appropriate fit for that dog. If you do move forward with an adoption, you will be required to complete a contract. Our adoption contract is electronic and can be completed from a computer, tablet or phone. At this time, the foster parent will collect the adoption donation (check made payable to Poodle and Pooch Rescue, Pay Pal or cash) and they will take a family photo that we can share with our donors. If you’re adopting a puppy or a dog that requires follow up medical care or treatment with a PPR vet, we will contact you after the adoption has been finalized to arrange future appointments with you via email. You are required to bring the dog to every appointment and communicate with PPR until all vetting is complete.
Do I Have to Complete a New Application Each Time I See a Dog I Want to Meet?No. Your application remains on file with PPR, there is no reason to submit multiple applications. If you see a dog of interest, simply email us at info@PoodleandPoochRescue.org and we will get your previously approved application to the foster parent. If you have any address changes, please make us aware and we will update your application.
