​

Home Visit 

​

Once your application has been processed, you will be contacted by our home visit coordinator to either arrange an in - person visit or photos or video so we can see where your new pup would be living. ​​

​

Adoption Approval

​

Once your home visit has been successfully completed, you will receive a notice that your application to

adopt has been approved.

​

The notice will include information on payment and an adoption contract, which must be completed and submitted before the adoption can be finalized. 

 

The adoption is not finalized until contract is signed and dated, adoption fee is paid, and after you have your pup/dog in your hands.  IF YOU fail to sign and date the contract then the pup/dog is still as Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue dog and is legally ours until the contract is agreed to, signed, dated by you and you have your pup/dog then we can finalize the adoption after we have the vet records uploaded into our software system and Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue has registered the microchip.  ALL microchips are registered to adopters as primary and Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue will ALWAYS be listed secondary.  This protects the dogs if they should get loose and the owners can't be located.  The microchip company will call, email and text Survivor's Paws Animal Rescue.  This does work keeping you pup/dog safe. 

​

You will then be informed as to when and where you can take your new best friend home.

​
