Adoption Process

• Eligibility Requirements

  • Potential adopters must be 21 years of age or older.

  • Approval from all adults living in the household is required before adopting a pet.

• Application Submission

  • Potential adopters will fill out an application on our website for the pet they wish to adopt.

• Application Submission

  • Potential adopters will fill out an application on our website for the pet they wish to adopt.

• Application Review

  • Our Adoption Coordinators will review the application and reach out to the potential adopter for any clarifications or additional information.

• Home Check

  • Potential adopters will either:

  • Submit pictures and videos for a virtual home check, or

  • Schedule an in-person home check with an Adoption Coordinator.

• Consent Verification

  • We will contact the person listed as your back up on the application to confirm their consent to take responsibility for the pet and ensure they will return the animal to us if needed. As well as let them know that if the animal does come in their care and they are unable to care for it at any time they can always return the animal to Ruh Roh Rescue.

• Approval or Denial

  • Based on the information gathered, the Adoption Coordinator will either approve or deny the application. If denied, the potential adopter will not be able to adopt that particular pet.

• Finalization

  • Once the application is approved, the Adoption Coordinator and the potential adopter will schedule a drop-off for the pet and finalize the adoption paperwork.

• Note:
  The process is completed as quickly as possible, but the speed depends on how quickly communication is maintained throughout the steps. Thank you for your patience!
