Adoption Process

Submit an adoption application, making sure to complete each question thoroughly. Once submitted, the following steps will take place:

• Vet Reference — Please call your vet and let them know we will be reaching out, and that it is okay to give us information about your pet history.
• Landlord/HOA Reference — If you have a landlord or HOA, we will contact them to make sure the animal we place with you fits within their guidelines.
• Personal References — We call each reference just to get a feel for what type of dog might be best for your family!
• Pre-Adoption Home Visit — EVERYONE THAT LIVES IN THE HOME MUST BE PRESENT FOR THE HOME VISIT. We are simply making sure the home is safe for an AHCR dog, as each dog has different needs and personalities. We are not here to judge your home, just trying to ensure the safety of our dogs and making sure it is the proper fit! PLEASE NOTE, WE DO NOT BRING DOGS ALONG TO HOME VISITS.
• Results of References & Home Visit — Results will be submitted to our Adoption Team, who will then reach out to you as well as the foster of the dog(s) you are interested in to set up a time to meet your family. We encourage you to meet on neutral ground if you have other dogs in your home and are adopting a dog. The application, as well as the home visit, must both be completed and approved before a dog can be met.
• Adoption is final! — Please note, adoption fees are non-refundable if the dog needs to be returned for any reason.

Adoption fees vary. Contact us at info@almosthomecaninerescue.com for current fee information.

Our adoption team will reach out to coordinate meeting the pet. They will work with both you and the foster family to find a time and place that works for everyone.
