Steps to Adopting Your New Best Friend
01
Explore Our Dogs
Browse the available dogs currently waiting for their forever homes. Each dog has a unique story and personality.
02
Complete the Adoption Inquiry
Submit your information to our team. We will review your application and contact you to discuss your home environment.
03
Interview & Home Check
We start with a video interview to get to know you, learn about your lifestyle, and determine whether the dog may be a good fit for your home. If we decide to continue with the adoption process, we will ask you to provide photos and videos of the indoor and outdoor areas the dog will have access to
04
Virtual or in Person Meet & Greet
You’ll have the opportunity to meet the dog and learn more about their personality. Depending on the dog’s location, the meet & greet may take place virtually with the person caring for the dog or in person if the dog is already in your area.
05
Adoption Agreement
If everything feels like a good match, we move forward with the adoption agreement for review and signature.
06
Travel Coordination
We coordinate the dog’s travel logistics, including veterinary documentation, import requirements, airline arrangements, travel kennel preparation, Flight Angel coordination when available, and ground transportation when needed.
Depending on the dog’s location and travel route, transportation may involve a commercial flight, airline cargo, a volunteer Flight Angel, and/or ground transport to the final pickup location.
07
Pickup & Handover
We coordinate the safest and most practical pickup plan based on the dog’s travel route and location. Depending on the journey, pickup may take place at an airport, a designated meeting point, the Canadian side of the border, or directly from a foster home.
We will provide you with the final pickup details and any instructions you need before the dog arrives.
