- be at least 21 years of age
- have the knowledge and consent of all adults living in the household
- have approval from owner of residence (written in lease)
- have a valid ID with current address
- be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Almost Home Foundation
- be ready to make a lifetime commitment
Process:
-
(1) Meet with the animal and talk with an Adoption Counselor.
(2) Fill out an application.
(3) Understand that several applicants may be interested in the animal and it can only go into one home. Almost Home Foundation makes the decision with the best interest of the animal in mind. A decision to place the animal in someone else's home in no way implies that your home would not be a wonderful home for one of our animals. We are merely trying to make the best decision for the particular animal.
(4) Talk with the Adoption Coordinator. Please realize that the final decision to place the animal is determined by the Adoption Coordinator and at times, Board members.
(5) A Home Check will be done for applicants prior to any final placements being made.
(6) On some occasions, we will require dogs to take basic obedience training.
(7) Look at your contract for details on return policies.
(8) We expect our placements to be lifetime commitments. We cannot condone a "disposable" pet theory. If you must give up your animal, you must return the animal to Almost Home Foundation.
