![]() ![]() If the dog you applied for is adopted, please let us know if you would still like your application to be processed for another dog we have, or if a similar dog becomes available. ![]() Dogs listed as "Adoption Pending" or "No More Applications" on our site are no longer available. Please check back to our website for the most up to date information on each dog. ![]() After your application is pre-approved, we will arrange for you to speak with the foster family of the chosen dog. For dogs with multiple applicants, applications that initially appear to be the best matches will be contacted for the initial phone interview first. Our efforts are for both the dog and the applicant, and we feel it is very important for us to find you a dog that suits your family as well as the needs of the dog. Also, we do not place dogs on a first come first serve basis, but rather, take the time to ensure the perfect match for both the applicant and the dog and thus review all applications. If you have mentioned a specific dog, please keep in mind that we usually receive multiple applicants for each dog, and a submitted application does not guarantee an adoption. Alternatively, if you wish to meet your pup sooner, you are welcome to travel to their foster home. Our transports take 1-2 weeks to plan and are all volunteer, so we ask you keep your schedule open and flexible on the day they are to arrive. We do not have a facility in which you can visit. Our available pets listed are in our foster program, all up and down the East Coast. ![]() Should all parties involved want to move forward, and the home visit be approved, we will prepare to transport your pup to MD or NJ if they are in a different state. We will allow you to schedule the home visit directly with the volunteer to coordinate all schedules and we’ll be as flexible as possible. All residents must be present at the time our volunteer comes. This allows our adopters to make an educated decision if the dog of interest is right for their family and vice versa, as our fosters know our pups best. If compatible, we will arrange for you to speak with the dog’s foster family. The easier your application is to screen the better chance you have at being matched to your next canine companion! We will then conduct a phone interview to ask and answer any remaining questions and explain the remainder of the process. We require all existing pets in your home be spayed/neutered, current on vaccines and heartworm testing, receive monthly heartworm prevention and that you provide consistent, annual vet care. You will have to grant your vet's office permission to speak with us in advance. Please let your references know we will be calling. We will contact your three personal references, your vet reference and your landlord, if applicable. Our screening process is very thorough and because of such, we have a very high success rate. We just ask that you let us know so that we may focus on the next person's application. If you decide that you are unable to wait or you find a dog elsewhere, we understand. It may take a few days (hopefully much less!) before we are able to process your application depending on the current volume of applicants. Please understand that we all work as volunteers, with a large volume of dogs and applicants, and many urgent dogs needing immediate rescue. The first step to brining home your next canine companion is to apply! Once we review your application, someone from our Adoptions Team will be in touch shortly. ![]()
