How this actually goes
- You apply onlineNo obligation. The application asks about the animal you are interested in, not only about you.
- They check with your vetAnd with your landlord, if you rent, to confirm pets are allowed.
- An adoption counselor callsThey call the families that fit this particular animal. Not everyone gets a call.
- Meet, then a sleepoverYou meet at the foster home, then a minimum seven-day sleepover before anything is final.
It takes days, sometimes weeks. They match an animal's personality rather than working through applications in order.
Adoption fee for Marzipan: $400+. Non-refundable, and it covers vetting.
