HOW WE MAKE MATCHES THAT LAST:
- OUR DOGS LIVE IN FOSTER HOMES SO WE GET TO KNOW THEM AND THEIR QUIRKS, PREFERENCES, BEHAVIORS TO HELP US MAKE FOREVER MATCHES
- NOT FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE – WE WANT TO MAKE THE BEST MATCH SO IF WE RECEIVE MULTIPLE APPLICATIONS FOR A DOG, WE CONSIDER ALL APPROVED APPLICANTS
- WE CONSIDER EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT OUR DOGS AND WHAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM IN DECIDING WHETHER TO APPROVE AN APPLICANT’S ADOPTION OF A PARTICULAR DOG. AN “APPROVED APPLICANT” MAY NOT BE THE RIGHT FIT FOR THE DOG THEY APPLIED FOR – WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECLINE AN ADOPTION IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.
