Application: The prospective adopter submits an application to start the process. If you have applied or adopted from us before, but it was over a year ago, we request that you submit an updated application.
Review
The application is reviewed by our adoption team, who follow up on the information provided.
Conversation: A phone call with the applicant to help get the information we need to complete the application approval process and match them with the right animal.
Meet-and-Greet: A meet-and-greet is scheduled with the approved adopter and the animal they are interested in, if desired. There are options for virtual and/or in-person meet and greets in most cases.
Adoption Day!: This happens at our Milltown Adoption Center, located at 39 S Main Street, Milltown, NJ 08850. We use the back door and parking is in the back of the building!
Medical Review and Contract Signing: The medical review and contract signing will either happen prior to adoption day (we use Docusign for virtual contracts when available) or in person on paper on adoption day. This varies depending on the circumstances, though we prefer to have this done before adoption day to make for a smooth pick-up experience!
