New Beginnings Cat and Dog Rescue

If you are wondering what to expect when trying to adopt a pet from New Beginnings it will go something like this:

• You can either email us, call us or just fill out an adoption application on line to start the process.  Filling out an adoption application is the first requirement.
• After we receive your application it will be processed and your references checked.  The most important reference you can provide is your veterinarian. 
• Then you will receive an email asking you to tell us the phone number and the best time of day for us to have a chat.  This is to discuss any question either of us may have.
• We will then call you for that chat.
• Then we will call you again in a day or so to make an appointment to have one our reps come to your home for a "home check".  This is to verify that you are who you say you are.
• On occasion the pet you are desiring to adopt may be brought along for this visit.  This gives you and the pet a chance to interact and see if you are meeting each others expectations.  The pet will NEVER be left with you on this visit.  We want you to sleep on it.
• If you have other pets we will also want to have them meet the new pet prior to placement. For dogs, this is usually best to arrange a neutral area for both (not your home - but a convenient park or other place).  Doing this will not cause your pet to feel territorial toward the new pet.
• For approved applicants the dog/cat will be brought to your home for the placement.
• You will be asked to sign an adoption contract.  You may ask to preview this contract prior by emailing us. 
• You will be asked to pay the adoption fee at the time the pet is left with you.
• We would then hope to have a few follow up conversations with you during the new pets transition into your life and home.
