| Adoption Process |
The adoption process is simple. The first step is to complete the adoption
application. Our dogs are all in foster homes, so we you will need to be an
approved adopter before meeting any of our dogs. We try and list all available
information on our rescues in their individual biographies. Any further information
can be discussed once you are an approved adopter.
The ADOPTION FEES vary depending on the age and breed of dog you are
adopting. The fee covers the cost of spay/neuter, vet check, heartworm test,
microchip, 5 in 1 vaccination and bordatella vaccination. Adoption fees are paid at
the time of adoption with cash or check.
ADOPTION FEES
The ADOPTION APPLICATION can be downloaded by clicking on either the pdf or
the MS (Microsoft) Word version. Once selected, you can either print the application
or save it to your computer. You can submit the application via mail or send it
electronically to homevisits@azlabsandgiants.org
Adoption Application ===> MS Word Format or PDF Format
If you mail it, include a $15 application processing fee payable to ALGBR. If you
send it electronically, you can send the fee via PAYPAL or our volunteer will collect
it during the home visit.
Complete all the information on the application. Any missing information may slow
down the process. Once we have received your application, you will be contacted
within 48 hours. Your application will then be assigned to a volunteer that will
schedule a home visit.
The HOME VISIT allows us to get a better understanding of your family and your life
style so you meet dogs that fit your family. All members of your family must be
present for the home visit. During the home visit you will learn more about our
adoption process and our available dogs. If we currently do not have a dog that fits
your requirements, we will have you on our database for when the right dog comes
along. Upon approval, the home visit volunteer will assist you in meeting our dogs
and the adoption process.
The DOG MEETINGS are coordinated between your volunteer, the foster home and
your family. As we get new dogs in, we match them to adopters on our database
based on the criteria you have given us on your application and during the home
visit. Criteria such as color, age, sex and activity level will determine if you are
matched to the dog. When we have multiple adopters on the matchup list the foster
home will contact adopters in order by their application date. The longer you are
on the database, the higher you will be on any matchup list. When you are
scheduled to meet a dog you will need to include all members of your family
including any dogs you have at the meeting. It is important that all family members
as well as any dogs get along with our foster dog. These meetings are a way to see
if the dog is a good fit for your family as well as for the dog. Once you have met the
dog, you can either adopt the dog during the meeting or take 24 hours to make your
decision. You will need to contact the foster home with your decision, otherwise
the foster home will contact the next family 24 hours after you meeting the dog.
The ADOPTION PROCESS will require you to bring a collar, leash and id tag (for the
collar) so you can take your new dog home. An adoption agreement will be
completed and you will receive all the medical and vaccination information. The
adoption fee can be paid by cash or check.
